Xiaomi Smart Band 9 Active in for review | Infinium-tech

Xiaomi has diversified its smart band lineup (formerly Mi Band) over the past few years, and it now comes in three different variants, with the Active being the most affordable at €30/20 – which is cheaper than the vanilla Smart Band 9. Is cheaper than.

The Band 9 Active comes with a smaller 1.47-inch TFT display (60Hz) with somewhat thick bezels, and is noticeably smaller than the OLED panels of its siblings. This little nugget is made entirely of plastic, and it’s just 16.5 grams and 9.99 mm thick, making it comfortable to wear 24/7.

With 100+ options for the Mi Fitness app, there is no dearth of watch faces here. Our review unit comes in black with a matching TPU strap and we also got an attractive black and green color option.

The Smart Band 9 Active has a PPG sensor for heart rate and blood oxygen tracking. You also get the usual sleep and stress tracking and activity tracking for over 50 sports modes. There’s no built-in GPS sensor here, but the device is still 5ATM water resistant, so you can take it to the pool without any worries.

The retail package includes a proprietary two-in magnetic charger, which looks like previous smart bands.

Xiaomi has added a 300mAh battery, which it claims can last up to 18 days with normal usage. We’ll be sure to test those claims along with our usual tests in our review.
