Over the past few years Xiaomi has emerged as one of the top brands in smartphones and smart accessories around the world. Their biggest strength lies in their pricing of the products, which are quite less when compared to similar products from other brands. Even in India, Xiaomi has seen a massive growth in the mobile phone market share, where their various smartphones did extremely well. Currently they hold the maximum percentage of the Indian mobile phone market, surpassing other big brands by a huge margin like Samsung, Oppo and Vivo. Other than the regular smartphones, Xiaomi also produces fitness trackers with the name Mi Band. Mi Bands are very popular among fitness enthusiasts and the previous models of this product did good business.

A big challenge is ahead for not only Xiaomi but every other tech company, to identify the potential customers and to make sure they are getting required services even after the purchase is complete. This can turn out to be the perfect time to build brand image, along with finding potential markets for future products.

Other features of Mi Band 5 may include various sports mode and heart rate monitor. This new product from Xiaomi is supposed to do well as a fitness tracker in the affordable price range.
