Verdict

The Xiaomi Smart Band 7 features a 1.62-inch AMOLED touch display with a 192 x 490 resolution, 326 PPI, and up to 500 nits of brightness. This fitness tracker supports over 110 sports modes and offers comprehensive health monitoring, including all-day SpO2 tracking, continuous heart rate monitoring, and advanced sleep analysis with REM tracking. Its main pros include a 25% larger viewing area compared to its predecessor, the addition of an always-on display mode, 5ATM water resistance, and a 180mAh battery providing up to 14 days of typical use. However, notable cons include the lack of built-in GPS—requiring a tethered smartphone for route tracking—and the absence of NFC in the standard global version for contactless payments.
