Xiaomi Mi Band 3 Review: A budget friendly smart wearable

Most people know Xiaomi as a manufacturer of smartphones. Ever since the Xiaomi Mi Band 2, many now know Xiaomi also as a manufacturer of fitness trackers. The selling strategy of the Mi Band series is simple, give users the functions they really need and offer them at an unbeatable price. Even in the fourth generation and four years after the Mi Band 1, the Mi Band 3 keeps all the promises made by its predecessors.

Mi Band 3 from Xiaomi has enough features to satisfy all your needs. Rather be it a Smartband, fitness tracker or smartwatch.

Let's have a look to all its specs and features:

Design and Display:

The design has remained the same as its predecessors. The Mi Band 3 consists of two parts, a band and the actual tracker. The 0.78 inch display is almost twice the size of the Mi Band 2, now has a resolution of 128 x 80 pixels, and is still a monochrome OLED panel. The ability to receive touch inputs is new on the Mi Band 3. The colored button has been replaced by a touch sensitive 'dent' in the glass.

 

Features:

On the Mi Band 3, you can swipe really quickly through the menu, which consists of six levels. You can also adjust the order of the menu items to your choosing. The functions are manageable: it shows steps, distance covered, calories burned, heart rate via an optical sensor, weather forecasts, notifications and more. The water resistance is 5 ATM, which is approx. 50 meters of diving depth. That is amazing for a fitness tracker of this price category.

Battery Life:

The battery is not very large at 110 mAh, but according to Xiaomi, it should definitely be sufficient to achieve a maximum battery life of up to 20 days. If you use the Mi Band 3 for notifications, the clock, and pedometer, then its possible to charge the battery once a week.

Price:

The reason why Xiaomi Mi Band 3 is getting so much attention is it's incredibly low price tag. Mi Band 3 is available in Pakistan for around Rs 4,000.

Final Verdict:

If you need a simple band thats easy to use, looks good on wrist, has a long battery life and serves as an extension of your smartphone, you can grab the Mi Band 3 without thinking twice!
