March 4 news, foreign media XDA reported that from the @Logger news, Xiaomi Band 7 will be equipped with a larger display, support for information screen display, built-in GPS, new intelligent alarms and so on.
The Mi Band 7 has a resolution of 192×490 and the existing Mi Band 6 has a resolution of 152×486. Xiao Lei does not expect much change in the overall size of the Xiaomi bracelet, which means that its screen ratio is higher and looks more modern. The improvement of the appearance value can promote the purchase desire of some users, and the sales of the Xiaomi Bracelet 7 may also be very good.
As for whether to add a GPS mode, it is not good to say, the leaked firmware of the Mi Band 6 also said that it will support GPS, but in the end, the product did not have a GPS function. The Xiaomi Bracelet is mainly endurance, so the Xiaomi Band 7 does not necessarily come with a GPS function.

GPS is also important for users. Many users buy Xiaomi bracelet to monitor heart rate, record exercise and so on. The Xiaomi Mi Band 6 does not have a GPS function and cannot independently record the trajectory of running, so users can only take a mobile phone to run. Now the mobile phone can not move on 200g, whether it is held in the hand, or placed in the pants pocket is quite cumbersome.
GPS can also be used to record the user's riding, it can display the current speed in real time, instead of the function of part of the code meter. Today's code watch market is mixed, code meter charging is still troublesome, if the Xiaomi bracelet 7 is online, it will inevitably attract many cycling enthusiasts.
The information screen display function is more likely to go online. Xiaomi Bracelet 6 uses an AMOLED screen, there was no upper screen display function at that time, and it may still take into account battery life. Xiaomi can launch some simpler screen patterns for users who pay attention to battery life. Xiaomi can also set the timed to turn on the information screen display function, such as turning off the information screen display when sleeping, which can greatly extend the battery life.
Xiaomi said when the Xiaomi Bracelet 6 was released that the bracelet product is almost the first. Xiaomi Band 7 does not increase the screen display, it is difficult to arouse the original user's desire to update the device.
However, the millet bracelet is after all a product for the public, its pricing should not be too high, once the GPS module is added, its cost will inevitably increase a lot, the price of the millet bracelet 7 or close to 300 yuan.
