I'm using my band 4 till this date. Bought that back in 2019 and still I get 10-15 days of backup with sleep monitoring on, heart rate monitoring off. Changed the strap 9 times in the span of last 5 years. Xiaomi's band lineup has to be the second best product after their redmi note series smartphones.
Exactly the same as you only I cannot remember how many times I changed the strap ... I have to change it right now and I'm considering a upgrade to the 8th ..
@@seize2179 then dont change it because honestly, i only use mine to have the alarm in the morning and the calls notifications. You are excited the 2 first days and then stop using it lol
In my opinion, I do not see such significant improvements beyond different materials and textures, vibration motor (which for me were already good enough in previous generations), and an improvement in the processor, which even so I do not think is used more than with simple apps or the fluidity of 60hz. For me it would be a great advance when NFC can be used GLOBALLY without having to use or be limited to a type of Bank or that it is not only available in China, capable of some other simple GPS option without depending on the phone. Also be able to respond to text messages from any messaging app (something that the Mi Band 7 had but I don't know why it was removed in the next generation) and have a kind of integrated voice assistant or one that has integration with the phone. I know that the most advanced smartwatches with WearOS or those from Apple are already there for that, but the price does not compare with the Mi Band so it would be nice to have those functions in a cheaper device that does not need more advanced functions.
Finally the day has come that the Mi Band has a nice haptic motor instead of the buzzer!! This will be an instant buy when it becomes global! And also the wet hands thing is going to be great for when a notification comes when showering! Honestly this feels like the best mi band upgrade ever for me because these were the annoyances I always had.
Hello! I'm very interested in Mi Band, and now that is available Mi Band 9 I'll buy it now that it is available. But I have an important question before the buy, how's going with IOS? The last one has some issues with the notifications, would you happen to know something about it?
When will it be released globally? Do you have any information? I’m in Europe, and I’m excited to buy the new ceramic version. I hope it will be released here too.
very late this year, they presented a new version of the mi band. The eighth version was shown in March or April last year. I'm afraid that the ninth version will not come to Europe so quickly.
@@Sardar.Asad77 There is no such information anywhere about when a new version of Mi Band 9 will be released. Usually it was 2-3 months after the premiere of the Chinese version. Recently, the global version of Mi Band 8 was released 6 months after the Chinese premiere.
What I'm wondering is how the activity tracking is working! I hated the 8th generation because of its terrible Vitality scores that were extremely demoralising. Prefered tha PAI-system of the 7th generation. How is this working with the 9th generation?
bought this for my wife. looks good and nice display. what I'm missing (coming from amazfit gtr 4) is zepp user stats comparison and more detailed health tracking in app. also there's no app store in this so you're at mercy of xiaomi for updates and new features. but overall good watch for cheap price
@@lukas______ but if you are using the countdown you can’t use other functions.if you are using the timer,you can you can use other functions while the timer is still working.sorry,my English is poor,hoping you can understanding me ☺️☺️
I ordered the Mi Band 9 NFC from the store linked in Description but i did not get any email about the Purchase. Is this normal? Can I trust this shop?

If only it shiped in the EU ! Sadly, I never found how to get, so I had to settle on the standard version.
Plsss xiaomi launch it in India plsss....im tired of all those rectangular and round shaped cheap smartwatches....it will be a refreshing comeback to indian market❤
4:08 Yeah there's no app closing animation on the 8, I was baffled when I saw it cause there IS a closing app animation already on my Mi band 6... Btw this band 9 looks great, it really is a a shame they didn't bring the NFC version to EU. That would have been the final reason to upgrade, but now I'm skipping again 😢
Less susceptible to scratches, and bumps shouldn't break it still. So it will probably be more durable in regular use, compared to before, as it won't scratch that easily, but if you hit it hard enough, it might shatter, while aluminum would just bend.
Not a significant upgrade over the 8. I have had the 4, 6, 7 and now the 8. The 8 is OK but will only work with Mi Fitness which is not as good as Zepp Life. Also, the vitality score does not function properly. X|iaomi know this but have not fixed it. The next Mi Band needs built in GPS or maybe even onboard MP3 and the ability to connect to bluetooth headphones.
Does Huawei have any consumer-grade 3D graphics accelerators, or do gamers in China just use Nvidia? I read that Huawei has some amazing AI chips, just never heard of them in graphics.
Depend on what u looking for, if u need a tracking band, hw will absolutely win, but everything else the mi band is on same page and the software running on this is arguably better than the software in the hw band
@@Dangg1589 i saw on a website and it says it can make payments. They were selling it with nfc and without nfc too. I wonder if u have tested one or not

True, I am using Mi Bands since Mi Band 3 launched. In my opinion They are better than Expensive Fitbit Bands. Waiting for Mi band 9 Global Launch.
same. satisfied already with 4th Gen but the adhessive worn out...
Xiaomi Smart Band has improvements every 3rd generation so obviously this version will the best one
Upgraded to Band 9 from Band 8 and to be honest - exactly the same. You won't notice those small changes, nor 16% HR sensor improvement
Glad to hear. I've just purchased my Band 8 online for 25 USD and was wondering if i should have waited
Been thinking about going from the band 4 to this but I just love the battery on this little thing. I practically forget about it for weeks

The addition of Linear Motor is a smart move, I was planning to buy band 8 now I guess I'll wait for the band 9.

Me too. The buzzer was crap
Does it support Strava app integration?
That linear motor would make this a great alarm band!!
Does anyone know if it vibrates upon timer completion?
@@lukas______ it does

The withe xiaomi band 9 looks gorgeous
Even bezels when? It's already the 9th generation come on man. Make the price a bit more expensive in order for that
fr I really want even bezels would look so good
Are guys selling US compatible Mi Band 9 on your website?
If I buy chinese version,is it better than global?Some functions work,example motion joypad for nintendo,nfc ....
No even if you buy the Chinese version the nfc won't work
does the ceramic version have a microphone?
Does it Available in India???
Does it measure vo2 max?
Does it have alexa too??? Or is the linear motor like the taptic engine with the vibration???
This is the Chinese version, we wouldn't be able to test if Alexa is available. And for the vibration, simply put, it is much better, very intuitive.
I want to purchase this. How I get in india
When will it be released globally? Do you have any information? I’m in Europe, and I’m excited to buy the new ceramic version. I hope it will be released here too.

How accurate is the stepcounter?
Not much accuracy there, someone told me it counted some steps for him while sleeping.
Great review. Short and sweet to the point. Thanks for also mentioning what features were not available on the previous band.

How are the stepcounter? I here that it was not so good on the 8 how is it on the 9 ?
Yes that's the same for both.
Can I use NFC to make payment?
Im trying to find an answer for that too
Only in china
Have they fixed the bug where the band doesn't automatically sync the data with the phone?
Can an enabled timer be minimized?
i tested it ,it can.i bought miband6 in2021 it could not then.but now 9 can do this.i am in china 9 has been sold since july 19 😊😊

When will xiaomi launch band 9 pro? I'm waiting for that!!
GPS?
I hope Xiaomi put signal alert hourly like Casio watch. Bep sound or vibration.
I like the new battery and ceramic color, but as long there's not a pro version with GPS (or add it to regular, I don't care), I'm not interested
should i upgrade 7 to 9?😊😊
Gen 8 is a good upgrade, but of course it‘s better to upgrade to Gen 9.
Maybe should try practical Ui development, that's reliable and easily accessible
Is Xiaomi Smart Band 8 Running Clip compatible?
I think yes
Is nfc works in europe?
tactical dot
NFC???
size keeps increasing but those bezels remain thicc AF.
How to get this band ship to india?
Plsss xiaomi launch it in India plsss....im tired of all those rectangular and round shaped cheap smartwatches....it will be a refreshing comeback to indian market❤
Include gps??
No
I don't think so
I'm done with the Miband series since Xiaomi deceided to ditch NFC on the global version after the successful Miband 6
After version 7(I have version 7 with global Nfc function).
4:08
Yeah there's no app closing animation on the 8, I was baffled when I saw it cause there IS a closing app animation already on my Mi band 6...

Can I buy it from india by geekwills
Please send an email to Geekwills about it, thanks!
Does anyone know if it vibrates upon timer completion?
Old one does, so this should too
will you review the vivo s19/s19 pro?
they need to change the strap design lol the loop always break
still, no GPS.
Wouldn't the ceramic version be more susceptible to breakage than aluminum?

So it will probably be more durable in regular use, compared to before, as it won't scratch that easily, but if you hit it hard enough, it might shatter, while aluminum would just bend.
Needs GPS
When will he come to Türkiye?
The only issue is that its non summeric. Id rather take a little smaller display than non symmetrical display 😢

or, to keep price level low, should only improve heart rate sensors would be a good idea

Your question has nothing to do with the video
@@Mautifko It's more of a channel thing. I'm not into smartwatches.
still using band 4, and band 8 pro.
9? Didn't 8 just come out?
8 came out last year.
Wonder if sleep tracking has been improved, since Xiaomi was always worst in class.
Also do comparison versus the pro version band 8 pro
I want to upgrade from Band 8
I bought it but can't pair 😢
Blackshark smart ring whennn..
So bored I'm watching reviews of what I don't plan to buy at 4:30am. Love my fitbit inspire 3
Xiaomi smart bands only get better every 3 generations or so
I can't believe they gave a thick bottom bezel at the bottom!
Where else would they place a "thick bottom bezel"?
yeah, they should put thick bottom bezel at the top right ? to give symmetrical look
Purchased from the site. No confirmation no communication at all. Seems like a scam website to me.
When they are going to launch in India 😅
