In this Xiaomi Mi Band 6, the heart rate measurement has been improved, as well as the sleep measurement. Now the Mi Band is capable of recording the quality of breathing during sleep, as well as measuring the heart rate for 24 hours. Similarly, the Mi Band 6 is now capable of automatically detecting sports modes (running, cycling, elliptical, etc.). Finally, comment that this new bracelet is capable of measuring blood oxygen.

The charger is magnetic again, so we can charge the Mi Band without having to remove the body of the bracelet. Speaking of battery, there are small improvements. We went from 14 promised days to 19 , practically one more week of battery life. We will have to see how this figure is finally, but it certainly seems that great improvements will come.
