Xiaomi yesterday launched the Mi Band 6 in China. It is the successor of the Mi Band 5 and comes with the largest display ever seen on a Mi fitness Band. The Mi Band 6 boasts a massive 1.56-inch display which is around 0.46-inches larger than its predecessor. But the great thing is, the price of the Mi Band 6 is still in the same range as that of the Mi Band 5. Let’s take a look at all the specifications and price of Mi Band 6 and compare them with the Mi Band 5.
Mi Band 6 Vs Mi Band 5: Design
There is not much difference in design between the Mi Band 6 and the Mi Band 5. The only thing that’s different with the Mi Band 6 is its display size. Apart from that, the design of the watch panel and its strap remains the same. Let’s jump into the specifications of these fitness bands.

In terms of activities, the Mi Band 6 supports 30 sports modes and can intelligently track 6 activities, including running, walking, indoor treadmill, and cycling.
