World of cheap but functional devices.

The company introduced bracelet called Mi Band cost only $ 13. Editorial Droider became curious about the gadget for so little money.

Like all devices Xiaomi, Mi Band a small box of very dense cardboard, which must withstand the weight of an adult human. Included is only the most necessary: strap, battery charger and an instruction booklet.

The design is a compact "pill" of metal and plastic with sensors, that is inserted into the rubber jacket-bracelet. By default it black, but can be ordered separately and more cheerful colors. Fastener is inserted in the loop, after which is fixed in one of the holes of the strap. Divisions have to hand any size.

Mi Band connects with a Smartphone via Bluetooth and proposes a standard set of functions for the fitness of the Bracelet: believes steps vibrate on incoming calls, counting calories (to do this, you must specify a height and weight), records the number of times you jumped through a rope or do exercise on the press. Even smart accessory can wake you up and provide information on the progress of sleep: deep and light sleep phase, number of Awakenings, the total time of rest.

For sure many are interested in the function of the smart alarm clock. Using the application, which we'll talk later, you can configure the time and days, as well as enable smart alarm clock that you woke up in the bracelet the most convenient period of time. At the appointed hour Mi Band starts to vibrate strongly at the wrist. However, it makes this exactly 5 times, then falls silent for 5-10 minutes. Because of this, there is a risk not to feel and to remain in the realm of Morpheus. I avoid this problem, so it all depends on the strength of sleep.

The application is easy: the fact of the matter is that when you try to search for it in Google Play Store, you will be left with nothing. Xiaomi isn't begun to translate the program into other languages, in addition to his native China. To the rescue came home Kulibiny, who promptly transferred fresh versions of the application. Find it on the Internet does not take much.

On the main screen displays a personal cause for pride is the number of completed steps per day. Below you can find more information about time intervals and the number of izničtožennyh calories. Tap on the menu in the upper left corner, you can see the same information in chart form.

From the icons in the top right corner is access to the alarm settings, profile and counting exercises. In the original version of the application has the ability to share achievements in Chinese social networks, but in the custom-can boast of Twitterand Facebook, and wherever you want.

Xiaomi promises that from a single charge Mi Band lasts about a month. So far, check out the manufacturer's claim failed because for 8-9 days to 21% depleted bracelet. Virtually no disconnections.

In General, the gadget has left very positive impressions. From the accessory no ŝenâč′ego delight as when buying a new smartphone or Tablet-simply put your hands and forget, and performs the functions of a bracelet. The only splash of emotions I felt when I learned that Mi Band supports Smart Lock from Android 5.0, which do not need to enter a PIN code or pattern, if there are "reliable devices.

For lazy people, the bracelet can be a good incentive and Motivator: when to perform a daily 1-2 is rule of a thousand steps, legs are in a hurry to go out for a couple of stops early, to get "in Sweden:". The low price and the recent exit of the application in the Apple AppStore makes Mi Band is a good choice of gift for the new year.
