Xiaomi Mi Band 6 review - A clear winner - Android

The Mi Band 6 handles the basics well, and that's what we expect out of a device at this price point.
Mi Band 6
By Xiaomi
Positives

Affordable price
Good battery life
Bigger, colorful display
Lots of sports tracking modes
Useful smart features
Accurate resting heart rate readings

Negatives

Battery life takes a hit with advanced features
Heart rate sensor struggles with high-intensity workouts
Sleep tracking can be off
Xiaomi Wear app still needs work
No NFC, voice assistant outside China

Bottom Line

Xiaomi has another hit on its hands with the Mi Band 6. It's a good, basic fitness tracker, and modern features like blood oxygen tracking and a bigger AMOLED display help make the sub-€50 price tag even more enticing.

Xiaomi is heading in the right direction with the Mi Band line, though it shouldn't rest on its laurels. Competition from Huami and Huawei is heating up, and we may not see the Mi Band line at the top for long.
