Mi Band 8 Full Specifications, Features and Prices

Mi Band 8 Full Specifications – In their regular tradition, Xiaomi has released the Mi Band 8 in China. The new smartband succeeds Mi Band 7, and for the first time, it has a refined design that sets it apart as a true smartband just in the leagues of Inspire 3 from Fitbit. The Mi Band 8 is a fitness-focused smartband with 1.62 inches AMOLED display, a metallic frame, and up to 16 days of battery life. Despite the more refined build and features, the Mi Band 8 retails for CYN 240 which is equivalent to about $35.

The Mi Band 8 has a whole new look that consists of a metallic frame and straps that are available in different materials. It’s available in black and light-gold colors but comes in different forms which include a pendant model that can be worn as a necklace. It also comes in a classic form that ships with leather straps or a very stylish form that consists of leather/metal bracelet straps. The basic forms come with silicone straps.

Xiaomi has also taken runners into consideration as the Mi Band 8 can be attached to your shoes, this will allow it to gather data more accurately. The pendant model as well as the models that come with leather and metallic straps are priced higher than the basic models.

Another big addition to the Mi Band 8 is the redesigned straps. For the first time, straps can easily be detached. This is unlike previous models where you have the straps encircling the band. Now the band is totally free.

The Mi Band 8 will track your heart rate, sleep, stress, blood oxygen, steps and calories. It also features over 150 sports modes and can auto-track 7 exercises. It lacks inbuilt GPS, but can still map your routes when you carry your phone along during an outdoor workout.

Like Mi Band 7, Mi Band 8 will alert you when you receive a notification on your phone. It also features the ability to reply to messages with the quick reply function.
