Xiaomi's Mi Band 5 is the latest version of their fitness tracker wristbands. It has kept pretty much the exact same size, looks and functionality as on the Mi Band 4. It's got a full-color AMOLED touch display and a single touch input button below the screen. The screen size is a bit bigger on the Mi Band 5. -Being 1.1" it does have a slightly higher resolution of 126 x 294 px and at 450 NIT it's also noticeably brighter.
The core features like the battery, RAM, and ROM size have not changed on this model, although the accelerometer and heart rate tracker both have seen a significant improvement.
In terms of functionality, it is still pretty much the same as you would have with the Mi Band 4. You can swipe horizontally on the watch face to access the shortcuts to apps you use the most. You can set up which APPS you want to be displayed here from the Mi Fit APP.
When swiping up and down from the watch face you can access all the APPS on the Mi band 5. -It's still the same old that you might be familiar with, but there are a few new ones. It now has a stress level monitor, improved sleep tracking, menstrual cycle tracking, PAI, a remote camera shutter control, and a whole bunch of new fitness tracker modes.
Most notably is the new magnetic charger. This means you no longer have to take the Mi Band out of the strap to charge it as you can simply attach it to the band which is a very welcome improvement.
So in broad strokes; the Mi Band 5 is basically the Mi Band 4S. Sure, it's got some good upgrades, but most of these could have really just been OTA firmware upgrades on the Mi Band 4 as the majority of the changes are really software related...
The most notable changes on the Mi Band 5 are the slightly bigger, and brighter screen, the improved heart rate sensor -and accelerometer, and the new magnetic charger (which also has a longer cord).
So is it worth getting the Mi Band 5 over the Mi Band 4?
Well, that really depends on two things.
1. How much you are willing to spend?
2. How important these newer features are for you?
Even though it does not have the MAJOR upgrades you might have wanted to see, I do think that the more accurate tracking and the new charger could be reason enough for you to pick up the Mi Band 5.

I’ll wait for mi band 10. So i could be like Ben 10.
Lol wkkwkw
Hahahahaha!
Hahah 💪
Find this funny thou. Hahaha should i look forward too?? 😆😂
👍
The Mi band 4 also had idle notification.
yea
Even 3 did
Even 2 did
I approve this correction.
Exactly....
This was one of the best reviews I've ever seen for something. There's something in your voice that I can't explain but it makes you wanna listen, kinda soothing. Anyway, if I had the 4 I wouldn't upgrade to this but since I've been using the 2 for ages, I think it's time for something more serious. Thanks for the great review!
Production values in this video were incredible, I'd just like to say, Holy shit.
Mine will come tomorrow, I'm soo excited.
Guys I found a cheap alternative to these at watchplaystore. It has a dual core cpu and great features. Plus its really cheap too, just google their name :D
cheap alternative? bro its $25 stop being broke
Short video, with tons of information. Just like i want them to be. Awesome work. Got a subscription.
Bro your videos are really awesome and this review was very detailed. You deserve 1M subscribers.
Thanks a lot! I hope to be able to get there someday!
The NFC functionality is the only upgrade I needet. When I can use it with google pay, I'll get one instantly
Yeah I will try to get my hands on a NFC version when it comes out, not yet available.
I agree. The "upgrade" to the 5 seems only a good move if it has the NFC.
Does the NFC can copy apartment keyfob like the Mi watch? Would love to know this!
@@BestindotechYT loh ada bang malvin🤗
I heard 4 Global is coming out with NFC soon
Omg a wireless camera button?? That’s so cool!
Great video again like always. Happy to see the "same" 😂 Mi Band 5. Waiting to see the Global version with NFC . Keep up the good work peace ✌.
Best band! We’ve done our review and totally impressed!
Yes, it's here! The Mi Band 5. What do you guys think? Anyone interested in seeing the global model as well?!
Hey I have a few questions! Do you think i should upgrade from the amazfit bip? Does the mi band 5 display staves, emojis and letters with apostrophe's (á,é,ó,ö,ő,ú,ü,ű,ä) ?
Thank you if you reply and btw keep up the good work, your videos ar good to watch and full of information about these products!😃😉👌
Hell yeah
*Good upgrade from old version (before MB4)
*Good choice for the one who want to start using smart band
Yeah but does it write out stuff normally or still uses question marks instead?
It just seems like a software updated mi band 4
For those using Mi band 3 this is a worthy upgrade. And for those using theMi band 4 keep your band and wait for whatever succeeds the Mi band 5.
Great video as always!! Do u know if the NFC global version will support paypass payment like Google pay? Thanks
Best video I saw about it thanks!
Nothing major so I'll be skipping it this year. Quite happy with the 4 right now thanks for the comparison
So what do you think about the 6 thats been released?
Wait a second man.... didn't know you were Dutch hahaha 😅🙌
Just bought my one today, great video!
Was about to buy the Mi Band 5. Though The Global NFC is really useful. Might wait and see what that comes in as. Great review
I bought this for my dying brother. He was a prince.
Condolences bro.
Vegeta?
Condolences Brother
No one gives a fu@k
Why for dying brother? How he died
I had gotten Mi Band 4 quite recently, around 2 months ago. Seeing that the all new Mi Band 5 has launched, it doesn't seem to be a bigger upgrade from Mi Band 4. I guess I'll keep my Mi Band 4 till Mi Band 7 or 8.
Lmao I bought my mi band 4 on the day of mi band 5 announcement kek
I bought mine about 4 months ago. And yes, I second you. Perhaps wait for Mi Band 6.
WaO
Lost my 3 and will wait for its launch in india
Just got 2 days ago :D
Just bought 3 of this..arriving soon can't wait
Love the quality of your videos!!
Thanks! Glad you like them!
When will the fix the text font for notifications? With such a decent screen now, surely they can improve this?
@Time Keeper oh, thats nice to know as i just ordered one. I thought the font was quite ugly too lmao

Amazfit is a sub brand under Xiaomi, I believe

I'm glad you do this 👍😁👏.
I've been using Mi Band 5 for about a week (my first MB). The part I like most is you can create your own taptic notification for tasks. For instance, I set my completion of 8000 steps notification to be "```-`", resembling the syllables of "Congratulations!" and I absolutely love this customization.
The band face store was not to my taste (too complicated) and some of the typefaces were too small, so I went with the default. But I did not know I could customize the modules, so thank you very much.
The reason I chose MB5 was 1. The magnetic charger works so much better for me vs. my old band (which was lost during the day because removing from the band to charge made the fit loose!). 2. I could not get the nfc version. It was sold out in the Tmall store within a *second*. I totally underestimated how much people love Mi Bands...
Yeah setting the taptic pattern is cool but could do that on previous generations as well actually. I do agree that the default watchface looks good and that the charger is the best option.
The NFC was just a short presale, so I couldn't get it either.. should be out soon though :)
Actually can't wait for the mi band 5! I've loved the 4 but I'm really interested to see how well the menstrual tracking works as nearly every review glossed over this fantastic feature!! Tracking the menstrual cycle is a huge aspect to a woman's health, it's great that this has finally been included, but how does it work??
You need to stick a censor down there to record it
Basically like any other menstrual cycle app. You log your last period, when it started, when it ended, flow etc.
@@GLamoRousCooKie I've got one now. Quite a nice interface but I hope they will go further and do symptom recording and BBT too. 🤞🏻
@@rj5525 I really hope your comment wasn't meant to be serious. If it was you sound like a complete idiot.
Can guys track theirs cycles too?
I wanted to know can we change strap with other straps like magnetic one
Great clip. What software do you use for your videos? They look amazing.
Thanks! -I'm using Adobe premiere for offline editing and After effects for animations and such.
Great video. Thanks, man! God Bless!
I'm upgrading from Mi Band 2 to Mi Band 5. The magnetic charger is a great improvement as just pulling out the watch from previous bands could damage the band over time.
I have currently mi band 2 and I'm considering to upgrade to a better one (don't know wich yet), because 2 has come to an old age with the battery not holding properly any longer. I would like to read other ppls experiences.
i had some tracer one before, that to charge, you have to pull one the strap out, eventually got damaged and couldn't be charged, upgraded to a mi band 5 now
When i learned that sp02 isnt included i was disappointed.
And i wish they changed fonts.
Rui 566 what is sp02
Its oxygen in blood sensor
Heard that the global version will have a spO2 sensor though
@@chongshaohong2969 I just bought one but doesn't come with blood oxygen measurement.
Rui 566 Global version was released but there is no mention of sp02 sensor . Can anyone else comment on this
I like it, especially the new magnetic charging port. The photo shutter I already had it since the mi band 2, with third party app
Thank you for comparing screen sizes to mi band 4, I was wondering if it was bigger than mi band 4 now I realized mi band 4 is .95 inches but this one is 1.1 it's 50 pixels taller and 6 pixels wider
Will they reduce brightness in this band also with every software update ? Like they did with previous bands ?
Probably they will so you get frustrated and order a new band.
No
Fyi, my Miband 4 have idle alert, when i siting to long, they will show somebody wake up from his chair...
Yes exactly
mi band 2 had this function as well
Mine too
Mi Band 3 also has it!
my Mi Band 2 too
In 18 june it's my birthday! And the gifts will be:
MI SMART BAND 6
MI SMART BAND 5
I am so happy and thanks for the review 😊
Nice review, thanks. Do you know if the Mi band 5's sold in China can be switched to English language or are they locked to Chinese?
how hard for Xiaomi to control music :(
I hope they have this feature soon. I'm still using Mi Band 3. Just waiting for this feature.
music control is available in mi band 4 .. and it's very cool
Gonna buy it , since i dont have any mi band yet 😆
Nice detailed review. However, is your wrist have a burnt mark from the watch or is it just temporary mark due to wearing the band for a long time?
I like the MI band 5, my first one drowned in the swimmingpool though.... :-( Thanx for another fine review once again!
Lower battery and bigger screen. Yup, improved to last shorter so consumers will buy Mi Band 6 next year.
I think they needed more room to place more components. The easiest way was reducing the battery size, without using a bigger case
I'm sorry, but if charging it once per week is too much for you, I don't know how you can use any gadget theses days...
Processor is more efficient so no need for bigger battery.
I have a mi4 and I only charge it once a month. I think the battery is good. One of the reasons it charges so quickly is that the phone and the watch are always connected. Only connect them when needed
😂👌
What annoys me about Xiaomi products is that very often the software is like 90 percent OK but instead of upgrading it, they just release a new device. Mi Airdots, mi band, anything mi home are good examples of this. 🙄
agreed but they cant make money tbh
My gtr & mi band4 still receiving updates. Wdym with airdots needing a sw upgrade?
oh...i thought you're talking about iphone 🙊🙈
@@brosplit only small firmware upgrades
Great review mate! How is it compared to Huawei Band 4 Pro? Seems like it doesn't have GPS, right? Anyway, great job!
Nobody wants expensive battery munching gps in a fitness strap. nobody.
Thanks foe the review
What he put in the band while swimming?
mi band 4 does have idle notification
actually even 3d version had it..
Very nice review!
i hope you're actually get sponsored by xiaomi cuz this channel is so good yet not get into 1 million subs makes me sad :((((
I'm happy with my mi band 4, I can't find any good reason to upgrade.
not enough improvement,i'll wait for mi band 6
But its damn cheap😝
@@GrilledChickenRamyun if it's cheap it doesn't mean we can spend the bucks needlessly 😁
I agree. If I didn't lose my 4 I would not have ordered the 5.
Nfc is a great reason to upgrade
@@johnrotten968 i also hav lost mine
thats why i am buying Mi band 5
i had band 4 and i lost him😔 but i told my parents for band 5 and 6 so they said i can get band 6 when it comes to our stores😁 p.s. i love your reviews! keep doing it!
Hello, I was wondering if you would recommend this or the Haylou Solar?
If this mi band 5 support global nfc, i'll definitely buy it
Im still using Mi band 4. Band 5 has only 14 to 20 days battery life, whereas my band 4 can do 25 days. Upgrades on functions looks great but I'll wait for Mi Band 6 or 7.
I just have mi b.3
Only thing I miss on my 4 is indoor cycling monitor, otherwise nothing to worry about.
Overall a decent looking little watch, easy to recommended for everyone.
Good video. Nice for who doesn't use English as their first language (in my case, it's brazilian portuguese)
Missing blood pressure measure and Oxygen.
2:28 Vo2 data is available with this watch or not?
Sync work with Apple Health? Thanks
And BG and GB prices jump to 39.99$ in just 1 day?
WTF... AliExpress wil be ok
Yes Vo2 is recorded and it's pretty accurate. When I feel like I'm about to shit myself when running I feel I'm in Vo2 zone after checking the record the time sequence it's pretty accurate
Just bought the 4. Not the amazing upgrade so I paid less for the 4 and I love it. I’ve been using it more than my amazfit GTR.
Would really like to see a budget tracker watch with a built in music player and some storage for a few albums, to save me carrying around a huge phone during running. The samsung gear fit 2 done this, however the samsung software was terrible.
My mi band 4 has idle notification as well.
Even the Mi band 2 has this
What is idle notification.bought it 20days ago...
@@Baasnhuish A setting in the app. It will tell you if you have been sitting/standing still for too long.
Myne To
Is it accurate? Compare to honor band 5?
I'll be keeping my Mi Band 4... I don't think it's worth the upgrade..
Effiong Bassey which should I get anyway all brothers
I will keep my mi band 3
Yeah me too!!🤤🤤
Especially during the pandemic people r not reaping money so Mi nand 4 is good for a whole another year or something
@@paneerselvam7071 I fully agree with you but I think I don't need a Mi Band 5 I am satisfied with my Mi band 3 if Mi comes with a always on display on Mi band 6 then I would think of getting that
I love that they are so good and so cheap! I had mi band 3, 4 and now im buying 5
Could you please do comparison video between
Xiaomi Mi band 5 & Haylou Solar LS05
I have a mi band 2 and I thought to upgrade to mi band 5 but it has similar features as mi band 4 I am going to buy the mi band 4 which much cheaper :)
happy days
They're almost the same price
I'm upgrading from Mi Band 2 to 5 and I already ordered it for 28€
Me watching this while using my mi band 3 that works just fine
Could you please do a video about the MI band 5 against the haylou solar from xiaomi you reviewed a few days ago?
Does the Mi Band 5 automatically sync the data like steps calories etc to the app and does it then auto syncronise the data to Apple Health?
To be honest, most new features seem to be gimmicks that most people will not actually use. If you have Mi Band 4, it is not worth the upgrade.
Ill keep my mi band 4 for now. 😂
So..? Keep it
how many days the battery lasts?
@@ClaudiuMunteanu 25 +/- give or take
Hi, I read that the Mi Band 5 has also SPO2. Can you confirm? I'm thing to buy the Mi Band 5 Global with NFC, but I just wanted to know that, about the SPO2, and if we can manage the mi Band 5 to always have the screen turn on with the clock?
xiaomify
Thank you so much, I have a question: Is it possible to truck my RUNNING without having my Smartphone ( I mean just having MI 5 band on my hand.
I think amazfit GTS has GPS but according to a review is not reliable.
reducing battery capacity required them to improve battery charger. nothing special, weak upgrade in my opinion.i 'm keeping my band 4 waiting for 6...
agreeed
Ha ha. I got the 3 waiting for 5 as I didn't find the upgrades on 4 to be so noteworthy.
I'll probably end up keeping the 3 until it dies...
@@DarkOracleOfDeath that idea seems to far fetched!..as the 4 has the beautifull amoled display and the 3 doesn't 🤷🏾♂️
@@tupikahielos4758 That's absolutely true, but I looked at the features alone and both have sleep tracking, steps count, etc. The only thing I'm missing is the ability to change music. Other than that, I have all the same features apart from the screen. I actually bought a MI Band 4 for my girlfriend, so I studied it closely... I don't see a huge improvement.
All I want is a microphone so I can give orders to my phone. That'd be dope af.
I have the Mi Band 3 so this is a worthy upgrade for me. I'm just waiting for the Global version
@xiaomify Mi band 4 also has idle notification too, and music controls.
Great video!
So no oxygen saturationsensor? I thought this would come to the miband 5?
It is using SPO2
@@cyano3d it's not, where did you see that? It doesn't have a SpO2 sensor. It was just a speculation and you can see in the video it it has 2 LEDs and 1 sensor. Not enough for a SpO2 sensor
@@xistencestudios8904 hi, what is sp02?
Global version will support SpO2 sensor.
Stupid function... Why the hell would it drop below 95 percent... You have to be very ill...
For the price it is very good. Keeping my band 4 until I loose it.
I loved my Mi Band 4, but I lost it 2 weeks ago, was gonna buy a new one but saw the Mi Band 5 on eBay (UK) and gone for that, arriving in a day or two.
Think I will really miss the awesome battery life of the 4, that would last me a month, but otherwise the 5 looks like a another great product.
Exactly what happened to me. My band 4 Popped off the strap while I was out on the street bike. Biggest issue with all the mi bands is keeping them in the straps. So I ordered the 5 as it is really the same price. Really like the bands. I've had them all from #2
It's looking good , i wanna test it out
I hope that xiaomi also release this new features in mi band 5 to 4 soon
you know nothing jon snow.
raising your wrist is all there even before mi band 2, left to right swipe from mi band 3 etc.
They'll never bring the early bird alarm back, will they?
I really doubt that as well.. I think that the early bird is baked!
What's early bird alarm?
😂
I was always excited to buy new mi bands due to there major updates but It disappointing to see mi band 5's underwhelming update in comparison we had major update if we compare it to the predecessors.
The last decent miband was the miband 2. With the 3 they made it so comically big to try and fit more on the horizontal space for text, but if you want a wide smart watch, just get the bip instead, it's the same but wider and shorter. Works exactly as a miband, same apps same functionality, but just a more discrete square share instead of this comically large vertical rectangle.
I think I'm gonna upgrade just for the fitness tracker if that stands alone, so I can finally do my sh*t phoneless. Does it?
no you still need your phone it is connected gps.
i still have the mi band 2 LMAO
there should also be blood oxygen level sensor in the global version
i was going to buy mi band 5 but thanks for your informatation because i didnt know that there is a nfc ve so i will wait till nfc is relesed
Why this channel doesn't have more then million subscribers? Great content 👍 keep it up.
good video effect, man
Thank you sir for the review...you are my go to reviewer for xiaomi product. Please keep up your quality content. Best of luck sir !
My friend... i got mi band 3 and 4 and both got Idle notification :)
Significant improvement indeed, I think this measures up well against Honor Band 5. Meanwhile, I really love the trills and all the work put in to make this video.
How do you edit your videos like this.. can you please tell me the software name..i want to learn about editing..
Beautiful Video thanks dear.
Just got this one it is brighter compared to the 4. I think the vibration is a bit stronger too. I like the PAI never had that before.
