What we propose today is simply a clash between little titans, on occasion of the launch of the new Band 7 Pro (presented together with the devices of the 12S range). Xiaomi Band 7 Pro vs Band 7 vs Band 6 NFC vs Band 6: four smartbands of the same series and an in-depth study to find out which fitness tracker is best suited to your needs, which ones are differences (in terms of specifications, features and price) e which choose to be more than satisfied!
Xiaomi Band 7 Pro vs Band 7 vs Band 6 NFC: what are the differences and which one to choose
Design, display and style
The starting point of our comparison is the design: a clash of looks between Xiaomi Band 7 Pro vs Band 7 vs Band 6/6 NFC. The latest incarnation of the Xiaomi fitness tracker is the 7 Pro model, a device that changes the cards on the table compared to what has been seen with all previous versions. The style is completely renewed and the design comes dangerously close to that of a smartwatch: those looking for the usual "capsule" body and small size will be disappointed. On the other hand, those who aim for novelty and love upheavals will find it very well, also by virtue of the technical innovations. In addition toAlways-On Display we finally have the double miracle: both the sensor for the brightness automatic and the GPS integrated! Do I dream or am I awake?
The Band 7 instead continues with the classic style capsule, although the size of the panel increases compared to the previous generation. The Always-On Display is introduced (so far always absent) and the larger screen allows you to view more details. The Italian version lacks NFC while in China two variants have been launched (with and without).
As for Xiaomi Band 6 NFC we have a larger display than the previous chapter, support for contactless payments and the presence of Alexa. Both this and the model 7 adopt the same style, but the newer version houses an enlarged screen and some improvements.
