Xiaomi Mi Band review: A bargain price fitness band with great battery life

The China-made Xiaomi Mi Band easily matches the competition in tracking your steps and sleeping patterns for a fraction of the cost.

The Xiaomi Mi Band is a water-resistant fitness tracker that measures your steps and sleep patterns. It's ridiculously cheap with excellent battery life to boot.

It's only compatible with Android 4.4 devices and the gesture motion to light up the Mi Band's indicator lights can be hard to master. There's no word on iOS compatibility.

At $13, it's really easy to forgive the few flaws the Mi Band has, though getting one will be challenging unless you're in China.

Xiaomi MiBand review

A low cost fitness band perfect for those a little more casual about what they're tracking Xiaomi started out making its own custom version of Android, MIUI. Then it started making phones. Now, just 4 years on from first existing as a company there is...

The Xiaomi MiBand certainly isn't going to be for everyone. But it is a fitness band for everyone. Anyone put off by the much higher prices commanded by the likes of Fitbit, Jawbone, Nike et al will immediately have a barrier removed by the MiBand. I...
