Mi band 8 Pro evaluation： it can be used as a gamepad and a remote control.

First, preface: keep up with the watch Xiaomi brings a more professional and comprehensive new bracelet.

With the growth of modern people’s demand for exercise and health monitoring, the shape of smart bracelet is becoming more and more perfect. From the original only counting steps and monitoring sleep, to the current all-weather monitoring of motion recognition, blood oxygen and heart rate, it can be functionally aligned with watches.

I thought that mi band 7 Pro had surpassed the ceiling of graduation work, and it was difficult to make further breakthrough. But I didn’t expect that the mi band 8 Pro brought this time directly pierced the ceiling of the bracelet, which brought us different surprises.

After all, the development of the bracelet has been very comprehensive, and it is necessary to tap more functions of the bracelet and meet more usage scenarios for users, fearing that many brain cells of the siege lions will be burned.

Fast Technology has got this newly released mi band 8 Pro. Let’s see what’s unique about it.

Compared with the previous generation of mi band 7 Pro, mi band 8 Pro has brought a bigger screen and higher brightness, and at the same time, the professionalism in sports and health has also improved.

1. Larger screen and dual-channel monitoring module for the first time.

Mi band 8 Pro has increased the screen size to 1.74 inches and the brightness to 600nits. With larger size and higher brightness, you can clearly watch the contents displayed on the bracelet outdoors.

It also added a dual-channel sign sensor for the first time, which brought more accurate monitoring ability of heart rate, blood oxygen and heart rate.

It is much more friendly for users with tattoos, heavy hair and dark skin, because the accuracy of general watches is greatly reduced when they encounter such situations.

The dual-channel monitoring module brought this time can prevent signal loss and noise caused by loose fitting, and the monitoring effect is more accurate than that of single channel.

2. The sports function goes further, and entertainment majors coexist.

Fitness needs perseverance, and this process is rather boring. mi band 8 Pro has brought many entertainment improvements on the premise of maintaining professionalism.

In order to reduce the user’s mentality of giving up halfway, the mobile APP has added a somatosensory interactive course, which can be transformed into a somatosensory game with the bracelet, which is full of entertainment.

Pre-warm-up and stretching after exercise are essential. Non-standard warm-up actions will lead to muscle strain and inefficient exercise, soMi band 8 Pro will warm up 3D.drawBrought it to the bracelet, check whether your actions are standard at any time.

3. You can also use the Miaoxiang Center by joining the Mijia Ecological Bracelet.

With the improvement of each ecology, Mijia is not far behind, and the bracelet can also be used as a part of the ecology.

Mi band 8 Pro joined the Miaoxiang Center.It is not a problem to control the mobile phone, tablet, speaker, etc. through the bracelet, which completes the missing link of Mijia wearable equipment.

Next, let’s take a look at how easy it is to use the upgraded mi band 8 Pro.

Second, the appearance: the screen is bigger and brighter, and the dual-channel monitoring module is added for the first time.

Compared with the previous generation of mi band 7 Pro, the design changes are not too big, and they all adopt the shape of "small square screen", which brings visual effects with equal width on four sides.

The screen of this generation has reached 1.74 inches, the resolution has reached 480×336, the refresh rate is 60Hz, and the PPI has also been upgraded to 336.

Although the specifications have been improved to some extent, the size of the watch body is still very restrained, reaching 46×33.35×9.99, which is slightly thinner than the previous generation’s 11mm and weighs only 22.5g g.

The surface is covered with Corning glass, which makes the bracelet more scratch-resistant and tough, and it will not affect the display effect after long-term use.

The brightness of the bracelet has also been increased to 600nits. With the ambient light sensor, it can be seen clearly outdoors without being too bright indoors.

In operation, the whole table body has no physical buttons, and it maintains a full touch mode, and it can realize different operations such as returning, entering the home page, notifying, etc. only by sliding.

The middle frame is made of plastic material processed by NCVM technology, which ensures lightness, while the metal texture makes the bracelet look more classy.

The middle part is the heart rate sensor. It can be seen that there are two sensors in the upper part, which is the dual-channel monitoring module body. Generally, there is only one bracelet.

The two metal points at the bottom are used for magnetic charging. Just lean the charger gently and it will automatically adsorb, which is very convenient.

It is worth mentioning that the quick release button of the strap is internal, and the previous generation has a little difficulty in pressing the button. The pressure of this generation has become smaller, and it is easier to remove and replace the strap.

Third, sports: bracelets can also experience somatosensory games. 3D fitness animation is more intuitive.

When you first turn on the phone, you need to activate the watch with the mobile phone "Xiaomi Sports Health" APP, but in this process, the author found that there is a "somatosensory interactive course" on the sports page.

After starting the game, you will enter a somatosensory game similar to the game console.

From the experience, although it is not as accurate as the game console handle, the recognition rate of mi band 8 Pro in action is quite good.

This should be realized through the recognition of acceleration sensors and gyro sensors. These sensors can also record motion data in real time, such as steps, walking distance, calorie consumption and so on.

After completing the game, the mobile phone interface will give the training results, and it can be seen that the author has not moved at all, so the hit rate is 0%.

This also shows that it is impossible to be lazy, and the sensor will record the user’s actions in real time to determine whether it is effective.

This somatosensory interactive course is based on boxing courses, and you can master skills such as straight boxing, swing boxing, hook boxing, pace and hiding during play.

In addition to boxing, the game can also choose ninja-style chopping, darts and other games, users can choose according to their own interests.

You can even project the screen of your mobile phone on the TV, and then cooperate with mi band 8 Pro to realize the motion somatosensory function of the game console at low cost.

In sports, mi band 8 Pro also brings wrist running courses, which can teach you from the beginning. Each course can bring more scientific and intuitive running guidance to users, and avoid stepping on the pit when Xiaobai gets started.

Every time you exercise, it is essential to warm up in the early stage and stretch after exercise, which can promote cardiopulmonary function, reduce exercise loss and let users enter the state quickly.

Mi band 8 Pro brings 3D exercise and fitness animation, which can be viewed on the bracelet without a mobile phone, and can provide more scientific and intuitive exercise guidance.

From the screen reading habits, animation is more intuitive than text, which actually maximizes the use of the bracelet AMOLED screen.

Mi band 8 Pro retains the five-star positioning of Beidou, GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and QZSS, which can record the route in real time during the movement and accurately record the movement trajectory even if it is separated from the mobile phone.

It should be noted that, because it does not depend on the mobile phone, the bracelet needs to be positioned in an outdoor open place, and there should be no obstructions on the top of the head, otherwise the positioning effect will be affected, and the battery life of the bracelet will be reduced to some extent after the positioning is turned on.

During exercise, information such as speed and heart rate can be displayed on the bracelet. If you want to view detailed data such as maps, you need the "Xiaomi Sports Health" APP on your mobile phone to cooperate.

Fourth, health monitoring and wonderful enjoyment center: Mijia ecology is more complete, and bracelets can also control smart homes.

-health monitoring

After mi band 8 Pro joined the dual-channel monitoring module, it is more accurate to monitor data such as sleep, heart rate and blood oxygen saturation.

It also brought a nap detection that was not available in the past, so that even a nap can be accurately recorded.

Just like during a nap, mi band 8 Pro accurately recorded the duration of the author’s lunch break, but because it was a sporadic nap, there was no data such as deep sleep, shallow sleep and eye movement, only night sleep was supported.

Mi band 8 Pro supports all-weather monitoring of heart rate, blood oxygen, stress and other health conditions, but only the data of the day can be viewed. If you want to view more detailed data recorded in the past, you need to cooperate with the "Xiaomi Sports Health" APP on your mobile phone.

-wonderful enjoyment center

Mi band 8 Pro has also joined a part of Xiaomi’s ecology. Through the wonderful enjoyment center, you can control the TV, speakers, mobile phones, tablets and other devices at home, and use them as wrist remote controllers. Common song cutting and volume control can be done, and you can also project the sports data on the bracelet onto the TV during sports.

V. Summary: The best choice to maintain the status of the bracelet ceiling at 399 yuan in the same gear.

As the most important part of wearable devices, mi band 8 Pro has improved its functions on the original basis, further explored new ways of playing watches, and brought a more versatile use experience.

On the basis of the original functions of motion recognition, five-star satellite positioning and all-weather monitoring, this paper introduces some very practical functions, such as somatosensory interactive course and 3D fitness animation. These functions are essentially to lower the threshold for users to get started, stimulate the passion of sports, and find and enjoy the fun of fitness in the boring exercise process.

After all, for such wearable devices, it is not easy to ensure professionalism while taking into account entertainment and practicality on such a small bracelet.

It is the first time to join the dual-channel dual-channel monitoring module, which brings more accurate and professional health monitoring effect, so that users can know their own health status in time and intervene, so as to be aware of it.

There is also the wonderful enjoyment center of mi band 8 Pro, which makes up the missing wearable device in the Mijia ecology, and can control smart homes such as speakers and air conditioners through bracelets, which can be regarded as satisfying the thoughts of rice noodles.

Mi band 8 Pro has brought so many upgrades, and its size has been made thinner. It has not sacrificed its battery life. The battery has reached 289mAH, which can maintain a light service life of 2 weeks and a heavy service life of 6 days. After turning on the power-saving mode, it can also achieve a long battery life of 25 days.

While focusing on cost performance, mi band 8 Pro continues to maintain the ceiling position in the bracelet category, especially considering its price of 399 yuan. If you want to buy a bracelet as a fitness partner, then I believe it will be your best choice.
