The alternative options to the Xiaomi Mi Band 5 are increasingly complete and this time the alternative comes from very close to the company, through Huami the collaborator of the brand itself has made the Amazfit Pop known. This smartwatch completes everything what we can miss in the Mi Band 5 , making it a very complete device and maintaining a low price.
It is difficult for the Amazfit Pop to surpass the Mi Band 5 in popularity, but this will not be added, because in principle we already have a larger screen, which is an advantage given that the small one that incorporates the Mi Band 5 it does not always allow us to see messages or notifications easily. Specifically, its screen is in color with 1.43 inches in a square format that reminds us of other models of the firm.
A complete smartwatch from start to finish
Beyond a design with greater dimensions, we have water resistance of up to 50 meters and the possibility of controlling the efforts we make throughout the day with PAI technology that also includes the latest Mi Band 5 as standard. The heart rate detection is also present and will allow us to know the state of sleep accurately or the efforts during the sport with its more than 60 sport modes.
The spheres are customizable through the Zeep app that is available in the Play Store, as well as other options that are added to the alarms or reminders that are added to the control of the music. Its weight is just 31 grams, which is surprising for incorporating a 230 mAh battery that can last up to 9 days on depending on the use we make.
The features that the Mi Band 5 does not have
Although all of the above may be interesting to us, what is really new and what the Mi Band 5 does not have but the Amazfit Pop does is all the following:
- Blood oxygen level meter, aided by Bio Tracker 2 technology to monitor heart rate 24 hours a day.
- NFC to make payments without depending on the mobile or the card.
- High-precision GPS, allowing us to go for a run or play sports without carrying our mobile on us.
Price and launch of the Amazfit Pop
The last great news of this new smartwatch comes when knowing its price, because beyond what we can think it does not exceed 50 euros. The launch price of the Amazfit Pop in China is 349 yuan, which is just 45 euros for a smartwatch that greatly improves the possibilities of Xiaomi’s Mi Band 5. We hope that you are encouraged to bring it to Spain and other countries as it is an alternative that could work very well. The date of departure in China has not been disclosed for now.
