The band will also have stress and breathing management features, likely tied into the new SpO2 sensor. There will be a stress meter as well as breathing exercises to help you relax. Additionally, there will be a Do Not Disturb mode, which silences alarms for a limited time (e.g. 30, 60 or 120 minutes).

The Mi Band 5 will have a larger 1.2” display compared to 0.95” of the previous model. Interestingly, it will come pre-loaded with an Avengers watch face (Xiaomi and affiliated companies do Marvel tie-ins pretty often).
