    Xiaomi Mi Band 3 review!
    Like almost always Xiaomi have different versions of a product - to be sold in China, and to be sold internationally. Both versions are already available on most of the webstores.
    Unboxing experience is fine - good looking box. The quality of the band seems to be good. Not sure what the OLED display is covered with - but didn’t scratch as much as I expected. Strap is similar to the Mi Band 2, but my hope to have the same size (respectively straps) were dashed as soon as placed them side by side.
    Before I get into the review - there are two easy to follow steps in order to switch from Chinese to English:
    1. Get the mi fit app version - www.dropbox.com/s/tw7eqm8r8bz...
    2. Run it. It will discover the band and will ask you to update the firmware. That would be it - a few minutes and you will have the fitness tracker in English.
    As for the rest of the hardware - you are getting a larger screen that can show more data, more functions, waterproof rating for swimming and version with NFC support. Battery is also larger - now 110mAh , compared to 70 for the predecessor. But the autonomy time has decreased a bit because of all the new features. The smarter it gets, the more power it consumes.
    I mentioned there are new features - and you will find a lot of them. The display is now touch. Swiping vertically and horizontally will guide you through the menus, and to activate some of the functions you need to apply long press.
    There is an easy to view summary of your activities. Much better structured than on Mi Band 2. Heart rate measurement is also available.
    Weather forecast is also there - you can check it for the next three days, and there is a way to specify the location manually.
    The menu called “more” is grouping the rest of the features - stopwatch, about section, screen config and silent options. You have a choice among a few watch faces. I love the silent option - in fact there’s no need to touch it - put your phone into silent mode and the band goes silent too!
    Good news is that Google Fit sync works out of the box, however there is no Strava integration module.
    Because there are a lot of you wondering whether to get the Mi Band 3 or 3, here are my thoughts.
    - Build quality of the 3 is slightly better. Honestly - I do prefer the design of the 2. And right now an advantage of mi band 2 is the huge variety of straps and other crazy accessories.
    - For the Xiaomi Mi Band 3 it will be more difficult to have a screen protector and may look ugly. The display is glossier, but still better visible. Just like the 2 - it has almost zero visibility on direct sunlight, especially if you have sunglasses. So it is very suitable for people that spend a lot of time indoors and in offices.
    - It offers some new awesome features - silent mode that is synced with your phone, continuous heart rate (if I may call it like that), weather forecast, NFC option, touch controls and watch faces.
    - There’s waterproof rating and the band 3 is good for swimming.
    - looking at the strap design - it looks like after continuous usage, you won’t have any troubles with the watch popping out of the strap, which is very common for the Mi Band 2 after 6-7 months of usage.
    The only obvious downgrade is the slightly shorter battery life, despite the larger battery capacity.
    And looks like Xiaomi have granted themselves another very easy win against everything else you can buy at the price of around 30 dollars. So - yeah - overall a decent upgrade to the mi band 2, at the same price.

      @TechMishka  5 років тому

      Hey hey, thank you so much for taking the time to watch the review.
      Most of the sound is recorded with the Aputure A-lav mic - quite an affordable option. Unfortunately the area where I record is not sound-proof and there's bad echo that is hard to mask. But a lavalier mic is the best option in that case... Please note that if connected directly to the camera, it has lower quality compared to a connection to a sound recorder (lately I use a lot the Zoom H1 - an old, but gold device).
      There's also a studio microphone utilized from time to time - Auna USB condenser mic.

      Hi David - I have described the procedure as it worked for me. Not sure why id didn't push an update. Check some of the smartband forums - there are plenty of people that may have more experience with it. This is one of the links from the video description - geekdoing.com/forums/#xiaomi-mi-band-3.4

    The only FLAW that mi bands have is that, the capsule has to be removed for every charge....
    if at all if like magnetic charge is placed right below the heart rate sensor or so and the capsule need not be removed for every charge then MI BAND 3 would be the BEST FITNESS TRACKER in market not even one of the best......... but I am pretty happy with the features

    • @TechMishka
      @TechMishka  5 років тому +1

      Hi Enes - the tracker will record your activity and synchronize with the phone when connectivity is available. The sync process is not happening in real-time, because it is quite an intensive operation which will reduce the battery life if occurring too often.
      In short - feel free to put your phone in airplane mode - in the morning the tracker will send the data to the smartphone app and nothing will be lost. Most of the trackers keep a record/backlog of a few days.

    I still havent decided to get mi band 3 or amazfit bip. by the way i am a bit shocked and find it weird that you said that the mi band will be silent if the phone is silent. Isn't that the reason of using smartband/watch?To get notification while having the phone or silent. at least that's one of the reason i want to get one, so i can keep my phone away from me and on silent but still got notifications.

    • @TechMishka
      @TechMishka  5 років тому

      Amazfit Bip is smarter :-)
      As for the silent mode - perhaps this feature is designed for people that want everything to be completely silent. I've had numerous cases where my phone was silent, however my watch wasn't, and the vibration was quite annoying for the other people in the room

      I'm now during the summer in a work which involves working with kids, running and playing so I asked a friend to borrow me his miband 2 and I love it. The only thing that annoys me is I can't silent it, while I'm using the phone I normally silented the gear S3, I can't do it with miband 2 so it keeps vibrating or I have to turn off the Bluetooth which annoys me.
      I thinks it wouldn't be that hard to give the option in miband3 to silent it, independently from the phone
