Xiaomi's Mi Band 7: The Wearable Tech Wowing the Masses
0 comments
In a recent overview by technology aficionado Michael Elsegood on his YouTube channel, the Mi Band 7 emerges as possibly the most sought-after wearable device globally. Elsegood explains that the seventh iteration of Xiaomi’s smart band series continues to impress with its affordable pricing and a plethora of features. Designed for widespread appeal, the Mi Band 7 flaunts notable enhancements over its predecessor, the Band 6, which has seen its debut in China, where Elsegood is based. After a week of navigating the urban landscape with the band on his wrist, he vouches for its dependability and ease of use, underlining the band's new features and attractive price point. Xiaomi has announced that the international launch of the Mi Band 7 is imminent, with a tag of 60 Euros, boasting a more substantial battery, an expanded display, over 100 workout modes, and advanced health tracking functionalities.
The Mi Band 7's aesthetic may not have significantly evolved, but the device’s expanded 1.62-inch screen—up from the former 1.56 inches—makes a discernible difference on such a compact gadget. Elsegood delves into the user interface overhaul tailored to the larger display, featuring enriched visuals, fresh animations, and dynamic icons, all contributing to a more intuitive user experience. Acknowledging its limits as a smart band, Elsegood humorously dismisses the idea of reading e-books on it, despite inquiries from his viewers. Additionally, he expresses a twinge of buyer’s remorse for choosing the stark black model over the more vibrant color options, but he takes solace in the interchangeable bands that allow for easy customization.
The crux of the Mi Band 7's improvements lies in continuous health monitoring, a feature also present in the pricier Mi Band 7 Pro. Where earlier models required manual input to measure heart rate and blood oxygen levels, this can now be set to an automatic mode for all-day tracking. Elsegood shares his findings that while the heart rate monitoring may lag slightly behind real-time data from devices like the Apple Watch Series 7, its accuracy is comparable. He also outlines how the new VO2 max feature can help users gauge and improve their fitness levels, notwithstanding its lack of built-in GPS. For NFC capabilities, he cautions his audience to await specifics on international availability. Stress management and the quirky "find my phone" feature round out the band's new offerings, which Elsegood duly notes in his insightful critique.
