Mi Smart Band 6 design and specifications
Xiaomi MI Band 6 has two components, a capsule-shaped core and a TPU strap. The Mi Smart Band 6 at first looks identical to its predecessor the Mi Smart Band 5 but the difference is apparent the minute the display lights up. While the Mi Smart Band 5 had a small rectangular display, the one on the Mi Smart Band 6 stretches to the edges of the capsule and has very thin bezels at the top and sides. The AMOLED display now measures 1.56 inches and has a resolution of 152×486 pixels. It also has tempered glass on top and an anti-fingerprint coating which helped keep the unit smudge-free, in my experience.
The capsule is removable but you don’t really need to do this since you can charge it using the included magnetic charger. The underside of the capsule has pins for charging the 125mAh battery in the band. Xiaomi hasn’t bumped up the battery capacity over the Mi Smart Band 5 leading to some apprehensions before testing thanks to the larger screen. Right above the charging pins are sensors for heart rate and SpO2 tracking. There are no physical buttons on the Mi Smart Band 6, and all navigation is touch-based. Xiaomi has made the Band 6 water resistant up to 5ATM, in fact, it can also track swimming.
