The Mi Smart Band 5's screen is bright, colorful, responsive and crucially, easy to view in bright sunlight. The result is a display that pretty much wipes the floor with the competition.Ĭompare it to what you get on Fitbit or Samsung’s cheapest fitness trackers, and there’s no contest. Xiaomi has also upped things in the brightness department, cranking up the max to 450 nits. Xiaomi uses a 1.1-inch, 126 x 294 resolution AMOLED touchscreen, which is a bump up in size and resolution on the 0.95, 120 x 240 resolution screen on the Mi Band 4.


It’s the display that really elevates this tracker above the competition, though. It’s a bit of plain in terms of design, and less stylish than Fitbit's trackers, but it feels well built and nowhere as 'cheap' as some trackers at this price point. It still pairs up a similar-looking tracker module with a TPU plastic strap that comes in six different colors (compared to eight for the Chinese version). DesignĪt first glance, the Mi Smart Band 5 at first glance doesn’t look all that different from the Xiaomi Mi Band 4. The price excludes delivery and any import fees or taxes.
MI FIT BAND MANUAL INSTALL
You will get the Chinese version but if you install the Mi Fit application, update the firmware and sync the band, you will be able to change the language from Chinese to English. If you are not fussed about using it only in English, then it can be had for as little as $29.99 from Gearbest. The Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 5 launched on July 16 2020, and is priced at $50 / £29.99 / AU$99.95. Xiaomi’s goal is to offer the kind of features you’d expect to find on pricier trackers, and it’s fair to say it successfully achieves that on the whole.
