The Xiaomi Mi Band 3 is official. Will it be able to impress with a price as hard to beat as its predecessor? The Chinese brand doesn’t deviate much from a winning recipe, and the new smart band is quite a promising prospect.
1. Design
The Mi Band 2 has been a great success for its simplicity and its difficult price to beat. On the design side there are no big surprises: the Mi Band 3 is slightly larger and can be considered an improved version of its predecessor but continues to adopt a removable rubber strap and a button on the front.
2. Display
What makes the difference and catches the eye right away is the 0.78 inch OLED screen with 128×80 pixel resolution. This is a capacitive display that allows you to manage notifications and messages and, above all, allows you to navigate the menu using gestures.
3. Battery
To use NFC you must opt for the dedicated variant. The Mi Band 3 incorporates a 110mAh battery that promises to last 20 days.
4. Features
Among the other features offered by the Mi Band 3 we find the support to Bluetooth 4.2 LE and the certification of impermeability that allows you to use it at a maximum depth of 50 meters. The display will also be a place where you can view smartwatch-like features, like messages, notifications, Caller ID, 3-day weather forecasts and alarm clocks, which can be turned off from the touchscreen. You can expect it to feature the same raise-to-wake feature that will let you quickly glance at your progress during the day and it’ll also have the ability to unlock Android phones, although it’s not clear which phones will support this feature. There’s also data from the onboard heart rate monitor and you’ll get inactivity reminders when you need to get up off your butt and do something active. Sleep monitoring is on board.
