Verdict

The Xiaomi Mi Band 4 is a lightweight (22.1g) fitness tracker featuring a vibrant 0.95-inch AMOLED color touchscreen with 120x240 resolution and 400 nits brightness. Key characteristics include 5ATM water resistance, a 6-axis high-precision sensor for tracking six sport modes—including swimming stroke recognition—and a 135mAh battery offering up to 20 days of life. Its main pros are the bright, customizable color display, excellent battery longevity, and improved health metrics like continuous heart rate and sleep monitoring. However, its notable cons include the lack of built-in GPS, requiring a smartphone connection for outdoor route tracking, and a charging cradle that still requires removing the tracker module from the silicone strap.
