That the Xiaomi Mi Band 4 is already in development is nothing new for us. But a new certification suggests that we may see Xiaomi's new smartband sooner than we expected. According to the DroidShout website, the Xiaomi Mi Band 4 appeared on the official website of the NCC certification agency in Taiwan. The site also released the first images of the wearable.
The photos at the end of this article are not high quality marketing photos. They offer some quick glimpses of different angles of the smartband for certification purposes.

The images don't show us anything unexpected about the new smartband. It looks remarkably similar to the Xiaomi Mi Band 3 - as was to be expected - and is likely to have similar technology, such as the heart rate tracker, which you can see in one of the photos, as well as a small black and white display.
The certification listing confirms that the company plans to make a separate variant of the Mi Band 4 with NFC, for smartphone-free payments, but the company is expected to include the technology in a model available only from China, as was the case with Xiaomi Mi. Band 3.
Previous leaks have suggested the same thing, as well as the fact that we'll get low-power Bluetooth 5.0 technology in this new smartband.
There's no word yet on a release date for the Mi Band 4 - but considering a Xiaomi exec released it recently, we expect to see it by the end of the year - but a certification listing suggests the smartband is almost ready, so It is quite possible that it will arrive on the market soon.
