Xiaomi introduces the Mi Home Body Fat Scale 4 Pro, marking the first time the company equips a smart scale with a rechargeable battery. This shift eliminates the need for disposable batteries, offering a more sustainable and convenient experience for daily health tracking. Users who prioritize long-term maintenance and consistent power will appreciate the move away from frequent battery replacements.
Rechargeable battery and dual-frequency impedance replace disposable cells
The device utilizes dual-frequency bioelectrical impedance measurement to assess body composition. Xiaomi states that readings for fat mass and body fat percentage show a correlation greater than 0.93 when compared to DEXA scans, which serve as the medical gold standard. The scale features a white design with ITO-coated tempered glass and a four-quadrant layout with rounded corners.

Powering the device is a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that charges via a USB-C port.

The Mi Home Body Fat Scale 4 Pro is available in China with a standard price of CNY 199 (around $29.62).

While the launch is currently limited to China, past patterns suggest a potential international release.
