More than a month after the big We met you at the Redmi launch with the Redmi Smart Band 2 activity bracelet. The domestically available Redmi Smart Band Pro has once again arrived in Europe with great qualities and prices. Or not...
Although I don't understand the raison d'être of this bracelet, only if the two bracelets have nothing to do with each other. A Redmi Smart Band Pro after this concrete step backwards. Here's why, in a few comparisons.
Screen
| Redmi Smart Band Pro | Redmi Smart Band 2 | |
| Resolution: | 194 x 368 pixels | 172 x 320 pixels |
| Frames per inch: | 282 ppi | 247 ppi |
| Brightness: | 450 nit, adjustable | 450 nit |
| Technology: | AMOLED | TFT |
In the case of the screen, it is clear that the Smart Band 2 "boasts" weaker data. It has better resolution, denser pixels in the same area and an ambient light sensor to adjust brightness. And thanks to AMOLED, it also consumes less power Smart Band Pro.
Size / weight
| Redmi Smart Band Pro | Redmi Smart Band 2 | |
| Height: | 42.05 mm | 42.81 mm |
| Width: | 24.45 mm | 25.42 mm |
| Thickness | 10.15 mm | 9.99 mm |
| Weight: | 15 g | 14.9 g |
The Redmi Smart Band 2 is bigger than its alleged predecessor, if you look at its footprint. However, it is thinner by 0.16 mm and lighter by 0.1 grams. That's a big improvement...
Sensors
| Redmi Smart Band Pro | Redmi Smart Band 2 | |
| Accelerometer | 3-axis accelerometer | accelerometer |
| Giroscope | 3-axis gyroscope | ⊗ |
| Heart rate | PPG heart rate sensor | PPG heart rate sensor |
| Light sensor | √ | ⊗ |
Is it really because of the 0.16 mm that two sensors were not included? Instead, it is becoming increasingly clear that the Redmi Smart Band 2 has nothing to do with the Redmi Smart Band Pro-to. That is, not to the extent that we could call it a successor. The gyroscope and light sensor really throw a lot at the Pro bracelet and you could argue that it would then be cheaper. Uh-huh, sure.
Price
- Redmi Smart Band Pro: 14.990 Ft
- Redmi Smart Band 2: 16.990 Ft
Summary
Although the Redmi Smart Band Pro is better than the Redmi Smart Band 2 in almost every way and even cheaper, I'd like to take a look at it to evaluate it based on personal experience. Advantages of the Band 2: thinner, lighter, newer Bluetooth. That's it. Until I've tested it, I don't want to comment any more. After that.
