Redmi Smart Band 2's global launch appears imminent as price details leak
The fitness tracker looks ready to land on the continent
Xiaomi sub-brand Redmi appears on the cusp of releasing its Smart Band 2 fitness tracker in Europe.
The second-gen band was only announced in China at the end of December alongside the Redmi Watch 3, but details have already emerged pointing to a wider rollout being imminent.
According to leaked material shared on Twitter, shown below, the Redmi Smart Band 2 will retail for €34.99 - translating to roughly around £30 / $38.
And, as shown off in the initial reveal, the Smart Band 2 joins the recent bandwagon of fitness trackers featuring a bigger display. At 1.47 inches, this one looks much more like a smartwatch than old-style budget trackers.

Whereas similarly designed devices like the Huawei Watch Fit 2 and Xiaomi Smart Band 7 Pro are only available for around the $100 / £100 mark, however, this kind of price point would prove much more accessible.
With features like SpO2 readings, 14-day battery life and continuous heart rate monitoring, as well, it appears to stack up pretty well on paper.
