Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4 Guide

If you’re reading this Xiaomi Mi Band 4 Guide, chances are you're intrigued by the buzz around Xiaomi's Mi Band series, seeking to understand the hype or eagerly anticipating the arrival of your Mi Band 4 order.

The acclaim for Mi Band devices, and Xiaomi products in general, is well-founded. Xiaomi delivers high-quality products at a fraction of the cost, offering a compelling alternative in a market dominated by $1,000-plus smartphones.

This time, the Mi Band 4 features a 0.95-inch RGB AMOLED display, a notable upgrade from the Mi Band 3's smaller black-and-white screen. With a sharp 120 by 240-pixel density and 400-nit brightness, the touchscreen display ensures clear visibility even in direct sunlight. Navigation is primarily done through taps and swipes—swipe for different modes, access music controls, or navigate between screens. A capacitive button beneath the display serves as a back button.

Covering the essentials, the Mi Band 4 monitors steps, distance, calories, resting and active heart rates, and sleep. Although lacking built-in GPS, it offers connected GPS functionality, allowing you to track workouts with GPS by syncing with your phone.

For pairing and activity stat viewing, Xiaomi's Mi Fit app is the go-to, streamlining the process compared to devices like the Galaxy Fit, which utilize multiple apps for settings and health tracking.
