Without changing its design, the Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 6 gains in readability thanks to its larger screen. Even more complete with its SpO2 sensor, it delivers sufficiently convincing general performance for classic activity monitoring and occasional sport. On the other hand, regular athletes will always go their way, in particular because of the lack of precision of their heart rate monitor.
Strong points
- Big autonomy.
- Good quality AMOLED screen.
- Light and discreet.
- SpO2 sensor for analysis of respiration during sleep.
Weak points
- Inaccurate heart rate monitor.
- Basic design.

The Xiaomi Mi Band 5 does not revolutionize Xiaomi’s range of low-cost connected bracelets, but it does bring some significant improvements. This is the case of the magnetic system which allows the sensor to be recharged without disconnecting it from the bracelet. The Mi Smart Band 5 also offers some new features (remote camera triggering, menstrual tracking, etc.) and an improved screen. Unfortunately, it is still not a very convincing bracelet for the practice of intensive sport, mainly due to its basic heart rate monitor. Joggers, cyclists or occasional swimmers will find their account, but not those who practice regular activities and require great precision.
