Xiaomi Smart Band 8
- Brighter AMOLED panel, with adaptive power
- New look for new uses (Necklace and Running Clip)
- Long battery life and fast charging
- Still very attractive price
- Still no GPS or NFC…
- Cardiac sensor accuracy
An ever brighter and more fluid AMOLED screen
The quality of the screen is certainly what most characterizes the Xiaomi Smart Band 8. Its maximum brightness of 600 nits ensures optimal readability, even in broad daylight with bright sunlight. In addition, the refresh rate reaches 60 Hz, for a smooth experience. Whether for sport or simply as a utility item on the wrist, the Xiaomi connected bracelet is very practical.
How does the Xiaomi Smart Band 8 compare to its competitors in the same price range?
Design and finishes | Screen | Sports and health functions | Utility functions | Autonomy | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Xiaomi Smart Band 8 | 9 | 10 | 8 | 2 | 10 |
Honor Band 7 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 2 | 8 |
These two connected bracelets clearly play in the same league. Their reasonable price is what characterizes them the most. But compared to Xiaomi, the Honor model systematically finds itself a notch behind. The autonomy is certainly good, but inferior to the Smart Band 8. Above all, the screen is less interesting. It shares AMOLED technology, but is less fluid and less bright. You will have understood, our heart swings more towards the Xiaomi model.
Xiaomi, a reference for accessible connected bracelets
As the name suggests, Xiaomi Smart Band 8 is not the first in the series. Since the Mi Band released in 2015, significant progress has been made. The connected bracelet has gained in autonomy (already excellent at the time) and has been equipped with more complete features, particularly for sport. Compared to its big brother, the Smart Band 7, Xiaomi offers us a brighter and more fluid AMOLED screen, from 50 Hz to 60 Hz. All with a price positioning that does not change!
