Xiaomi's Redmi sub-brand Smart Band 2 appears to be about to launch a fitness tracker in Europe.
The second-generation band was unveiled alongside the Redmi Watch 3 in China in late December, but details emerged earlier suggesting a larger release.
According to the Twitter leak and below, the Redmi Smart Band 2 will retail for €34.99, which is around £30 / $38.
And as seen in the original version, the Smart Band 2 completes the latest line of fitness trackers with a larger display. At 1.47 inches, it looks more like a smartwatch than an old budget tracker.
With similarly designed devices like the Huawei Watch Fit 2 and Xiaomi Smart Band 7 Pro available for just $100/£100, it will be very affordable.
With SpO2 readings, 14-day battery life and continuous heart rate monitoring, it looks good on paper too.
Of course, we expect performance or build quality to drop on these more premium models, but we'll reserve those parts for extensive testing and review.
And while we wait for further official confirmation of the Smart Band 2 release, we await the global launch of the Redmi Watch 3.
As mentioned, it appeared alongside the Smart Band 2, but the leaked marketing material doesn't seem to have it.
Only time will tell if it gets an extended launch at the same time or a China-only delay, but we'll provide an update when we know more.
