This is the Xiaomi Smart Band 8 Pro and it’s a little bit bigger and a bit better than its predecessor.<\/p>\n
It ships with a magnetically attachable charger and a good-looking TPU strap – ours is the light grey model. The band is already on sale in Europe, priced at \u20ac70.<\/p>\n

This model looks very much like the Smart Band 7 Pro it succeeds but offers some quality-of-life improvements. For starters, the display is bigger – it’s 1.74-inch, up from 1.64-inch, and a bit sharper at 336ppi. And the panel is 100 nits brighter at 600 nits.<\/p>\n
The battery is almost 20% bigger as well.<\/p>\n
The Xiaomi Smart Band 8 Pro runs Xiaomi’s proprietary OS. It’s simple to use – a swipe right brings up the setting toggles, the different screen panels are to the left, a swipe from the bottom brings the apps grid, and a swipe from the top shows the notifications.<\/p>\n

The band is well-built. It’s made of high-strength fiber polymer but you’d be forgiven for mistaking it for metal as it has what’s called a non-conductive vacuum metalization coating to make it look like metal.<\/p>\n
The glass atop the display is Gorilla Glass 3. You can take the smart band swimming with you, thanks to 5ATM resistance. It’s equivalent to 50 meters but Xiaomi has a list of warnings in case you want to test the water resistance – no hot showers or saunas, and keep in mind that the resistance can deteriorate over time.<\/p>\n
