Xiaomi Mi Band 6 rumoured to feature inbuilt Alexa and SpO2 monitor

New leaks sharing key details of the unreleased Mi Band 6 have surfaced online. Xiaomi's fitness-centric wearable Mi Band is quite popular in the budget segment and going by the leaked details, the Mi Band 6 will possibly follow the same trajectory.

The Mi Band 6 is said to retain all the useful features of the Mi Band 5 and top it up with new tools and some visual improvements. A user named MagicalUnicorn has been sharing details of the Mi Band 6 on Geekdoing forum. In the firmware code, the source found the words ‘Mi Band 6’' and also, the CMIIT ID registration number that has passed the China Radio Certification

The user claims that the band is codenamed "Pangu" and will come in two variants - XMSH16HM and XMSH16HM. It appears the former will be a model with NFC limited and the latter won't give NFC. The variant with NFC is said to be China-only and the other would be released in both the China and global markets.

Everything we know about the Mi Band 6

The latest details of the Mi Band 6 come from the data spotted inside the Zepp (companion app owned by Huami) app code. The commands found in the firmware revealed that the band will come with in-built Alexa voice assistant and a SpO2 sensor to measure blood oxygen.

The code also shows that the bracelet will also inherit the previous generation product to support function. The Mi Band 6 may seemingly have a larger display than of the Mi Band 5's 1.1-inch. That's because the leaked watchfaces for the Mi Band 6 have a higher resolution than those found on its predecessor.

User 'MagicalUnicorn' also discovered that the Xiaomi Mi Band 6 could arrive with up to 30 activity modes compared to only 11 found on the Mi Band 5.

Apart from these details, a set of icon pack was also shared that shows support for some new apps. You can check out all the leaked assets by going to the source link mentioned below.

Airtels new data add-on plans offer 5GB and 25GB data with free Wynk premium

In a bid to take on Reliance Jio, Airtel has silently released two new data add-on plans for its prepaid subscribers. The two plans are priced at Rs 78 and Rs 248 targeted to serve different demands. 

The plan was first seen by OnlyTech on the Airtel Thanks app. The two plans, in addition to data add-on, offer free access to Wynk premium subscription. The Rs 78 plan offers one-month Wynk premium subscription whereas the Rs 248 plan comes with one-year validity.

Along with the new data add-on plans, Airtel has also added the option to buy Wynk Premium subscription straight from the Airtel Thanks app. The premium membership costs Rs 49 per month and Rs 399 per year on the Digital Store.

Earlier this month, Amazon Prime also launched a mobile-only edition of  Prime Video called Prime Video Mobile Edition in partnership with  Airtel. It is available with the Rs 89 recharge from Airtel.

Here's what the new Airtel data add-on packs offer

The two plans are only for Airtel prepaid users who want to add extra 4G data to their existing plan. As evident from the price, the Rs 78 plan offers 5GB of additional data and the Rs 248 plan offers 25GB of 4G data. Note that both the plans are applicable to existing plan's validity. Meaning, if your existing plan expires in 10 days, the add-on data will also be valid for the given period. 

If a user crosses the data tariff FUP, Airtel will charge 50 paise per MB from the main balance. If the account is out of balance, the user will not be able to access the internet using mobile data. 

The newly launched the Rs 78 data add-on plan for prepaid users offers 5GB of 4G data with the same validity as the subscriber's existing validity recharge plan. In addition, the data pack offers a one-month free Wynk premium subscription. The operator notes that once the data tariff FUP has been crossed, the usage of data will be charged at 50 paise per MB data.

Microsoft increases Xbox Live Gold subscription cost, backtracks after backlash

If you are a console gamer, then you know the cost and value associated with its subscription services. Microsoft was the first to start a subscription service in the console space with its Xbox Live subscription and until Game Pass, Xbox Live Gold was the gold standard of the console subscriptions. On Friday 22 January 2021, Microsoft decided to increase the price of the Xbox Live Gold Subscription. In a statement, the company said, “The price of a 1-month Gold membership is increasing $1 USD and the price of a 3-month membership is increasing $5 USD or the equivalent amount in your local market”. The statement went on to say, “Going forward, new pricing will be 1-month for $10.99, 3-months for $29.99, and 6-months for $59.99, or your local market equivalent”.

After massive fan backlash, Microsoft has backtracked on the subscription cost. In an update to the original statement, Microsoft said, “We messed up today and you were right to let us know. Connecting and playing with friends is a vital part of gaming and we failed to meet the expectations of players who count on it every day. As a result, we have decided not to change Xbox Live Gold pricing”.

The statement goes on to say, “We’re turning this moment into an opportunity to bring Xbox Live more in line with how we see the player at the center of their experience. For free-to-play games, you will no longer need an Xbox Live Gold membership to play those games on Xbox. We are working hard to deliver this change as soon as possible in the coming months”.

New and existing members will pay the same price for an Xbox Live Gold subscription as before - $9.99 for 1-month, $24.99 for 3-months, $39.99 for 6-months and $59.99 for retail 12-months.

To put things into perspective, internationally the PlayStation Plus subscription costs $59.99 per year. With the new price, Microsoft’s subscription would be twice as expensive as the competition. 

Xbox Live Gold for consoles in India is priced at Rs 489 per month + tax. It is priced exactly the same as the Console only variant of Game Pass. Game Pass Ultimate is priced at Rs 699 + tax per month and combines Game Pass for console and PC along with EA access and an Xbox Live Gold all into one package making it the ideal option for gamers.
