Xiaomi Mi Band 7 Pro -Firmware Update Added VO2 Max, More Watch Faces
After several months, the MI Band 7 Pro smartband received a firmware update. A new OTA update (Over the Air), it added new features as well as update its different functions with new metrics. With the latest update version 1.3.38, added the following features to the smartwatch.
- Preset AOD (Always On Display) watch face optimization, more market watch faces
Checking on the app, it has added new watch faces, only few watch faces has been added. These new watch faces has been integrated with always on display watch faces. We do hope that there will be a consistent update of watch faces accompanied by an Always On Display Watch Face.
- NFC Optimization – there is no details on what type of optimization for NFC, but we guess its more of stability and fast response time for the NFC function.
- Added VO2 Max – yes, finally it is available in the band. With the VO2 max, the fitness tracker will be able to monitor the maximum rate of oxygen while working out. It’s a feature that is available in popular wearable such as Garmin, Amazfit as well as Apple Watch.
- Added Sleep Breathing Quality – with the sleep monitoring, aside from monitoring your heart rate and tracking your sleep stages including the REM sleep. It has added the Breathing score, monitoring your nightime breathing. The breathing score is still in beta.
- Add Interval Training – we think its already available in the previous version. Maybe they just added functions or optimization.
- Support Hidden Application – still confused with this addition, no details for this
- Add Weather Warning Function – it has improved its weather reporting by adding the weather alert. You can toggle it on in the weather function in the support app. We are not sure but they say the option from fahrenheit to Celsius and vice versa it not been before in the app.
