The wait was worth it. We finally have the long-awaited Xiaomi Smart Band 7 in Spain from the Chinese technology giant. It was just yesterday when the previously known Mi Band landed and there are many who have opted for it without hesitation.
This activity bracelet from the Asian company is one of the most popular smartphone accessories due to its great value for money and the many virtues it has. That is why its launch is all the rage among the community, although there are those who doubt whether to opt for it and for this reason we are going to expose all the changes between the current Xiaomi Smart Band 7 and the previous model.
A renewed Xiaomi Smart Band 7
As expected, Xiaomi has improved several sections in this new release that make it, above all, an ideal alternative for sports lovers , but also the ideal device to lead a healthy lifestyle. Although it is true that the modifications are not entirely significant in some cases, although little by little the entity introduces improvements so that it ends up becoming an optimal wearable.
battery boost
One of the most important improvements has to do with autonomy. The previous generation of bracelets was accompanied by a 125 mAh battery with a duration of approximately 12 days, which has gone on to have a power of 180 mAh in the Xiaomi Smart Band 7 . So now it easily reaches 14 days in standby mode. A small increase, but one that is beneficial to the user.
Dimensions and weight
This new model of the Xiaomi accessory has undergone various changes in relation to its size and weight. The last Xiaomi Smart Band 6 received dimensions of 47.4 mm long, 18.6 mm wide and 12.7 mm high compared to 46.5 long, 20.7 wide and 12.25 high of the recent release. This means that the length has been reduced to bet on a greater width , while it is also a little less thick. Despite this, the weight of the bracelet has risen from 12.8 grams to 13.5 grams, so the feeling of overload on the wrist is somewhat greater.
Screen
Another section that has undergone notable changes is related to the AMOLED panel that integrates the Xiaomi Smart Band. Now it has a larger size of 1.62 inches and a better resolution of 192 × 490 pixels, while the previous year’s version has a 1.56-inch screen and a resolution of 152 × 486 pixels. A modification that implies an ideal display of the content on the screen with a higher quality and capable of displaying more information.
Android compatibility
We have bad news for those users who have a smartphone of a certain age and that is that the Xiaomi Smart Band 7 is only compatible with devices with Android version 6.0 or higher. It should be noted that model number 6 enjoyed affinity with Android 5.0 versions, so if you want to take advantage of the novelties of this new bracelet you will have to change your phone.
sports modalities
Here comes the jewel in the crown of what would be previously known as Mi Band 7 and it is that it integrates more than 100 sports modes to carry out precise monitoring based on exercise. This is a drastic improvement considering that the Xiaomi Smart Band 6 only boasted 30 modes, so the change is quite pronounced and fitness lovers will be delighted with this aspect. It should be noted that it also has a professional VO₂ Max training analysis, which reports on the amount of oxygen you need for training.
Price
Since the beginning of the Mi Band we have witnessed how prices have increased progressively and, despite remaining stable in the fourth and fifth models, both the previous generation and the current Xiaomi Smart Band 7 have seen an increase in the original cost. Without an offer in between, the starting price of this new bracelet is 59.99 euros compared to 44.99 euros at the launch of last year. A fact that you must take into account before facing your purchase.
