This video is so cool and can help me decide which one to buy. Because Mi Band 8 pro has been released a global ver few days ago while I was thinking about getting Band 8. So, I’ve decided to but Band 8 normal one because I think it would be small and comfort when I use it in the gym and running. Built-in GPS is not really important for me cause I always take my iPhone all the time (honestly, I like to run in treadmills instead) but I would be useful if I use it for trekking. BTW it’s not so important and worth its cost. So Band 8 is enough for me. Thank you for your review. P.S. I’ll use it until Apple Watch battery is long lasting for more than 7 days then I will buy Apple Watch.
Me again... For your band 8 pro xiaomi home app say "you can set commands for this scenario in the mi home" , and for me displays an error and I have the app on my phone... I don't know how to make it work, because smal number of people has it ... to bad for me.
I'm interested to see how the NFC and voice assistant will work in the global version. Unfortunately, these features are useless in the Chinese version outside of China.
Thank you for a great review! Tell a few words about vibro quality on Mi Band 8. I currently have Band 6 and the vibro is loud and buzzing, is it the same on 8?
im currently using the redmi watch 2, I'm planning to get this smart band 8. I cant get the pro one because we don't have it in my country. these two are my options, Amazfit Bip 3 Pro and Xiaomi Smart Band 8.. Can you suggest me what will have the better value in money? I'm just using it for Phone notifications and controlling the music, i would really appreciate a suggestions.
I think the advantages of the Amazfit Bip 3 Pro are a big screen and a built-in GPS. However, if you only need it for notifications and music control, then Xiaomi Smart Band 8 is also good.
@@TechBrothersReviewsI choose the mb8 as well. I already bought it (global) actually. I like that it's curved and can be worn as a necklace. Necklace + pebble + AOD of your animated choice (using custom animations) is a win
Hello I'm thinking of purchasing the Xiaomi 8 Smartband Pro.. my question to you is have you been able to pair it with the Xiaomi mi fitness app?? I've seen where some people are having issues because the app doesn't recognize this watch as of yet??? Thank you for your review!!
Hello. If you have a Chinese version of Xiaomi Smart Band 8 Pro, then you need to select China region in the Xiaomi Mi Fitness app, and then the bracelet will be recognized.
You cannot take or reject phone calls on Mi Band 8, because it doesn't have a microphone and speaker. However, you can see the notifications of the incoming call on the fitness bracelet.
@@TechBrothersReviewsyou can reject phone calls and also you can sent a reject message to be sent to the caller you have already reject. Keep looking and try to be professional
Great video! Should I wait for the global version or just get the Chinese one? And in general what's the differences between the Chinese version and global? Mi band 7 pro for example.
The global version of the Xiaomi Smart Band 8 Pro will probably have a voice assistant in English. I am not sure it will support NFC contancless payment. I think the other functions will be the same as the Chinese version.
I have a problem in time display on band 8 pro, it is one hour ahead than my smartphone ( techno spark) and i can't fix it 😭 do you have a real solution for it?? 5:00
You can buy a special Running Clip for the Xiaomi Band 8, and clip it onto your shoe laces. After that, enter the Pebble mode from the band or Mi Fitness app, and it will track stride frequency, stride length, impact force and impact style, making it easy to adjust your running form in real time.
Im using the mi band 8 & sometimes i dont want to bring my smartphone whenever im outrunning for the GPS function. No im gonna wait for the mi band 9 pro. But overall mi band 8 is pretty decent for the tracking functionality & it's price.
Must i constantly connecting to Bluetooth with my phone? I have a smart band 8 active which requires this.. otherwise, the band is not really functioning 😢
I would just like to mention that the xiaomi mi band 8 may be inaccurate to the pro as people don’t wear the band correctly. You are meant to wear the band 1.5-2 cm away from your wristbone in your non-dominant hand. I compared it to an Apple watch and the heart rate was same.
@@TechBrothersReviews 1. Large screen with much more necessary data. 2. Larger notification font. 3. GPS. 4. More variety of convenient watch faces. 5. Sidebar. And the list can be supplemented.
In my Mi band 8 pro, the voice assistant is not working.Just showing " connection timed out. Please try again" in Chinese. In the app also under Mi AI option it has an error. Can you solve this problem?
@@TechBrothersReviews and u sure that might band is good because I have a HUAWEI band 7 like is any other brands good like redmi bands or other bands or mi is the greatest of them all please answer sir or also like tell me a good watch like 1 which has RUclips and games and is kidda cheap because I have HUAWEI band 7 so I don’t think a other bands are good option so can u tell me a good watch like 1 that connects to iOS also like watch 4 Samsung not that good it onky connect to Samsung can u tell me a watch is kidda cheap and also has RUclips and games
It's the same thing. Xiaomi has removed the Mi from the names of new products. I don't know why many people still call the fitness bracelets Mi Band 8 or Mi Band 8 Pro.
Band 8 40€ and the pro will probably cost 100€, so I will go for the normal one, but I will wait and see. A different question, is the band 8 active step counter as good as the normal band 8 one? That's the most important feature for a friend and he doesn't see a need to pay more if the step counter is the same.
Xiaomi band 8 pro China I've been using it for about two weeks. Good point · convenient automatic brightness adjustment of the screen, The screen is 600 nits bright, so it's easy to see outside. The screen is slimy at 60hz. Five satellites are equipped with GPS. Worrisome point · the gap between heart rate and spo2 values is severe. Sleep Numbers often don't match. It's hard to notice because the multiplication is weak. The Mi Fitness app on the smartphone side is too sloppy. Xiaomi products are well made from the outside, but the accuracy and the app on the smartphone side are too messy, so it is not suitable for health management.

Изначально хотел сравнение на русском найти, но нашёл это видео и всё и так понял, спасибо :)
Thank you for this video, Honestly I prefer the Band 8 standard because the form factor is so smooth and comfortable, and it is also cheaper.
Thank you for watching. I like the form factor of the Smart Band 8 better too, but the GPS in the Pro model is a useful feature.
Can u make video about smartwatch with gps and cheap for runners?🙏🏼
That's a good idea. We'll think about it.
I'm interested to see how the NFC and voice assistant will work in the global version. Unfortunately, these features are useless in the Chinese version outside of China.
Yeah, I'm interested in that too. Waiting for the global release.
@@TechBrothersReviewspro 7 global didn't come w nfc if I remmebr correctly. Probably they'll do the same again :((
Can 8 pro sync few days? Or it has to be synced every day like 7 pro?
Thank you for a great review! Tell a few words about vibro quality on Mi Band 8. I currently have Band 6 and the vibro is loud and buzzing, is it the same on 8?
Thank you for watching! I'm fine with the vibration on the Mi Band 8 bracelet.
Thank you very much, so useful
Thank you for watching!
Thanks for video! I was wondering if the xiaomi 8 pro has the games that the 8 version has
Thanks for your comment! Unfortunately, I don't have the Xiaomi Bad 8 Pro anymore, so I can't check that now.

I'm still choosing the Xiaomi Smart Band 8

@@TechBrothersReviewsgreat breakdown, btw. And you even did pushups 💪🏻
Me too band 8 rather than the pro
Where to buy it?
Can I control the music when is some sport mode on or when I'm using stopwatch? Thank you
You can use it on sport modes
Very good and informative video
Do you maybe now how can I get QR code of band 8 pro on the screen?
Wow, I didn't even think these bracelets were so similar. They only differ in screen size and GPS, right?
Screen size, GPS, NFC cards and voice assistant are the main differences. However, NFC and voice assistant are useless outside of China.
can you make phone call from 8 pro???

Very good explanation boss. I love it
Thank you!
Can band bro pair with zepp life
Pair Xiaomi Band 8/8Pro with Zepp Life (formerly MiFit)
Does the 8 pro comes with swimming mode?
To be honest, I don't remember.
Does any of them can track daytime sleep as regular sleep and not as nap?
They track daytime sleep as nap
Accuracy of Spo2 on each? How many readings per minute?
Bro never use a watch to check your Spo2. It is there for estimate number not exact number.
What is the 'pebble mode'?
You can buy a special Running Clip for the Xiaomi Band 8, and clip it onto your shoe laces. After that, enter the Pebble mode from the band or Mi Fitness app, and it will track stride frequency, stride length, impact force and impact style, making it easy to adjust your running form in real time.

I think I'm wearing the bracelets right at 10:00. I don't have an Apple Watch, but the Xiaomi fitness bands show about the same bpm.
What's up skid Marks
I've been using mi band 8 for two months and switched to mi band 8 pro yesterday. The advantages of the mi band 8 pro are undeniable.
What are the advantages for you?
@@TechBrothersReviews 1. Large screen with much more necessary data.
2. Larger notification font.
3. GPS.
4. More variety of convenient watch faces.
5. Sidebar.
And the list can be supplemented.
Can the pro add Visa debit card?
No, you can't do that.
Which will be the price of 8 pro?
Xiaomi Smart Band 8 Pro is already on sale for the price of about $56. However, this is a Chinese version.
In my Mi band 8 pro, the voice assistant is not working.Just showing " connection timed out. Please try again" in Chinese. In the app also under Mi AI option it has an error. Can you solve this problem?
I think the voice assistant only works in China.
Is mi band 8 pro has Blood pressure?
It has spO2 sensor.
When will be the global version of Smart Band 8 Pro?
I don't know.
To compare which mi band is better?? Tech brother….

How change time to my zone ...I'm in the USA is one hour different
Did you pair the bracelet to your smartphone? The time on the bracelet should be the same as on the smartphone.
What are the differences between Xiaomi Smart Band 8/8 Pro and Xiaomi Mi Band 8/8Pro?
It's the same thing. Xiaomi has removed the Mi from the names of new products. I don't know why many people still call the fitness bracelets Mi Band 8 or Mi Band 8 Pro.
Forgot to compare the battery life bro
Band 8 40€ and the pro will probably cost 100€, so I will go for the normal one, but I will wait and see.

That's the most important feature for a friend and he doesn't see a need to pay more if the step counter is the same.
We already have the Band 8 Active, and we'll try to do a video about it next week. We'll compare the steps on the Band 8, and Band 8 Active.

Are you living in China?

Good point · convenient automatic brightness adjustment of the screen,

Five satellites are equipped with GPS.
Worrisome point · the gap between heart rate and spo2 values is severe.
Sleep Numbers often don't match.
It's hard to notice because the multiplication is weak.
The Mi Fitness app on the smartphone side is too sloppy.
