Mi Band 6 - Full Review - vs. Mi band 4 & 5 [Xiaomify]

Woah! It's the Mi band 6, already? Well yes, it is!
This time around I surely didn't expect to already see Xiaomi launch the Mi Band 6, but since it's here... let's have a look!

This time around the Mi band (once again) does not have any major upgrades. It does have one significant upgrade which is a 60% percent in screen size, which doesn't look like much at first sight, but it's quite a big change. Other changes include the addition of an SPO2 sensor to measure blood-oxygen levels.

It now also has a total of 30 fitness trackers, which is a significant difference from previous generations. What also seems to be new is the ability to see previous workouts, something I did not see on the Mi band 4 or Mi band 5.

It comes with bigger storage and ram sizes compared to the Mi band 5 as well, as it now has 2 MB of RAM (4x) and 32MB ROM (2x).

And last but not least, it also has a sleep-breathing analysis, something that previous generations also did not have.

Overall it does have a few improvements, with the display being the most significant visual change, but this time around it's not a MAJOR upgrade...

Really appreciate the sensor accuracy comparison with earlier models. Keep up the good work! 😎👍

I am gonna jump to 6 from 3 and looking as the features, it's gonna be a Quantum leap. I am happy with whatever I am getting on 6.

That’s enough for me to upgrade from my MiBand4.. MiBand5 doesn’t offered me the desired changes but this time it does offer.

[joeiever]

no mention of notifications and how messages how easy or not they are to read, text size, rows, call info, etc...

[haythemmessaoui]

I'm still happy with my mi band 4; This thing is built like a beast and still works perfectly 2 years later

[chewanfarhan]

You should've show how the Notification's text received & read.

First time watching a video here, but damn the production quality is top notch. Answering all the questions we have in a clear and entertaining way

wanted to get the mi band 5 next week and 6 has just come out. I'll definitely get the 6 now

It would be great to have an option to add some music on it so you can use it with some bluetooth earbuds without a phone (useful for running especially).

I am still on the Band 4 for the last two years and still very happy with its features and performance. The Band 6 would be a nice upgrade for me, but will probably wait for the next version. Thank you very much for the nice review!!

I got every mi band since the first one.
SPO2 is the greatest novelty and for me enough to upgrade. It helps to have accurate anaerobic values and burnt calories.
I gifted every previous gen to friends and family so nothing goes to waste :)

[SrSamuerto]

I think the same as what you said in 7:40~, the 5 wasn't much of an upgrade, but the 6 over the 4 might be, but then I saw the price, which is 10 to 15€ extra than what I got my Mi Band 4 when it came out.
Mine still works fine, so if I really get the 6th, I will be gifting the 4th since it would look like a waste not to use it. The upgrades from 1 to 2, 3 and 4 were so big I didn't have that feeling. I skipped the 5th for that reason.

Lately, Xiaomi has been making smaller changes in mi band. And I guess they have reached a point where they can't really think of any big changes. I bought mi band 1, 2, 3 and 4. The difference between these generations were significant enough for me to consider upgrading. But mi band 5 didn't bring much to the table so I didn't upgrade. Mi band 6 doesn't seem like a really good upgrade either. The bigger screen and the SpO2 sensor are great additions but they are not enough to make me upgrade from mi band 4 to mi band 6. Hopefully mi band 7 will add more features that will make upgrading worthwhile. I really can't think of what Xiaomi can add to improve the device though. Mi band 4 pretty much has all the features one could want.

I am from India I am using mi band 4 previous generation but it is still working good I❤️MI THANKS FOR THE REVIEW

[MartinBergersen]

The Mi band has been the sweetspot for what a tracker needs to be for me. I've had the 4 since launch, and think I'll get the 6. The bigger screen and a magnetic charger is worth the upgrade 🤓

I started using Mi Band 2 back in 2017, then when Mi Band 3 got released in 2018, I switched to it because it had a bigger screen that can read notifications and more functions. In late 2019 (Nov-Dec), I changed to the Mi Band 4 as the Mi Band 3 battery became shitty and lasted around 7-8 days instead of the 2 weeks+. I'm still using the Mi Band 4, and it still gives me a battery life of around 12-15 days despite almost 1 and a half years. I think I'll get the Mi Band 6 as soon as it is available here in Malaysia. :)

[DariuszTech]

I still have mi band 5 brand new in a box as didn't feel like switching from my mi band 4. But now I think I'll go straight to 6.

[rutvijj]

The UI looks so familiar yet so modern and sleek haha

[mRibbons]

I've owned 3, 4, and 5. I loved them all. The price of entry is so low. I've paid 6x as much on Netflix in a year.

The 6 looks great. Time to buy!

[d.barisacar]

The only upgrade this band needs is ambient light sensor for automatic brightness setting. Without it, it is really difficult to increase the brightness if you are already outside.
