The appearance of the Xiaomi Band 7 formerly again animates an formerly veritably changing request. Exertion trackers are a great product for millions of druggies and athletes, and it’s a good time to recap and review what are the stylish current proffers.
That is what we try to do in this review of the great features of both the Xiaomi Band 7 and its main challengers. There’s everything and for everyone, so the stylish thing we can do is get started.
In this comparison we wanted to include the following models that have been appearing in recent months. There are of course several further druthers, but we wanted to put that face to face with more recent models
* Xiaomi Band 7
* Fitbit Charge 5
* Garmin Vivosmart 5
* Amazfit Band 5
* Huawei Band 6
* Realme Band 2
* Oppo Band
Irons do not play too important in design.
In this member there are numerous parallels between some proffers and others, and of course one of them is in the design of these products, which is grounded on a screen with a thin and elongated format- to separate itself from smartwatches- that defines the rest of the device.
In fact, the proffers then are relatively analogous, although there are some further noticeably substantial and heavy than others. Therefore, we don’t find too conspicuous differences, although it’s true that in terms of lightness the Xiaomi Band 7 with its13.5 grams is presently one of the lightest only the Oppo Band surpasses it.
In those designs with stretched defenses, it’s also common to use rubber strips that are typically exchangeable since in numerous cases the screen in turn encloses all the electronics outside.
AMOLED defenses that want to show further (little by little)
The offerings made by the first models were especially conspicuous on the defenses, but in recent generations AMOLED defenses have raised a bet that in several cases is affordable- it isn’t in others- and that offers excellence for the dominance of blacks in the stoner interface.
Then it’s true that there’s a tendency to grow. The Xiaomi Band 7 is a good illustration of this, and it’s the cuff with the largest screen of all models compared. That’s also noted in the resolution, and that benefits the capability to show further information about the exertion at all times.
Detectors and sports modes
The Xiaomi cuff and the Realme Band 2 are the most outstanding in terms of support for sports modes 120 and 90 modes independently that make clear the capability of these bias to accompany us in a lot of conditioning.
All of them, by the way, are submersible and we can put them in the shower, in the pool or in the ocean. It’s precisely in these last two scripts that we will also be suitable to track swimming conditioning.
The parallels are also notable in terms of the presence of detectors, but then the Fitbit and Garmin irons offer indeed more performance and that justifies their prices to some extent, much advanced than the rest of the models.
On battery, it’s also important to have a larger screen that can also give room for initiative in this parameter. Then it’s conspicuous that the confines are generally veritably identified with that capacity.
Some manufacturers don’t specify the volume and only reveal estimates of days of autonomy, but what’s clear is that the Xiaomi Band 7 is one of the highlights in this aspect as well.
Price no scares except in two exceptional cases
One of the great lodestones of quantifying irons is their price, significantly lower than that of smartwatches that go further in performance but that can also shoot in cost.
In the request for quantifying irons, a price of around 30- 40 euros is generally maintained for numerous models, and the Xiaomi Band 7 is no exception, at least if we look at its launch in China.
It’s in fact the range in which nearly all its challengers move, but there are two anomalies then both the Fitbit Charge 5 and the Garmin Vívosmart 5 far exceed that figure and stand at 174 and 150 euros independently.
Then the presence of further detectors is the main reason, but those prices also make us wonder if a smartwatch won’t be better proposed at that point.
Conclusions the Xiaomi Band 7 has ballots to remain an absolute reference
On paper, of course, Xiaomi’s offer is one of the most promising we still don’t know when it’ll be retailed in Spain and at what price it will, but it doesn’t feel crazy to suppose that it’ll do so in the price range of its precursor, which bring44.99 euros when it arrived then.

Still, we will really be faced with a offer with numerous guarantees to continue to be a reference in this member, If it remains at that position. Its new’ Always- on’ screen is further than enough to gain fashionability, but there are other lodestones.
Among them is the interpretation with NFC connectivity- which will presumably be kindly more precious- and although it doesn’t have GPS, the capacity of its battery and that support of over to 120 different sports modes are aspects that stand out from its competition. Effects are encouraged, and although there are notable rivals, the Xiaomi Band 7 pledge to be veritably popular.
