Let’s have a look at the Mi Band 4: is it the best fitness tracker in the world? Is it the best Mi Band yet! Join me and let’s find the answers!

I Usually show you the process of unboxing – as it demonstrates a company’s attitude towards presenting a product. We live in a world ruled by marketing, and we’ve often seen how shiny packages can sell poor devices. I had the feeling I am unboxing one of the many Chinese lower grade devices – but let’s say we can live with that. Inside – there’s the band, some papers, and the charging dock.
The most obvious difference to the previous generations, and the biggest update that we immediately notice is the display – it is now color AMOLED screen with the size of 0.95 – we have considerably larger screen surface if we compare to older generations – but the band keeps its discrete shape and still looks gentle and nice on the wrist.
Other than that – it is likely powered by a new generation of Dialog Semiconductor-manufactured SoC – which is based on the ARM technology and very power efficient. Comes with Bluetooth 5.0, 135mah battery, PPG heart-rate sensor, and waterproofness up to 50 meters!
On paper all these specs are remarkable. The display is also fantastic – promising 24bit color depth, as well as brightness up to 400nits, which can compete with the brightness on flagship smartphone displays from a few years ago.
Considering the hardware – there are two thing that some of the tech-fans may miss – no embedded GPS – which seems to be avoided in favor of better battery life, and no NFC – and although there is an NFC version of the Mi Band .
Let’s shift the attention to the software, where we can notice a bunch of improvements as well.
There is one main capacitive button at the bottom, and the touch screen is also responding to vertical and horizontal swipes. Swiping left or right by default gets you to the music player. Surprisingly, there even is possibility to turn up and down the volume – and people with smaller fingers will have better success – but it is remarkable how sensitive the touch screen is!
Few words about the smartphone application – which is still – Mi Fit – and is still designed and maintained by Huami. Few years later – it is not too colorful – as it used to be in the past, and is much better.
I currently am at around 12 days of battery life with 25% left – and I’ve been heavily using the device during this time, including continuous heart rate, sports, notifications and a lot of screen on time. So it can easily last for two weeks, and with a little more conservative usage – up to three. Notifications are very well visible, and vibration is very strong! And it is one of the few bands where you won’t miss any alarms!
Mi Band 4 is perhaps the biggest step up in terms of specs and features. Excellent UI, fantastic battery life, and superb build quality which includes scratch-resistant glass. For around 30 dollars! No NFC, no GPS, and no automatic sports tracking and one of these is a dealbreaker. And yeah – it is so much better than Mi Band 3! Are you going to upgrade? Comment below.

Xiaomi never fail to amaze me with the price and quality of their products

Thank you for your suggestion to use Notify&Fintess for Mi band. I will try this app.
Unfortunately, I do not like my Mi band 3 because it is only a toy.
And as I see from your video improvement is shown only in brightness.
For me, the biggest problem with Mi band 3 is that sensor of heartrate is working unstable.
Some times it unexpectedly increases the measurement of heart rate. It is very nasty because when I set a threshold to notify me about high heart rate some times it starts to vibrate even though my heart rate is normal and I at first can not rely on this measurement and load myself on 100% and at the second I was frightened by this fake rate.
Also, I can not find a good silicon strap for Mi band 3 because the original is small for me. I bought a beautiful metal strap but it weights a lot and can not be used in sports activities.
So can I ask you to test Mi band 4 deeper?
For instance to set a threshold on heartrate on 150 and others and try to run several times in normal (to be sure that your heart rate does not have to get over number that was set) temp 3-10 km and notice if it will hit that point of heartrate.
And do other tests of heartrate sensor.

Who all thought he was pronouncing Xiaomi wrong until you released he was talking about huami

[bogusparasite]

Wearing my miband4 right now and I can tell you that it's not a great fitness tracker for the price, it's a great fitness tracker full stop.

[radiccs]

Great detailed review! And oh, you're probably the most pleasant tech reviewer out there. It's a pleasure watching you discuss tech. Keep it up!

[dpmorton]

I love me mi band 3 but will definitely be getting a 4 for Christmas

[misaalanshori]

I don't do a lot of fitness/sports but I can't wait to get my Mi Band 4 tomorrow...

[NickPR]

As someone who's had every version of the Mi band, I cannot recommend 4 enough! It still has crazy battery durability, same physical design as 3 so you can use most straps, the amount of customized displays becomes bigger every day, music controls, etc. It's also becoming widely available for under $40 for the global version, so if you spot a deal go ahead and grab it!!!

i regret buying mi band 3 2 months ago 😂😂😂😂

[litosquest]

Got mine today I'm really enjoying it.

[Teeraphatearth]

Can't wait for you to take a look at Amazfit GTR that got announce 2 days ago.

3:33 A bit of a correction in this part. If the strap binds to the Mi Band only by the recessed sides of the pod, then straps from the Mi Band 3 and 4 are interchangeable. *You might have a problem when using straps that wraps around the bottom or top part of the pod*, those are the parts in which the Mi Band 4 have more girth.

How do I know this? From my own idiocy. I bought this metal strap supposedly for the Mi Band 3 thinking it would fit on my brand-spanking-new Mi Band 4. You know how that turned out

[siamrahman]

Yes I'm going to upgrade from Band 3 to 4... Ordered one yesterday.

[chillwavegeneral]

[sathishhari]

Appreciate your comparative analysis going to get for me and my wife

[ommegater]

I'm mi band 2 user for a bunch of years now, and im seriously thinking of upgrading to this primaraly cause the screen is so much better now.

[CalebT]

From a Mi Band 2 user, hell yeah after few years of using it, my Mi Band 2 doesn't work as well as it did on its glory days (it was hard to check the time under the sun)

[ezgetap]

bravo, another great video from you.Yes, we must upgrade from miband3 to miband4

[jrami]

[aljeb]
