Different from the relatively rounded appearance of Xiaomi Mi Band 4, the shape design of Redmi Band is a bit on the rugged side with a rectangular frame, pointed edges and a 1.08-inch TFT color screen on the front, with vivid colors and adjustable brightness.

No power adapter is required. Remove the wrist strap and plug it into the USB port to recharge. It takes 2 hours to charge and provides 14 days of long battery life.
