[god_anmo]

Will you be able to set up a wallpaper game for example flappy bird like on mi bands 6, 7, 8?

Мне нравится, что смартфон сам нашел ми бенд поблизости и предложил подключить его к смартфону. Это очень круто!

Smaller, brighter. Nice 👍 I have small arm so Miband 8 to big, i think I should buy Miband 9.

Band 8 dead in 8-9 months, old redmi watch lite also dead with half screen not responsive, no more ximi wearable devices, so suck of quality, just go and grab cheap amazfit or huawei.

Why so many people obsessed with NFC? Like I wouldn't trust a damn smart band to make a transaction.😂😂

[joshdeee]

From Mi band 6, I think this is a big upgrade.

[zaidkadiri]

Is it okay to go for the Chinese version from Aliexpress or should I wait for the global version?

[Chuong.]

I'm having issues to pair my band. It keep saying to "update the app first" but there is no update and for this reason i can't pair my new band. Could someone help me ?

Cool, you have the Sharge Shargeek Storm 2 100. I have the Sharge Shargeek 170. 👍

Real question is - does it support custom "apps" like on 7?
