Xiaomi Mi Band 6 vs Huawei Band 6: In-Depth Comparison! Which Should You Buy?

This is a straightforward comparison - no BS - no nonsense - no time wasting. Hit LIKE if you support this format. Cheers guys!

[@LimReviews]

Quick correction: The MB6's display is 152 x 486 pixels = 73,872 pixels. 1.56 inches. The HB6's display is 194 x 368 pixels = 71,392 pixels. 1.47 inches. The MB6's display on paper is larger than the HB6 even though when looking at both directly, it appears that the HB6 has a larger display. Just an FYI. Some of you are saying the HB6 display is too big. And some are pointing out that I'm siding with HB6 because of it's "larger" display. Bottom line - you choose what you like. I prefer reading more horizontally, rather than vertically. This video is just based on my personal opinion. PS: Another point to note is that the HB6 is 4-5g heavier than the MB6. Just in case anyone else is wondering. Cheers and take it easy guys.

IMO, people should keep in mind these are fitness trackers to begin with. If anyone wants to treat them like phone, then they should use a phone.

Lim!!! Pleasee please do a comparison between the Àmazfit GTS 2 and the OnePlus watch 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻....

[@advmx3]

I don't think the Mi band should be bigger or have a bigger screen. I mean, it goes against the point, Xiaomi does have a lot of smart watches, and making the mi band bigger would compete directly with those too. XD

[@Rap-vj9io]

If you had a mi band 4/5 next to a mi band 6 it would only take you 2 seconds to like the mi band 6 more. It's not that it's bigger display but more the fact it now uses all the surface for the screen, no more wasted space.

Nonsens, it's main attraction is the price which it not anymore comparing it with the Huawei band 6.

Great comparison video, many thanks, going for the Huawei Band 6. Liking your video format too.

[@JerryAnsahAyim]

I feel this your review is biased against the mi band 6. The huawei is more of a watch than a band and the mi band still stays a band after several years. It's amazing how they've kept the form factor and still doing the best.

[@insaneyankee4996]

He didn't even mentioned the weights of these two. Mi band 6 is half in terms of weight of Huawei Band 6

[@terencekuzgundehaas5025]

Huawei band is still a band when comparing to Huawei watch fit.... So Huawei band is actually better

[@mobai123]

Why does it matter if it is a band or a watch? The reason people buy a band is because it is cheaper than a full on watch, but if a band is so good and cheap it is borderline a watch, isn't that a good thing?

[@insaneyankee4996]

@@mobai123 It does matter. Band can be used in physical activities so it should be comfortable and light in weight. You don't want 1lb on your hand when you run.

Great comparison review 👍 in terms of size, the Mi Band lives up to the "band" name... It's just like wearing a bracelet and you can wear it with other bracelets in the same wrist. It's more comfy when you're wearing it while sleeping. The size of the Huawei band is almost like a smart watch already

Quick question! (even to huawei band 6 and honor band 6 is like 99% the same) would you recommend honor band 6 or the mi band 6? To my knowledge another plus for mi band 6 are the 3rd party strap availability plus a 3rd party charging dock (which is kinda useful), but at the same time i LOVE the "visually" bigger screen on HB6 (yes, both honor and huawei's) and recently 3rd party straps for honor band 6 is getting better? Anyways nice videos as always Lim! Many thanks!!

[@tiqsoo]

I would say to get huawei band 6 or 7, they are the same ad honor with more workout modes

[@t33jaytube]

Superb comparison! Well done! One thing I would like to know, thou, is how both bands integrate with Google fit. What are the info being passed to Google fit. I come from mi band background and I am rather disappointed that Mi band only sends the heart rate and sleep info to Google fit, but not workout info. How about huawei?

Nice review, thanks. Yes, the face on the Huawei looks good. I just want a watch that has a nice colour display and is easy to read / it is clear to see the time on. I don´t really care much about the notifications or fitness tracking etc. Maybe that is a strange request, but no-matter, given what I want what device would you recommend in this case? By the way, I don´t want to be spending $100 or $300 on a watch ;0) cheers! JB

Personally I prefer Mi band because it looks more like a band and less like a watch. Huawei band is definitely closer to smart watch than a band in my opinion, i just prefer smaller more "band like" device.

[@HMMaster]

Any comparison for the apps? Can integrate with 3rd party service/app? (ie Google Fit)

I'm using Huawei Band 4 Pro, and probably will stick with it for a while until they comes out with another Pro version which includes GPS. No complaints on the Huawei Health apps; they kept updating new versions and getting more and more efficient with power usage on the phone and the band they supported.

i . . . actually don't like the time on my wrist. can both watches display only the HR/02 figures? And if you wanted to see say a chart over time for the readings to maybe save on your PC. . . do both products, or any other CN brand bands do that well?

[@hoelih6815]

Everyone that wear whatever type of smartwatch or band sync their smart wear with their smartphone, so... I don’t understand why you dare to said the screen faces of mi band 6 is ‘limited’? There are hundreds of screen faces you can choose for your mi band 6. Huawei band 6 beat mi band 6 on it? Are you kidding? The Huawei band 6 strap is more comfortable than the mi band 6’s? Just buy a third party mi band 6 trap bro, there are hundreds (if not thousands) of third party strap in the market, choose whatever designs, or colours or comfort level you want. Can Huawei band 6 strap change Color? Or design? You want a larger display to see all the massages? Go to your phone, smart band is designed to be smart & light. The small screen is for notifications, that’s why it is called ‘notifications’.
