Pros
Our editorial view of this model’s strengths and limitations.
Xiaomi Smart Band 8 has a 1.62-inch AMOLED display. It is handy for checking the time, notifications and workout results without taking out your phone.
Heart-rate, SpO2, sleep and workout tracking help you follow daily activity. Data syncs with Mi Fitness on Android and iPhone, making it easy to compare different days.
The 5 ATM rating allows pool swimming within the manufacturer’s instructions. A light body and replaceable strap suit everyday wear; choose a water-compatible strap for swimming.
The manufacturer quotes up to 16 days of battery life. This is a scenario-based estimate, not a guaranteed result: display settings and how often you use features affect runtime.
How do we assess advantages and disadvantages?
Our editorial assessment draws on specifications, manufacturer documentation and available material about the model. It does not imply our own laboratory testing. We distinguish physical RAM from virtual expansion; features and box contents can vary by market. Reference prices are conversions; check the store for the final price of an offer.
