小米手环 5 和 6，升级了什么？一文读懂两者区别​

In recent years, with the continuous development of smart wearable devices, smart bracelets have become an essential item for many people’s daily lives. They can not only monitor health data, but also bring convenience to daily life. As a popular brand in the smart bracelet market, Xiaomi’s bracelet products are loved by consumers for their high cost performance. Among them, Xiaomi Bracelet 5 and Xiaomi Bracelet 6 have attracted much attention. So, what are the differences between these two bracelets? Let’s explore together.

Design and appearance

Screen display

1. Size upgrade: The screen of Xiaomi Bracelet 5 is 1.1 inches, while that of Xiaomi Bracelet 6 is 1.56 inches. The larger screen of Xiaomi Bracelet 6 makes the display area increase by 50% compared with that of Xiaomi Bracelet 5. For example, more information such as text messages, notifications, and health data can be presented at one time, making it more convenient for users to view.

1. Resolution improvement: The screen resolution of Xiaomi Bracelet 5 is 126294 pixels, and the resolution of Xiaomi Bracelet 6 reaches 152486 pixels, with a pixel density of 326PPI, which is a retina-level screen. This makes the display effect of Xiaomi Bracelet 6 more delicate, whether it is icons, texts or pictures, the edges are smoother and there is no obvious graininess.

1. Screen type and touch operation: Both use AMOLED screens, but Xiaomi Bracelet 5 has a touch button under the screen for wake-up and return operations. Xiaomi Bracelet 6 cancels the physical touch button and adopts a new gesture operation. Users can slide up, down, left and right on the screen to switch different functions and settings, which is more in line with the operation habits of modern smart devices and makes the operation more smooth and convenient.

Shape and color matching

1. Shape similarity: In terms of overall shape, both bracelets maintain the classic “grain” shape of Xiaomi bracelets, which is small and lightweight, and is very suitable for daily wearing. The “grain” of the bracelet and the strap are separable designs, which is convenient for users to replace the strap.

1. Color difference: Xiaomi Bracelet 5 provides 8 colors of straps, including graphite black, deep space blue, lotus root powder, dynamic orange, bronze purple, vibrant yellow, light green, and dark cyan. Xiaomi Bracelet 6 also has a rich color matching. Although the specific number may vary, it also provides users with a variety of choices to meet the needs of different users for personalized collocation. In addition, the frame of Xiaomi Bracelet 6 has a golden bright edge, which adds a touch of fashion and luxury to the appearance of the bracelet.

Charging method

Both Xiaomi Bracelet 5 and Xiaomi Bracelet 6 use magnetic charging, which is more convenient than the previous base-inlaid charging method. Users do not need to remove the “grain” of the bracelet to charge, which reduces the trouble of frequent disassembly and assembly, and also reduces the risk of losing the “grain” or damaging the connection part.

Function upgrade

Health monitoring function

1. Blood oxygen saturation monitoring: Xiaomi Bracelet 5 does not have blood oxygen saturation monitoring function, while Xiaomi Bracelet 6 is equipped with a high-quality sensor. Through optical path design, multi-light source fusion and professional algorithm blessing, it can accurately measure blood oxygen saturation at any time. Blood oxygen saturation is an important indicator to measure human health. For example, for people who exercise a lot or are in a high-altitude environment, monitoring blood oxygen saturation can help them understand their physical condition in time.

1. Abnormal heart rate reminder: Xiaomi Bracelet 6 adds an abnormal heart rate reminder function. When the bracelet detects that the user’s heart rate is abnormal, such as too fast or too slow, it will immediately remind the user, so that the user can pay attention to their physical condition in time and take corresponding measures. This function is of great significance for protecting the health of users, especially for those with potential heart problems.

1. Sleep monitoring upgrade: Both bracelets support sleep monitoring, but Xiaomi Bracelet 6 has further optimized the sleep monitoring function. In addition to being able to accurately record the length of deep sleep, light sleep and wake-up time, it can also monitor the user’s breathing quality during sleep, providing users with a more comprehensive understanding of their sleep status, so as to adjust their lifestyle and improve sleep quality.

Sports mode

1. Quantity expansion: Xiaomi Bracelet 5 supports 11 professional sports modes, such as yoga, rowing machine, skipping rope, etc., which can meet the basic needs of users for common sports. Xiaomi Bracelet 6 has increased the number of sports modes to 30, including 19 new trendy sports projects such as high-intensity interval training, basketball, boxing, and Zumba, as well as 6 kinds of sports automatic recognition functions. Whether it is traditional sports or emerging sports, Xiaomi Bracelet 6 can better meet the monitoring needs of users in different sports scenarios.

1. Accuracy improvement: In the process of sports monitoring, Xiaomi Bracelet 6 has also improved the accuracy of data collection. Through the optimization of sensors and algorithms, it can more accurately monitor the user’s exercise posture, heart rate, pace, calorie consumption and other data, providing users with more accurate exercise feedback and helping users better plan their exercise plans.

Other functions

1. NFC function: Both the NFC versions of Xiaomi Bracelet 5 and Xiaomi Bracelet 6 support functions such as bank cards, bus cards, and access control cards. However, there are some differences in the specific number of supported traffic cards. Xiaomi Bracelet 5 supports 24 traffic cards, and Xiaomi Bracelet 6 supports 23 traffic cards. Although the number is slightly different, they can basically meet the needs of users in different regions for using the bracelet to take public transportation.

1. Female health management: Both bracelets support female health management function, which can record and predict the female physiological cycle, remind users in advance, and help female users better manage their physical condition.

1. Voice assistant: The NFC version of Xiaomi Bracelet 5 supports the voice assistant Xiaoai classmate, which can help users perform operations such as querying information and controlling smart home devices through voice commands. The NFC version of Xiaomi Bracelet 6 also has the Xiaoai classmate voice assistant function, and through continuous optimization, the voice recognition accuracy and response speed may be better, bringing users a more convenient voice interaction experience.

Battery life and price

Battery life

1. Xiaomi Bracelet 5: The battery capacity of Xiaomi Bracelet 5 is 125mAh, and the official claimed battery life is about 14 days under normal use.

The official claimed battery life of the NFC version is about 12 days, and the battery life of the standard version is 14 days.

1. Xiaomi Bracelet 6: The price of Xiaomi Bracelet 6 is slightly higher than that of Xiaomi Bracelet 5. The standard version is priced at 229 yuan, and the NFC version is priced at 279 yuan. The price increase of Xiaomi Bracelet 6 is mainly due to the upgrade of functions and the improvement of screen quality.
