Soon we could have a My Smart Band 4 with NFC connectivity to make mobile payments easily by simply bringing the bracelet close to any dataphone with connectivity wireless, which means we wouldn't have to take out our phone or our physical card to make the payment.
Also, we shouldn't wait for the Mi Band 5, which is expected to have NFC, but Xiaomi would launch a version before the Mi Smart Band 4 with this type of connectivity. In any case, it is now only available in a single region.
The Mi Smart Band 4 with NFC appears on the manufacturer's website in its Russian version. At this time it would be necessary to purchase a model with a specific serial number and then make a series of adjustments to the bracelet system so that users can make payments with this bracelet.
NFC mobile payment functionality only works with the Russian version of the Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4 whose identifier is MGW4059RU, the rest do not have this possibility, although it is not ruled out that more models will be launched.
Apart from that, a user who bought the previous version of Xiaomi's bracelet would then have to enter the Mi Fit app and set the region to Russia in order to use the NFC and pay with your Mastercard card, possibly it will not matter if it is a debit or credit card.
The big question is whether this version will reach Spain, that is, if Xiaomi would be in the business of launching a “Spanish” version of the Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4with NFC and keeping in the catalog the one that everyone can now buy in an online store or physical establishment. At the moment, it is unknown.
NFC is a nice addition that will surely increase the cost of the bracelet a bit, which would make the Mi Smart Band 4 in a complete wearable for little price. This connectivity is only available for the Russian version, but it cannot be ruled out that it may be available in other regions.
What is clear is that there is a Mi Smart Band 4 with NFC, the unknown that remains to be resolved is whether Xiaomi finally brings it to Spain or not, there is no confirmation about it, but taking into account that we already know it, it might not take long to arrive.
