The Xiaomi Mi Band 6 It is one of the most widely used smart bracelets in the world. It is an economical product, very useful, light and compatible with almost any smartphone. Today Xiaomi has decided to launch a latest version which will be available in the next few days. It is the version that we would like to have seen in March of this year and that did not leave China for unknown reasons. Now it has come out and will be available with two main features. Is it worth changing the Mi Band 6 for the Mi Band 6 NFC?
The new Mi Band 6 NFC has NFC and Alexa payments
In the first quarter of 2021 Xiaomi presented two models of the Mi Band 6: one with NFC and Alexa and one without these two features. The model that arrived in Spain and the rest of the western markets was the basic one, without the functions of contactless payments and Alexa. Today Xiaomi reverses this situation.
The new Xiaomi Mi Band 6 NFC is official in Spain and the rest of European markets. The bracelet is exactly the same as the previous one, but with the possibility to pay by NFC in shops and enjoy Alexa. No other detail changes except, how could it be otherwise, the final price.
The NFC will allow pay in establishments of all kinds or enjoy your transport pass. All the details are not yet known, but it is possible that it works like the rest of the watches that support NFC payments. You will have to configure it with your preferred mobile payment app and it will be ready.
The Alexa integration is also a great feature, as will allow you to interact with the assistant to control the devices from your home or perform actions on your mobile. It is very interesting and if you have speakers with Alexa at home it can be an incredibly useful feature.
The new one Xiaomi Mi Band 6 NFC has an official price of 54.90 euros, about $ 64. It’s a higher price, but not much more. Currently the Mi Band 6 is on Amazon for about 40-45 euros.
Is it worth changing the Mi Band 6 for the Mi Band 6 NFC?
The question is simple: if you use mobile payments a lot and have smart devices, it is worth the change. You will have two extra functions that will save you from taking out your mobile every little time. If you can sell the Mi band 6 Or give it to someone else, it is possible that the 54 euros of the new bracelet is a good investment.
If you do not usually pay for NFC and you do not have smart devices at home, it is a mistake to change it. Both bracelets, beyond these two details, they are exactly identical.
