I used to have mi band 8 n lost it 😅 does band 9 has torchlight?

[@SamiLuo]

The Mi Band 9 offers three major upgrades compared to the Mi Band 8: material, screen, and battery life. It features a metal finish middle frame, enhancing its premium feel. While the screen size remains the same at 1.62 inches, the brightness has been significantly upgraded from 600 nits to 1,200 nits. The battery capacity has also improved, with the Mi Band 9 sporting a 233mAh battery, a 25% increase from the 190mAh battery in the Mi Band 8. Additionally, the Mi Band 9 includes a z-axis linear motor. These are the main upgrades.

[@Inevitability-hq2je]

And new sensors for heart rate detection

I think I found my favourite reviewer! Detailed, honest, fun.. Keep up the good work! 😊

[@SamiLuo]

Yay! Thank you!

[@FarisKhan-ex5ts]

I'm enjoying your video from Pakistan 🇵🇰🇵🇸 Keep it up bro🎉

[@BRSPro]

The software experience on Band 9 is Crazy! 🔥

[@AhmedSh-nc6lj]

So smooth

[@SamiLuo]

Yeah, though Xiaomi didn’t say it, I feel it’s smoother as you can see from the video

[@ifacedownworship]

​@SamiLuo Xiaomi Watch S4 Sport is so much smoother!

[@mite_jan]

it is the same thing just on mi band it scrolls more , this is just an optical illusion , they should be both 60hz / 60fps

[@BRSPro]

@@mite_jan We're not talking about the smoothness. We're talking about the Animations, New VelaOS(HyperOS) & more. The Band now supports Lua Watchfaces means like Dynamic Live Watchfaces, Gyro stuff, etc. You can even install Application into the band like Gallery, Calculator, etc which is amazing!

Does it measure vo2 max?

[@istaygolden3017]

Is there any other new smart watches they are releasing in the event or is the band 9 the only one?

i hope this launches in my country as i am using mi band 4 and really need an upgrade lol

[@StoicPhilosophyyyy]

Awesome video. I wish you could show the colour options

[@marifbudiman3564]

Can you explain the apps available that can be installed to the band?

[@nematjafari6143]

No

[@zavaraninoveuhorky]

Real question is - does it support custom "apps" like on 7?

[@atwin710]

Which is the best app for Mi band series…Zepp life or Xiaomi fit

[@wibbbb]

only support xiaomi fit（after xiaomi band 7 pro and 8）

[@tzen1th586]

Hey, does anyone know when the global version will realease and how to buy it in India?

[@kebab6617]

according to an amazon leak it could release around august 16th

[@mite_jan]

you can always convert china to global thats what i did on my miband 8 , should be possible with the 9 too

[@tzen1th586]

@@mite_jan oh i didn't know you could do that, care to share a guide on it? Also there's people saying Mi releases global versions after polishing the bugs in their devices, so i might wait for it afterall.

[@mite_jan]

​@@tzen1th586 seen already a dumped global firmware for the mi band 9 , there is guides on 4pda site , you will have to use translate and register though

What is difference from global version? In Chinese version what languages?

[@lukas______]

Usually the Chinese versions have English as an option too

[@Rammstone86]

[@hathemfarook2693]

Nope..only in china possible

[@FrontWaffle]

I think it was possible in Mi band 6 with the global version (I think), so you just have to wait for the global version to release and watch some youtube videos if it has payments
