Xiaomi Smart Band 8 Review: Does upgrading make sense?

Display

Equipped with a high-quality AMOLED display, the new smart band 8 offers a good user experience. Compared to previous Xiaomi smart band watches we have tested in the past, the display of this one is much more responsive and the transition between different screens is significantly smoother. In general, the experience was truly great.

With a screen brightness of maximum 600 nits, it effortlessly enables stress-free reading in outdoor settings, even under the harshest sunlight conditions. Just like previous smart band models, you have the option to select either manual or automatic brightness settings on your device. It is highly recommended to use the automatic option which utilizes the device’s light sensor to adjust brightness based on the surrounding conditions. This energy-saving feature helps extend battery life significantly.
