The next iteration of Xiaomi’s successful Mi Band series is expected to sport a display similar to its predecessor. There are rumours that the display will have a 2.5D curved glass on top. The Mi Band 3 could also get rid of the physical button and introduce gestures for navigation. Apart from that, the Mi Band 3 is expected to be IP67 rated for water and dust resistance and also have support for Bluetooth 4.2 and NFC.

Lei Jun also said Xiaomi has been testing the Band 3 for two-three months, and found it to be far better than the company’s previous two Mi Bands. The May 31st event will see Xiaomi launch a plethora of products. The Mi Band 3 will have a hard time gaining everyone’s attention as the Mi 8 is expected to be the headline-grabber.
