In terms of specifications, the Xiaomi Smart Band 7 Pro may share some functionalities with the Redmi Smart Band Pro, particularly in the health and fitness department. Both heart rate and SpO2 (blood oxygen) tracking are expected along with the expanded workout modes and sleep/stress monitoring.

If the previous rumor is to be believed, the Band 7 Pro could eventually sport a 250 mAh battery, which is 25 percent more than the Redmi-branded tracker. For the first time, Xiaomi could also introduce standalone GPS connectivity on the Pro variant. This will put the band in the same category as the recently launched Amazfit Bip 3 Pro of Zepp with the same feature.
