Realme is making a fitness tracker to compete with the Xiaomi Mi Band

The cheap fitness band market is a tough space in 2020, with strong competition from Xiaomi and others, but a new entry is coming soon from Realme.

Chinese phone manufacturer Realme has previously confirmed it's working on a fitness tracker and we now know that it's coming in February this year.

An exact release date for the Realme fitness band is currently unclear, but the company's India CEO Madhav Shethat confirmed that it will be launching sometime in February.

Shethat has previously teased the device on stage by wearing it in front of a crowd, but the company has yet to reveal the specs or price of the device.

We know from this tease that it will be available in a yellow color, but it's currently unclear if other shades will also be available. It also looks to have a silicone band, which may be the only strap option available for the fitness tracker.

A press render shared recently on Weibo - a Chinese social networking site - has given us the best look yet at the Realme fitness tracker, again showing it in yellow, but it sounds like we shouldn't have long to wait until we get an even closer, official look at the device.

Realme may take to Mobile World Congress at the end of February to announce its new fitness tracker. The company also has a variety of other products in the pipeline, including headphones and power banks, so we may hear about them in February too.

But CEO Brett Caine said this is the first time the company is moving into commerce. While sports and concerts tickets might not be a booming market right now, Caine suggested that the company is actually seeing increased purchasing activity “in and around the Airship platform” as businesses try to drive more in-app purchases.
