Xiaomi Mi Band 7 Vs. Mi Band 6: What’s New?

The striking difference between the Mi Band 7 and Mi Band 6 is the size. Xiaomi has bumped up the AMOLED screen of the new model from 1.56 inches to 1.62 inches. The resolution has been increased too, but it still has the same 326 PPI. It also gets a boost in brightness from 450 nits to 500 nits. However, the biggest upgrade fans of the series should be excited about is support for AOD (Always-on Display). There are more than 100 watch faces to choose from, an increase from the 60+ of the Mi Band 6.
While both fitness trackers have support for 24/7 heart rate measurement and blood oxygen saturation measurement, Xiaomi says the Mi Band 7 features an improved sensor. The new fitness tracker has also gained the ability to notify users via vibration when their blood oxygen level falls below 90. Supported exercises have also increased from just 30 on the Mi Band 6 to 120 on the new fitness tracker. The Mi Band 7 now comes with Bluetooth 5.2 (BLE) and this should result in better connectivity. Xiaomi has raised the Android OS requirement from Android 5.0 to Android 6.0, but keeps the Apple device support requirement at iOS 10.0.

It is not surprising that the Mi Band 7 now packs a bigger battery capacity—180mAh over the 125mAh battery of the Mi Band 6. This translates to 15 days of use in normal mode and up to 9 days in heavy usage mode. In contrast, the Mi Band 6 lasted up to 14 days in normal mode and 5 days in heavy usage mode. Nevertheless, both fitness trackers surpass the 7-day battery life of the Garmin Vivosmart 5. Thankfully, the magnetic charger seems to have remained unchanged. The Mi Band 7 is available only in China for now, and it is priced at ¥249 (~$37) for the standard version and ¥299 (~$45) for the NFC version. Like the previous models, Xiaomi is expected to announce a global version that will most likely be sold as the Mi Smart Band 7.
