Xiaomi also maintains the usual high level in terms of build quality. The shape and material are therefore familiar: This means that the replaceable wristband is still made of plastic (TPU), while the display is protected from scratches by 2.5D glass. That's good, Xiaomi!Īesthetically, almost nothing has changed. In addition, the resolution increases adequately, there is always-on functionality, and the display is also a bit brighter. Once again, Xiaomi enlarges the Smart Band 7's display. For everyone else who is interested, the Smart Band 7 is an absolute bank-just like we are used to from Xiaomi every year. Nevertheless, I believe that Mi Band 6 owners can safely wait for the next model. With permanent SpO2 monitoring, further improvements of the existing features and the increase of the sports modes to now over 120, Xiaomi has kicked things up a notch functionally. Nevertheless, the Smart Band 7 is a top device that not only satisfies would-be athletes like me, but also the more demanding ones among you. Xiaomi now charges a hefty 60 Euros for the fitness wristband beyond the early-bird price, which is a bit over the top in my opinion.

New features, a larger AMOLED screen and a thicker battery are all well and good - but I would really like to see NFC, GPS and, best of all, wireless charging on my trusted Mi or Smart Band. However, it still leaves a somewhat stale aftertaste.

Xiaomi makes a very good fitness tracker just a little bit better.
