Xiaomi mày Band 5 v mày Band 4: Design
Xiaomi mi Band 4
For those hoping for a dramatically different-looking ngươi Band, that"s not really the case here with the ngươi Band 5.
That"s hardly surprising given xiaomi made big changes for the 4, largely through the addition of a colour touchscreen display. It"s not necessarily a bad thing mi has largely stuck lớn the same look as the 4 was arguably its most polished fitness tracker.
You"re still getting the same polycarbonate tracker & silicone band. While on the mày Band 4 you"d need lớn pop out the tracker to charge it or even change the band, that"s not the case on the 5. A new magnetic charging thiết đặt means you"ll just need to video clip the charging cable it into the back of the tracker.
A touchscreen remains your means of navigating features and viewing data, but the unique has jumped on the new mày Band.
On the mày Band 5, you"re getting a 1.1-inch AMOLED touchscreen display with an 126 x 294 resolution. That"s a jump up in kích cỡ and resolution from the 0.95-inch, 120 x 240 resolution colour AMOLED display featured on the mi Band 4.
Xiaomi has upped screen kích thước with every new mi Band and that trend hasn"t changed. There"s also improvements on the brightness front too. The mày Band 5 now offers 450 nits of brightness compared khổng lồ 400 nits on the mày Band 4.
The mày Band 4 screen was a great performer, particularly when you consider the price. So it looks like it"s only going lớn get better for the 5 in pretty much every way.
Xiaomi ngươi Band 5
In terms of band colours, the ngươi Band 4 comes in black, orange, blue, wine red, and pink. For the new Band, you"re getting a pick of eight colour options including some of the pastel numbers pictured above. So if you care about options, you"re getting more with the new Band. Though it"s not clear if the bands will be interchangeable lượt thích they were on the mày Band 4 (and 3) now that you no longer need khổng lồ remove the tracker to charge it.
Water resistance rating is the same for both trackers, with the protection up lớn 50 metres depth letting you take it in the shower and go for a swim too. Pool swim tracking is supported here too, though we hope performance has improved from our pool time with the ngươi Band 4.
The ngươi Band 5 will come in two models, a standard & NFC model just lượt thích the mày Band 4 did. That NFC mã sản phẩm also adds a microphone to lớn enable voice commands và smart trang chủ control via Xiaomi"s Xiao AIl. Like the NFC edition of the ngươi Band 4, this model looks set khổng lồ be for china only. There have been some rumors that xiaomi mi could be lining up Pro & Lite models, though that is still very much speculation.
Xiaomi mi Band 5 v ngươi Band 4: Fitness tracking features
Xiaomi mày Band 4
So what can these trackers actually track? In terms of sensors you can rely on, both use accelerometer and gyroscope sensors lớn track movement & a proximity sensor for supporting the ability to raise to wake the display.
One additional sensor you"ll find on the mi Band 5 is a barometer as a way of calculating changes in elevation. So, that"s a useful sensor to lớn have if you find yourself climbing a lot of stairs.
There"s a heart rate monitor also on board both mi Bands to lớn offer real-time readings during exercise và on the spot readings. There are some additional uses for the sensor on the ngươi Band 5 that mi claims is now một nửa more accurate than the one on the mày Band 4.
It can now detect abnormalities in heart rate và will also unlock new PAI scores. These are the scores we saw crop up on the Amazfit GTS, a watch that"s built by the very same Huami that makes the mi Band.
This score summarises your weekly activity focusing based heart rate. We found it useful addition to lớn the GTS & it feels lượt thích a more useful insight into your weekly fitness versus step counts.
Xiaomi mi Band 5
You can still count steps & there"s automatic sleep monitoring covered too. On the mi Band 5, xiaomi mi will now indicate REM sleep, which is the part of sleep related to increasing brain activity and promoting learning among other benefits.
Beyond basic fitness tracking, the mày Band has evolved khổng lồ become more useful for more than just steps & sleep. On the mi Band 4, you get six dedicated workout modes, which cover treadmill running, outdoor running, cycling, walking, pool swimming và a general tracking exercise mode.

Taking a leaf out of Apple, Fitbit & Garmin"s book, xiaomi is now adding guided breathing exercises and the ability for women lớn track menstrual cycles from the mi Band 5 too. Something you won"t find on the mi Band 4.
Xiaomi ngươi Band 5 v mi Band 4: Smartwatch features
With the addition of a colour touchscreen display on the mi Band 4, it made more sense for Xiaomi to lớn roll out the kind of features you"d expect khổng lồ find on smartwatches.
On the mi Band 4, you"ve got the ability to lớn view notifications (for Android và i
OS), see weather forecasts, & control music playing from your phone. It also brought 77 themes you can select from the band itself or from the companion app.
You"ll get all of that on the mi Band 5 too and now it"s beefing up themes up with over 100 to lớn choose from. That collection now include animated themes featuring the likes of Sponge
Bob, Evangelion, Hatsune Miku, và Detective Conan. It"s also letting you use the tracker as a remote shutter for your phone"s camera so you can take pictures from afar.
If you manage khổng lồ get hold of the NFC mã sản phẩm of the ngươi Band 5, you"ll be able to use it for door access, paying for transport và it also supports Alipay & Union
Pay payment systems. The ngươi Band 4 NFC edition in comparison offers everything apart from the new Union
Pay support. As already mentioned, these are all relevant and useful if you live in China.
Xiaomi ngươi Band 5 v mi Band 4: Battery life & price
Xiaomi mày Band 5
Xiaomi has managed to improve battery life on every new generation of the ngươi Band. On the 4, it packed in a 110m
Ah capacity battery that it said should deliver 20 days of tracking time. In our testing time, it definitely held up to lớn that.
With the mày Band 5, you"re getting a larger 125m
Ah capacity battery that xiaomi claims should give you the same trăng tròn days. If you opt for the NFC version, that drops to lớn 14 days. It"s hardly surprising it"s less on the NFC version, especially if you make use of the NFC regularly. Ultimately it"s still a good showing on both fronts.
So let"s talk about price. The mày Band 4 came in at . That was just slightly up from the the mi Band 3 came priced in at launch. We don"t have official UK or US pricing, but when you vì the currency conversion, ¥189 for the standard mày Band 5 is around & ¥229 for the mi Band 5 NFC edition is around .
So, xiaomi has still managed to keep things affordable và it"s still cheaper than Fitbit"s most affordable tracker, the Inspire, and sits around the same price as the Samsung Galaxy Fit e.
Initial verdictOn paper, it looks lượt thích Xiaomi is giving you a fair few reasons to make that upgrade. On the hardware front, the screen is better, the charging thiết lập has thankfully been improved and the heart rate monitor tech has been improved too.
With the software, it"s nice khổng lồ see women"s health tracking is now included and the PAI Health scores brings more value to lớn your activity tracking. Those animated watch faces look good fun as well.
That"s not lớn say its arrival makes the mày Band 4 immediately redundant. It"s still a solid tracker in our eyes and made a lot of big improvements on the mày Band 3 lớn rightfully earn a 4 out of 5 score. That"s the highest we"ve ever scored a mày Band.
As pricing is very similar, it seems like no brainer to lớn go new mi Band & get those new features on your wrist instead.
