A range of smart, sports bracelets, Xiaomi Mi Band, is certainly overwhelmingly familiar to most of you. The latest generation of this model line, the Mi Band 5, was recently officially introduced to the domestic, Chinese market.
But what about the global version? We met that a few moments ago. The name of the bracelet will change to for the rest of the world Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 5.
Display with enlarged diagonal
As you can read in the article, in which we talk about the presentation of the Chinese version, Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 5 it also differs from its predecessor in the diagonal of the display, which increased slightly from 0,95 ″ to 1,1 ″.
This is a beautiful, colorful and bright AMOLED display, whose maximum brightness is a great 450 rivets. This means that you do not have to worry about poor readability when performing outdoor, sports activities in direct sunlight.
With a resolution of 126 x 294 pixels, which gives us a total fineness of 290 pixels per inch, you will always see the image sharply and clearly. As we could see in some of the pictures, even before the Chinese version itself is introduced, we really don't see a display that absorbs almost the entire front.
The icon button below the screen has been retained
Below the screen, there is already a touch button by default, which are used to navigate back in the user environment of the bracelet, or to wake it up and unlock it. The built-in dials are designed a bit better than for the Xiaomi Mi Band 4.
The reason is very simple. However, the larger display area allows better optimization of the displayed elements. From the beginning, the user will have 100 preset designs for dials.
We are sure that the community will then create other, alternative and original designs, from which you will definitely choose. You will check your incoming notifications from your smartphone again a little more conveniently.
Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 5 will accompany you during the sports
As a sports companion, he must also be equipped with proper sports modes. Therefore, we are pleased that the manufacturer has added innovations such as yoga, elliptical trainer, rowing machine, skipping rope or stationary bike.
Thus, you can measure your performance in eleven activities and sports. In addition, the device can detect them completely on its own, so you don't have to worry about turning on monitoring for a given exercise.
Water resistance certification, reaching 50 ATM is the same as in the case of the predecessor. The big pity is the absence of NFC. Despite the fact that the Chinese version has it, its integration would be practically useless in our country, due to the only payment option via UnionPay.
At least the Bluetooth technology is in version 5.0, so you don't have to worry about quickly discharging the battery either on your smartphone or on the bracelet itself. We will also mention the function of monitoring blood pressure, or the intensity and regularity of breathing.
Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 5 has more advanced sleep monitoring
Another novelty is more advanced monitoring of your sleep activity. This time it will be possible during a less deep REM sleep, so the bracelet will record your sleep even in the afternoon rest.
It is also worth mentioning the integration of a function that allows you to control the camera shutter of your smartphone remotely, without having to touch a mobile phone. It is definitely a handy plus that you will miss during long-shot photography, or in the case of group photos, which you also want to be on.
A new way of charging and a good price
For ladies, there is also the option of monitoring menstrual cycles, so that it is not necessary to install an application other than the one with which you pair the bracelet. In more demanding situations, a tool for reducing stress can also help you, which will guide you through various breathing exercises to calm you down.
Users also demanded charging options without having to remove the device from the rubber bracelet. From now on, you can charge the 125 mAh battery by simply attaching the adapter to the bottom. The novelty is supposed to last 14 days on a single charge.
The price of Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 5 is set at € 39,99, while from the beginning you can buy an intelligent, sports bracelet for only € 34,99.
