It improves the sleep tracking with SpO2 measurements and breathing quality options, though these two reduce the battery life significantly. Now, this new Smart Band 6 also offers SpO2 measurements and even more sports modes. Breathing exercises are available as well. Just like the Mi Band 5, the Mi Smart Band 6 can also track female cycles. PAI - Personal Activity Intelligence mode and Stress calculations are also present.
The Mi Band 6 works with the Mi Fit app and the core functionality remains unchanged - it can do heart-rate measurements, sleep tracking, sport tracking, show notifications, act as a camera shutter, control your default music player, has the usual alarm/timer/stopwatch functions.
But when it comes to showering and pools - we've never had issues with the Mi Band 5 model and so far, the Mi Band 6 is holding pretty well, too. We've tested one Mi Band 5 at sea water, and it survived, we've seen another one die upon submersion and then come back to life when hooked on a charger, and we also killed one of these. It sure isn't ideal, but it's not a headache either.įinally, the Mi Band 6 is as protected as the previous model - it has a tempered glass to keep the screen safe and the whole thing is waterproofed at up to 5ATM. The indentations around the rubber strap are still here and they will accumulate dirt over time, and we suggest cleaning these on a regular basis to avoid rashes or worse. You can also spot the pogo charging pins. The heart-rate sensor has been upgraded with the ability to monitor SpO2 (blood oxygen) and that's probably why the bottom looks different. The sensors at the bottom of the Mi Band 6 have different arrangement but are equally thin. The screen glass seems to be as susceptible to scratches as the Mi Band 5's, so if you hope for a tougher one, we'd have to disappoint you. We found ourselves reaching for this missing key occasionally when we wanted to go back to the watch face, but in a week or so this habit was gone. The whole display is capacitive and you either swipe (in all directions), tap, or tap and hold to operate with the band. Having an all-screen front means there is no touch-sensitive key. It's an edge-to-edge panel with the same shape as the band, including the round top and bottom.

The major upgrade is the display - it's now a 1.56" AMOLED screen with sharp 326ppi resolution (152x486 px) up from 1.1" (29x126 px, 326ppi). And that's great news for two reasons - the new features didn't make the Mi Band bigger, and all straps you bought for your Mi Band 5 are compatible with the Mi Band 6. The size and weight remain pretty much the same - 47.4 x 18.6 x 12.7 mm and 12.8 grams (vs. The Mi Band 6's body is identical in size to the Mi Band 5 - it's the same tiny piece of plastic and with tempered glass atop the screen. We haven't seen such, shall we say a book, in a while! Design and strap Oddly, half of the space inside the box is wasted to an unbelievably thick manual. The bundle contains the band itself, one strap (black in our case), and the same magnetic charger as the Mi Band 5.
The new Mi Band 6 comes packed within the same long and thin paper box as the previous version.
Meanwhile the global pandemic made the pulse oximeters (SpO2) a must-have and the Mi Band 6 is keeping with the latest trends by adding a blood oxygen level monitor of its own. This year the screen sees an even bigger boost with an edge-to-edge full-color OLED. Last year the Mi Band 5 brought a larger OLED screen and a magnetic charging - two major upgrades over the Mi Band 4. It's small, lightweight, and super cheap, yet it aims to do a ton of stuff. Xiaomi's Mi Smart Band, or just Mi Band as it's known in China, is undeniably one of the most popular wearables across the world.
