Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4^{(Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4)} je pristupačan uređaj za zdravlje i fitnes koji ne prazni vaše džepove i ne iznevjerava vas hardverskim specifikacijama. S RGB AMOLED zaslonom u boji, baterijom koja teoretski može trajati do dvadeset dana, vodootpornošću i preciznim senzorom za praćenje otkucaja srca, sve po niskoj cijeni, možete vidjeti zašto mnogi ljudi razmišljaju o kupnji. Ako ste i vi, pročitajte ovu recenziju i saznajte isplati li se kupiti i zašto:

Presuda

Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4^{(Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4)} izvrstan je fitness bend za korisnike s niskim budžetom. Njegove glavne kvalitete, osim cijene, su svijetao i osjetljiv zaslon osjetljiv na dodir, vodootpornost i precizno praćenje otkucaja srca. Vjerujemo da je ova fitnes traka odličan izbor za ljude koji namjeravaju kupiti svoj prvi uređaj ovog tipa, kao i za one koji žele potrošiti samo mali iznos novca. Međutim, ako ste ozbiljno posvećeni fitnesu i sportu općenito, možda biste željeli pogledati skuplje alternative.

Otpakivanje Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4

Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4^{(Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4)} dolazi u dugoj i pravokutnoj kutiji koja izgleda prilično elegantno. Na njegovoj prednjoj strani možete vidjeti ilustraciju fitness benda, mali Mi logo i veliki broj 4 koji vam govori o verziji benda.

Ako želite više detalja o svom novom fitness bendu, možete ih pronaći otisnute na stražnjoj i bočnim stranama kutije. Unutra^(Inside) možete vidjeti što ste platili: Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4 , vlasnički USB punjač, ​​korisnički priručnik i jamstvo.

Iskustvo raspakiranja za Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4 jednostavno je. Paket sadrži sve što vam je potrebno za brzi početak.^{(The unboxing experience for the Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4 is straightforward. The package contains everything you need to get started quickly.)}

Specifikacije dizajna i hardvera

Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4^{(Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4)} izgleda baš kao i svaki drugi proračunski fitness bend, barem kada je isključen. Sam uređaj, bez narukvice, običan je i jednostavan, pravokutnog oblika. To znači da je na njega lako zalijepiti zaštitnik ekrana, ako volite takve stvari, iako je ekran već zaštićen 2.5D kaljenim staklom^{(2.5D tempered glass)} . S druge strane, zakrivljeni zaslon bi mogao izgledati bolje i elegantnije.

Dobra vijest je da je ekran odličan u odnosu na one na prethodnim iteracijama Xiaomi Mi bendova. Mi Band 4 ima 0,95-inčni AMOLED zaslon^{(AMOLED display)} s rezolucijom od 120 x 240 piksela i 24-bitnom RGB dubinom boje^{(24-bit RGB color depth)} . Također je svijetao, može doseći do 400 nita^{(400 nits)} pri maksimalnoj svjetlini.

Na stražnjoj strani uređaja možete pronaći senzor za praćenje otkucaja srca i kontakte za punjenje. Nadalje, Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4 također ima 3-osni akcelerometar i senzor žiroskopa te senzor blizine.

Na remenu nema fizičkih tipki: zaslon je osjetljiv na dodir i osim prevlačenja po njemu, možete koristiti i kapacitivni gumb koji se nalazi na dnu zaslona. Ovaj gumb se koristi za buđenje benda i za povratak kada se krećete kroz njegove izbornike.

Narukvica za zapešće je izrađena od termoplastičnog poliuretana^{(thermoplastic polyurethane)} , što joj nudi malu količinu elastičnosti, ali i otpornost na habanje. Narukvica je široka 18 mm, a duljina joj je podesiva, u rasponu od 155 do 216 mm maksimalno. To znači da bi trebao biti prikladan za sve, i muškarce i žene, bez obzira na to koliko su vam velika ili mala zapešća. Vrijedi spomenuti i da je remen težak samo 22,1 gram.

Jedna stvar koju mnogi ljudi žele od fitness benda je sposobnost rada tijekom aktivnosti na vodi. Srećom, Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4 je vodootporan i može izdržati do 5 ATM . To znači da ga možete držati na zapešću, na primjer, kada plivate, a to je naš veliki plus.

Što se tiče povezivosti benda, trebali biste znati da koristi Bluetooth verziju 5.0 i da ima podršku za BLE . BLE dolazi od Bluetooth Low Energy i opisuje sposobnost uređaja da koristi male količine energije kako bi Bluetooth veze bile uključene. Kad smo već kod toga, Xiaomi reklamira ovu fitness narukvicu kao sposobnu izdržati do 20 dana i potpuno se napuniti za manje od 2 sata. Autonomiju mu osigurava prilično mala Lithium-Ion Polymer baterija od 135 mAh. Kao što možete vidjeti u sljedećem dijelu naše recenzije, to je moguće ako ne koristite sve značajke benda, iako je njegova autonomija impresivna čak i ako to činite.

Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4 ima 512 KB RAM-a^(RAM) i 16 MB ROM -a . ROM ( Memorija samo za čitanje^{(Read-Only Memory)} ) je više nego dovoljna za pohranu firmware -a benda , postavki i zapisnika, kao i nekih prilagodbi, kao što su skinovi zaslona.

Što se tiče podržanih operativnih sustava, Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4 službeno radi sa bilo kojim pametnim telefonom koji radi na Androidu 4.4^{(Android 4.4)} ili novijim, kao i sa bilo kojim iPhoneom koji ima iOS 9.0 ili noviji.

Ako želite pročitati sve službene specifikacije ovog proizvoda, idite na ovu stranicu: Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4 Specs .

Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4 ima neke impresivne specifikacije, s obzirom na to da se radi o jeftinom fitness bendu. Ima praćenje otkucaja srca, odličan zaslon, izvrsnu autonomiju i razumnu cijenu.^{(The Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4 features some impressive specifications, considering that it's a budget-friendly fitness band. It has heart rate monitoring, a great screen, excellent autonomy, and a reasonable price.)}

Korištenje Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4

Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4^{(Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4)} već je montiran u remenu za zapešće, koristeći neke rubove oko uređaja koji sjedaju na mjesto kada ga pritisnete na narukvicu. Nažalost, bilo mi je prilično teško izvaditi ga iz narukvice i vratiti. Prvih nekoliko puta kada sam pokušao, osjećao sam se kao da ću ga slomiti. S druge strane, nakon što sam neko vrijeme nosio Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4 , moram reći da je remen za zapešće udoban, zbog svoje fleksibilnosti, ali i zbog materijala od kojeg je napravljen ne tjera vaše zapešće da se znoji. To je za mene važno pitanje jer sam alergična na dosta stvari i sklona sam neugodnim kožnim reakcijama.

Još jedna stvar koja me se jako dojmila je trajanje baterije benda. Iako sam omogućio većinu njegovih značajki, uključujući spavanje i kontinuirano praćenje otkucaja srca, Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4 uspio je izdržati oko 10 dana prije nego što sam ga morao napuniti. To je izvanredna sposobnost s obzirom na to koliko je mala baterija benda.

Što se tiče fitness značajki, Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4 je prilično izdašan. Ne samo da može brojati korake korisnika, prijeđene udaljenosti i procijenjene sagorjele kalorije, već dolazi i sa šest različitih načina vježbanja. Ako ste znatiželjni o njima, znajte da bend ima specijalizirane načine vježbanja za traku za trčanje, vježbanje, trčanje na otvorenom, vožnju bicikla, hodanje i plivanje. Nažalost, osim hodanja i vožnje biciklom, nisam baš neki fitness, a biciklizam za to vrijeme nije dolazio u obzir jer su vremenski uvjeti u mom kraju bili prilično loši. Međutim, koliko sam primijetio, Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4uspijeva prilično precizno brojiti korake. Ponekad dodaje neke izmišljene korake koje niste napravili, ali njihov je broj mali i ne utječe na statistiku na smislen način. Nije više od deset ili dvadeset koraka dodano tisuću.

Jedna stvar koja mi se posebno svidjela kod Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4 je njegova značajka kontrole medija. Pitate se o čemu se radi? Bend vam nudi kontrole za glazbu koju puštate na svom pametnom telefonu, a podržava ne samo glazbene aplikacije kao što je Spotify već i YouTube . Sa samo nekoliko dodira na bend, možete učiniti stvari poput podešavanja glasnoće ili preskakanja na sljedeću pjesmu. Vjerujem da je to korisna značajka kada ste vani i trčite ili vozite bicikl.

Nadalje, Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4 ima impresivan zaslon koji je svijetao i lako se čita čak i na izravnom suncu, što je čest slučaj kada radite fitness aktivnosti na otvorenom.

Postoje i druge značajke za koje sam cijenio dostupnost i za koje sam siguran da mnogi ljudi također rade. Na primjer, sviđa mi se činjenica da vam Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4 može prikazati obavijesti i poruke koje primate na svoj pametni telefon, kao i vibrirati kada dobijete telefonski poziv ili kada se uključi alarm. Zaslon ima izvrsnu rezoluciju, a može prikazati čak i duge obavijesti, s mnogo znakova.

Također, značajka benda Find device je još jedna stvar koja mi je bila posebno korisna. Vidite, ja imam malo dijete, a ona često voli uzeti moj pametni telefon da fotografira ili igra igrice na njemu. Često ga ostavlja na najneočekivanijim mjestima, a ja ga obično teško pronađem. Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4^{(Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4)} mi je olakšao život: koristeći njegovu značajku Find device , mogao sam dodirnuti nekoliko gumba na njemu, a moj pametni telefon je počeo vrištati, što mi je znatno olakšalo pronalaženje. 🙂

Na kraju moram spomenuti i stvari koje mi se ne sviđaju kod ovog fitness benda. Prije^(First) svega, volio bih da je njegov ekran barem malo zakrivljen. To bi ga učinilo pomalo elegantnim. Kako jest, izgleda sasvim uobičajeno, iako je to za očekivati ​​od jeftinog uređaja.

Drugo, praćenje sna nije točno. Barem za mene, Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4 uopće nije uspio pratiti moje obrasce spavanja, pa sam svaki dan morao ručno uređivati ​​njegove snimke. Gotovo svake večeri, uz nekoliko iznimaka, odem u krevet i gledam Netflix ili čitam. U tim se vremenima ne krećem puno. Očekivao bih da će bend napraviti pretpostavke ne samo na temelju mojih obrazaca kretanja, već i na temelju mog otkucaja srca (i drugih informacija koje prikuplja) i vidjeti da ne spavam. U većini noći zaspim oko 2 ili 3 sata ujutro. Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4 misli da spavam od 23 sata, a njegova statistika je daleko od istine. To se može podesiti iz Mi Fita^{(Mi Fit)}app ako promijenite postavke navika, ali to je korisno samo ako imate redovite navike. Za nekoga poput mene, koji ima nepravilan način života, s različitim vremenima spavanja i buđenja, Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4 ne pruža točno praćenje sna.

Postoji i nekoliko stvari koje bi mogle biti bolje u vezi s aplikacijom Mi Fit i softverskim okruženjem. Sama aplikacija izgleda lijepo i nudi sve osnove koje su vam potrebne. Međutim, pronalaženje puta kroz njegove izbornike nije intuitivno i ne možete ga koristiti za promjenu jezika benda kako bi se razlikovao od jezika vašeg pametnog telefona. Nažalost, to je za mene negativno, jer mnogi znakovi iz mog materinjeg jezika, rumunjskog^(Romanian) , nisu ispravno prikazani na njemu ako je moj pametni telefon postavljen na engleski^(English) . Volio bih da moj pametni telefon bude na engleskom^(English) , dok je bend bio postavljen na rumunjski^(Romanian) .

Također, informacije i statistika benda dostupni su samo u aplikaciji Mi Fit . Stoga ih, na primjer, ne možete vidjeti u web-pregledniku niti ih na bilo koji način izvesti. Nadalje, iako morate kreirati korisnički račun s Xiaomi -om, povezivanje s njim je pravo iskustvo ako promijenite svoj pametni telefon. Ja sam, na primjer, koristio Android pametni telefon ( ASUS ZenFone Max Pro M2 ) s njim i sve je bilo u redu. Kada sam prešao na korištenje Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4 s drugim telefonom, iPhone SE , spojio sam Mi Fitaplikacija koja koristi isti račun. Ružno iznenađenje koje sam imao bilo je da su svi moji podaci izgubljeni s mog računa, uključujući podatke o vježbama, spavanju i pulsu snimljene prije kada sam koristio narukvicu s Android pametnim telefonom. To je loše iskustvo, pogotovo ako se s njim susrećete nakon mjeseci ili godina korištenja Xiaomijevih^(Xiaomi) usluga.

Korištenje Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4 je dobro iskustvo, ali ima i svojih mana. Hardver mu je izvrstan, ima dobar zaslon i bateriju, a praćenje otkucaja srca je precizno. S obzirom na njegovu pristupačnu cijenu, rekao bih da je izvrstan fitness uređaj za ljude koji paze na proračun. Međutim, ako želite fitness narukvicu koja je modernija, točnija u smislu praćenja sna i koja vam daje sigurnost da ne riskirate gubitak podataka, trebali biste uštedjeti nešto novca i analizirati i druge opcije.^{(Using the Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4 is a good experience, but it has its flaws. Its hardware is excellent, it has a good display and battery, and the heart rate tracking is accurate. Considering its affordable price, I'd say that it is a great fitness device for budget-conscious people. However, if you want a fitness band that's more stylish, more accurate in terms of sleep tracking, and which gives you the confidence that you don't risk losing your data than you should save some money and analyze other options too.)}

Verdict

The Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4 is an excellent fitness band for users with a low budget. Its main qualities, besides price, are the bright and responsive touch screen, the water resistance, and the accurate heart rate tracking. We believe that this fitness band is a great choice for people who intend to buy their first device of this type, as well as for those who want to spend only a small amount of money. However, if you are seriously committed to fitness and sports in general, you might want to look at more expensive alternatives.

Unboxing the Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4

The Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4 comes in a long and rectangular box that looks pretty stylish. On its front, you can see an illustration of the fitness band, a small Mi logo, and the large number 4 that tells you the band's version.

If you want more details about your new fitness band, you can find them printed on the back and sides of the box. Inside, you get to see what you've paid for: the Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4, a proprietary USB charger, the user guide, and the warranty.

The unboxing experience for the Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4 is straightforward. The package contains everything you need to get started quickly.

Design and hardware specifications

The Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4 looks just like any other budget fitness band, at least when it is turned off. The device itself, without the wristband, is plain and simple, with a rectangular form. That means that it's easy to stick a screen protector on it, if you are into that sort of thing, although the screen is already protected by 2.5D tempered glass. On the other hand, a curved screen might have looked better and more stylish.

The good news is that the screen is excellent compared to the ones on the previous iterations of Xiaomi Mi bands. The Mi Band 4 has a 0.95-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 120 x 240 pixels and 24-bit RGB color depth. It's also bright, being able to reach up to 400 nits at maximum brightness.

On the back of the device, you can find the heart rate monitoring sensor and the charging contacts. Furthermore, the Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4 also has a 3-axis accelerometer and gyroscope sensor, and a proximity sensor.

There are no physical buttons on the band: the screen is touch-sensitive and besides swiping on it, you can also use a capacitive button found at the bottom of the screen. This button is used for waking the band and for going back when navigating through its menus.

The wrist strap is made of thermoplastic polyurethane, which offers it a small amount of elasticity, but also resistance to abrasion. The wristband is 18 mm wide, and its length is adjustable, ranging from 155 to 216 mm maximum. That means that it should be a good fit for anyone, both men and women, regardless of how large or small your wrists are. It is also worth mentioning that the band weighs only 22.1 grams.

One thing that many people want from a fitness band is the ability to work during water sport activities. Fortunately, the Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4 is waterproof and can withstand up to 5 ATM. That means that you can keep it on your wrist when you're swimming, for instance, and that is a big plus from us.

Regarding the band's connectivity, you should know that it uses Bluetooth version 5.0 and has support for BLE. BLE comes from Bluetooth Low Energy and describes the device's ability to use small amounts of energy to keep the Bluetooth connections turned on. Speaking of which, Xiaomi advertises this fitness band as being capable of lasting up to 20 days and fully charge in less than 2 hours. Its autonomy is provided by a rather small 135 mAh Lithium-Ion Polymer battery. As you can see in the next section of our review, this is possible if you are not using all the features of the band, although its autonomy is impressive even if you do.

Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4 has 512 KB of RAM and 16 MB of ROM. The ROM (Read-Only Memory) is more than enough to store the band's firmware, settings, and logs, as well as some customizations, such as display skins.

In terms of operating systems supported, the Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4 officially works with any smartphone running on Android 4.4 or above, as well as with any iPhone running iOS 9.0 or above.

If you want to read all the official specifications of this product, go to this page: Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4 Specs.

The Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4 features some impressive specifications, considering that it's a budget-friendly fitness band. It has heart rate monitoring, a great screen, excellent autonomy, and a reasonable price.

Using the Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4

The Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4 is already mounted in the wrist strap, using some edges around the device that fits into place when you press it against the wrist band. Unfortunately, I found it pretty hard to take it out of the wristband and put it back in. The first few times I tried, it felt like I was going to break it. On the other hand, after wearing the Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4 for a while, I must say that the wrist strap is comfortable, because of its flexibility and also because the material it's made of does not make your wrist sweat. That is an important issue for me, because I'm allergic to quite a few things, and I'm predisposed to unpleasant skin reactions.

Another thing that impressed me quite a lot was the band's battery life. Even though I enabled most of its features, including sleep and continuous heart rate monitoring, the Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4 managed to keep on going for about 10 days before I had to charge it. That's an outstanding ability considering how small the band's battery is.

In terms of fitness features, the Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4 is quite generous. Not only can it count the wearer's steps, traveled distances, and estimated burned calories, but it also comes with six different workout modes. If you're curious about them, know that the band has specialized workout modes for the treadmill, exercise, outdoor running, cycling, walking, and swimming. Unfortunately, except for walking and cycling, I'm not much of a fitness man, and cycling was out of the question during this time, as the weather conditions were pretty bad in my area. However, as far as I've noticed, the Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4 manages to count steps quite accurately. It does sometimes add some fictional steps that you did not make, but their number is low and doesn't affect the statistics in a meaningful way. It's no more than ten or twenty steps added to the thousand.

One thing that I especially liked about the Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4 was its media control feature. Wondering what that's about? The band offers you controls for the music you play on your smartphone, and it supports not only music apps such as Spotify but also YouTube. With just a few taps on the band, you can do things like adjusting the volume or skipping to the next song. I believe that is a useful feature when you're out and about running or riding your bicycle.

Furthermore, the Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4 has an impressive screen, which is bright and easy to read even in direct sunlight, which is often the case when you're doing fitness activities outdoors.

There are also other features that I appreciated having available and which I'm sure many people do too. For instance, I like the fact that the Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4 can show you notifications and messages that you receive on your smartphone, as well as vibrate when you get a phone call or when an alarm turns on. The display has an excellent resolution, and it's able to show even long notifications, with many characters.

Also, the band's Find device feature is one other thing that was especially useful to me. See, I have a small child, and she often likes to take my smartphone to take photos or play games on it. She often leaves it in the most unexpected places, and I usually have a hard time finding it. The Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4 made my life easier: using its Find device feature, I could tap a few buttons on it, and my smartphone started screaming, thus making it much easier for me to find it. 🙂

Finally, I also have to mention the things I don't like about this fitness band. First of all, I would have preferred its screen to be at least slightly curved. That would have made it look a bit stylish. As it is, it looks just common, although that's to be expected from a budget device.

Secondly, sleep tracking is not accurate. At least for me, the Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4 did not manage to track my sleep patterns at all, so I had to edit its recordings each day manually. On almost every night, with few exceptions, I go to bed and watch Netflix or read. During those times, I don't move a lot. I would have expected the band to make assumptions based not only on my movement patterns, but also based on my heart rate (and other information that it gathers), and see that I was not sleeping. On most nights, I fall asleep around 2 or 3 AM. Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4 thinks I've been sleeping since 11 PM, and its statistics are a long way from the truth. That can be adjusted from the Mi Fit app if you change the habits settings, but that is useful only if you have regular habits. For someone like me, who has an erratic lifestyle, with various sleeping and waking times, the Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4 doesn't deliver accurate sleep tracking.

There are also a few things that could be better about the Mi Fit app and the software environment. The app itself looks nice and offers all the basics you need. However, finding your way through its menus is not intuitive, and you can't use it to change the band's language to be different from your smartphone's language. Unfortunately, that's a negative for me, as many characters from my native language, Romanian, are not displayed correctly on it if my smartphone is set to English. I would have liked to be able to keep my smartphone on English, while the band was set to Romanian.

Also, the information and the statistics from the band are only available in the Mi Fit app. Thus, you can't see them in a web browser, for example, or export them in any way. Furthermore, although you must create a user account with Xiaomi, connecting to it is a hit and miss experience if you change your smartphone. I, for instance, used an Android smartphone (ASUS ZenFone Max Pro M2) with it, and all was well. When I switched to using the Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4 with another phone, an iPhone SE, I connected the Mi Fit app using the same account. The ugly surprise I had was that all my data was lost from my account, including workouts, sleep, and heart rate data recorded before when I was using the band with the Android smartphone. That's a bad experience, especially if you encounter it after months or years of using Xiaomi's services.

Using the Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4 is a good experience, but it has its flaws. Its hardware is excellent, it has a good display and battery, and the heart rate tracking is accurate. Considering its affordable price, I'd say that it is a great fitness device for budget-conscious people. However, if you want a fitness band that's more stylish, more accurate in terms of sleep tracking, and which gives you the confidence that you don't risk losing your data than you should save some money and analyze other options too.
