I have mi band 8 and my brother got mi band 9 few days ago. It seems that the sensor layout has been reverted back to mi band 4 design in mi band 9 . Auto brightness switching is weirdly laggy unlike mi band 8 which has smooth gradual brightness change. Ui takes more advantage of 60 hz more compared to mi band 8 which only made the scrolling smoother and not the presses or hold to chamge watchface animation along with heart outline glow animation while heart rate measuring
I lost my 3months old mi band 8 when I jumped from the cliff in to the sea. Now I need to buy mi band 9. They are great value for the money and not big deal if something goes wrong like on my case 😅
@@akidoomar easy. I vear mi band non stop. Only when it is charging is not on my arm. So I forget to put it from my arm when I jumped in to the ocean. Maybe it wouldn if I had better strap but this happened with original silicone strap
Thanks for the info on the bands. Currently have the 8 but not going to upgrade unless it breaks or something. I love it. Just wish it was slightly bigger.
Mine mi band 8 died due magnetic resonance exposition of my exam (I forgot to remove it before the exam) it was like 10 seconds of exposition and it's dead 😢 I was forced to upgrade to Mi band 9
My band 8 died within 10 days, it had full charge when i factory reset bc it was alarming everyday with no alarm set. When i was changing the theme on my iphone it turned off and never turned on again. I tried with difrerent chargers. Anywqys Im hoping for a refund so i can buy band 9.
My Mi Band 4 finally gave up this week after 5 years of non-stop use - screen simply fell out. I connected it again and I could still use it just fine if I glued it back but I suppose it's time for upgrade for me as well.
@@ministrytech ooh. Should it be the country we imported from or China for everyone. Also when u changed the location, does it change the language too?
I bought an 8 in March I loved it Until it died a few days ago I think lasting 6 months is really not worth it and I am angry at Xiaomi as I've checked online and quite a few people have had the same problem as me; their band died and refuses to come back Unfortunately, I've become very dependent on these bands (my first was the Band 2, and I've had 3, 5 (twice) 7 (lost) and now 8. I am resigned to buy again but thinking should I get 9 instead?
I became dependent as well. My Mi Band 8 lasted for 11 months until sudenly the battery droped to 10% in a day, stoped responding to touch and finally never turned on again.
@@filipeconstantino1295 Broo I feel your pain I really liked the 8 Congrats on the 11 months Just to let you know, I caved and bought the 9 Been a week, I'm happy but wary to be sucked into another unfaithful relationship 😭😭😭
@@ministrytechNope, The only thing I've been able to easily change is C to F for weather. For running it seems we can't change from KM to miles on the Mi Fitness app unless I somehow missed it.
Thank for the comprehensive comparison. Not gonna upgrade from Mi band 8. I hope the Band 10 is symmetrical bezel and thinner.
I also think it's not worth doing, 8 is still pretty good. But I don't think 10th generation will change much.

Just a quick question, can I leave my phone home while going for a run outside with band 9 on, Will it still track all the data?
yes, there will be, except for GPS, there will be no map with the route.
Yes, even with my band 8 I can go for a run without my phone, and when home it will nicely sync all the data with my phone.
@@radieschen79 thank you ❤️
@@radieschen79 everything is correct.
@@radieschen79funny how they miss the gps on the 9
Think I'll stick with my band 8. Thanks for the info. You earned a subscriber
Thank you!
Same here. Might jump to Band 10 or 11 when available. Now I am satisfied with 8. :)
me too, still love mi band 8 after 1 year use it. like mi band 9 its just small improvment but not new feature
Which one better 8 or 8 active,on batt consumption

that's for sure, you should buy a more reliable strap.
how did you get into a situation where you just jumped off a cliff into an ocean and just lost your watch 😭

@@akidoomar that its why i like mi band. It is cheap and it is not a big deal if something goes wrong. Yes it is stupid but also dont regret it 🤣
Very informative and straightforward.subscribed.thank you!!
I'm glad you liked this video and found it useful, have a nice day.
Does band 9 display emojis in notification? I have band 8 and its all good just no emojis displayed in notif, it appear as white boxes for emojis ..
Unfortunately no, they are not supported.
my question is will the workouts work even if not connected to wifi or data? example running
Yes and when you connect your mi band to your phone it'll sync the infos with mi fit app.
That's right, you don't have to use a phone.
Thanks for the info on the bands. Currently have the 8 but not going to upgrade unless it breaks or something. I love it. Just wish it was slightly bigger.
I'm glad you found this video useful.
I have no fit tracker. Do i go for the 8 of 9?
If there is no white at all, then 9 is better.
Does mi band8 straps fit on 9???
fits, they are identical.
Band 9 offers notable upgrades in display brightness, health tracking accuracy, battery life, and additional features.
exactly, you wrote everything correctly.
if your in Mi band 8 no need to upgrade, but if your still rocken the band 5 , its need for the band 9
I agree with you completely!
Band 4 🫡
@@doro8103 You're a good boy, still going strong!
Band 3 :D after losing Redmi 2
@@JakubSlusarek wow, 3rd band is still alive?
would you say its better than the fitbit inspire 3
I think yes, it will be better.
Mine mi band 8 died due magnetic resonance exposition of my exam (I forgot to remove it before the exam) it was like 10 seconds of exposition and it's dead 😢
I was forced to upgrade to Mi band 9
I'm very sorry to hear this, I hope the 9th generation will serve you longer.
@ministrytech
When it will be available in India
I think in the near future!
planning to buy band 9 . the touch is nit working on my band 8 anymore after 11mos of use😢
You probably used it actively, or accidentally hit it.
What app for the Mi Band 9?
Mi Fitness (Xiaomi Wear)
It's getting worse year by year. I think i will switch to another brand. I had 2,5 and now 8 and I miss the free customization and the 3rd party apps.
I'm very sorry, but don't forget that this is a bracelet, not a smartwatch.
Does it have nordic walking workout?
I think there is, but I haven't checked, there are more than 150 sports modes.
are mi band 9 have the sama strap technology, like we can use mi band strat to nex gen like this 9 gen
I didn't really understand what you meant.
The question is can we use the same wrist straps from the 8 with the 9.@@ministrytech
@@SusanDeJesus I don't remember exactly, but I think it's possible.

I think you can solve your problem, it will be beneficial for you.
I have the band 7, should I ?
I don't think so yet.
i stayed on my band 4 for the last 2 upgrades, and i always tell myself i will upgrade to the next... i am not waiting for 10 XD

@@jakubizdebski7177 maybe this is a sign to buy the 9th generation.
Why do I still prefer the band 8?
So tell me why then.
is xiaomi band 8 and 9 have the same strap?
yes, they have the same strap
Does it measure in miles
I'm not exactly sure, but I think you can set the units of measurement in the settings.
Still no GPS?
Unfortunately yes.
It's not launched in India. Will the application work if I import it from Singapore
I can't say for sure, I think it should work.
@@ministrytech have u tried importing from another country and using it in your own?
@@eklavayachopra8886 Well yes, everything works for me, only in the application settings you need to set the country to China.
@@ministrytech ooh. Should it be the country we imported from or China for everyone. Also when u changed the location, does it change the language too?
No, you can choose English as the language, but the location will be China.
how can I fix my mi band 7 even its full charge its drain na battery fast
I don't know what the reason is, try resetting the settings to factory settings.
How was it when wearing while swimming?
I haven't tested them in swimming since I don't swim, but I think they should be fine.
I have used Band 6 for swimming and its fine.
@@volaislive I think 9 won't be a problem either.
If it were released in the EU, the NFC version would definitely be an upgrade for my Band 8. Otherwise, it's a pass for me. Useful video though.
Thank you for your opinion, I agree with you.
No more 🔦🔦 for band 9 please ?? Band 8 got it and i use it every day 😅
great, I'm glad you made your choice!
I can’t tell which one is 8 or 9 you have to write on them
so they are almost identical.
This or Redmi watch 3 active?
Redmi watch 5 active
Came here because my mi band 8 has shut down and couldn't connect to the Bluetooth 😢
try resetting all settings and connecting again.
I'm on band 6 rn.. should i go for 9?
I think it's probably worth it.
Thank you for the info. I’ll wait till it comes out in the US
Thanks for your opinion, but it's better to wait.
I don't think it'll come in US, Aliexpress is the only way..
@@BRSPro You can already order it on Amazon.
If new one is 16% more accurate then next one how many percent ? Cant they give accurate reading in every model lol
It is better to ask these questions to the manufacturer himself
I bought an 8 in March

I agree, there haven't been any major changes yet.
Upgrading from band 5 to band 9
I think it is possible, since the battery on the 5th generation is not the same as it was before.
@@ministrytech for me the battery of my device was too good... It even lasts 6 days then and now. Only difference is I don't use alarms now!
@@sangeethc then you should think about whether it is worth updating.
@@ministrytech I already brought band 9 and I am happy with it's battery backup

Can xiaomi band 8 wrist straps be used on xiaomi band 9
yes you can use
Band 9 added more animations too
agree!
Band 8, have wrong heart sensor... not working correctly
Well, maybe the 9th generation will be better in this regard.
So i just got my band 9(bc mi band 8 died due to water damage) and i feel like the band 9 is smaller
I don't think so, they are identical.
Build in gps tracking?
Unfortunately no, only via a connected phone.
