Xiaomi launches the Smart Band 8 Active with an insanely cheap price and crazy battery life

Earlier this year, Xiaomi announced its latest fitness tracker in the form of the Smart Band 8. Now it looks like the company is back with another iteration of the device called the Smart Band 8 Active.

The Smart Band 8 Active will come with a 1.47-inch TFT display with a resolution of 172×320 which can hit a peak brightness of 420 nits. There is also a built-in SpO2 tracker, sleep monitoring, stress manager, and a menstrual health tracker. There are also over 50 fitness modes for users to choose from, along with 5ATM water resistance.

It sounds like a very standard run-of-the-mill fitness tracker and there are more powerful and feature-rich alternatives out there, but we doubt that they will be as attractive as the Smart Band 8 Active in terms of price. The device will be priced at £19.99, which is honestly insanely cheap and perfect for those who want a basic fitness tracker.

The built-in 210mAh battery is also said to last up to 14 days, which compared to some other smartwatches that last for less than a week, this is honestly a pretty good deal and great value for money, so if you're looking for a no-frills fitness tracker, this could be it.
