The market for smart bracelets today is crowded, but there are still watch models that are the most

popular due to the price/quality ratio.At the moment, among all the accessories from Samsung, the Galaxy Fit e is the most affordable. Let's compare it with the recently announced Xiaomi Mi Band 4.

Comparison between Galaxy Fit e and Mi Band 4

Samsung Galaxy Fit e is part of the newlines of fitness accessories along with Watch Active and Galaxy Fit. Today it is the most affordable fitness tracker that Samsung has released to the market. Mi Band 4 was introduced relatively recently, but there is no reason to doubt its popularity.

Mi Band 4 comes with several newfeatures including the ability to track movements while swimming. And in the market, both of these bracelets will compete with each other. Mi Band 4 released in two models in China — with and without NFC. In China, Xiaomi offers the ability to make payments via AliPay and WeChat Pay using the NFC version of the Mi Band 4.

Feature Comparison

Samsung Galaxy Fit e has the following dimensions: 16.0 x 40.2 x 10.9 mm. Their weight is only 15 grams without strap. Samsung emphasizes that the fitness tracker is ultra lightweight and comes with military grade MIL-STD-810G. Military-grade durability means that the device has been tested for fall, environmental impact, etc.

The accessory also has a water resistance indicator.5ATM, which means that it is reliably protected from water even at a depth of 50 meters when immersed for 10 minutes. That is, during the voyage, do not worry.

Mi Band 4 is also waterproof, withIt can dive to a depth of 50 meters. There are built-in sensors for detecting various types of sports modes, activity and swimming movements. The previous version of Mi Band 3 could not be used to track the float.

Samsung says the Galaxy Fit e canbe used to track over 90 activities, including automatic detection of workouts such as running, machines, walking, etc., and also supports sleep tracking with continuous heart rate monitoring.

With Mi Band 4, Xiaomi introduced the new voiceassistant Xiao AI to manage a fitness tracker for voice commands, although for us it is generally not relevant. Mi Band 4 also supports a huge number of different dials.

What is better to buy?

Both devices have a similar design, similarfunctional features. However, there are some nuances. For example, the Samsung accessory seems more compact, plus it has a more elaborate strap clasp (the tip of the strap is hidden inside, and not outside like the Mi Band 4). Although this is an insignificant detail, it still plays an important role in terms of the ease of use of the bracelet. If we are talking about sizes again, then a bracelet from Xiaomi will fit harmoniously on a large man’s hand, and a watch from Samsung will fit harmoniously on a woman’s hand.

Of course, the Chinese one has a color displayaccessory — another major advantage. Plus, it’s touch-sensitive, which means controlling the watch is much easier and more comfortable, which can’t be said about the Galaxy Fit e. The fitness bracelet from Samsung does not have the ability to interact with touch. You will have to control the clock by tapping on the screen, which is not always convenient and stable in operation.

We can say the same about time.battery life. The Chinese bracelet is here again in leadership positions with a good margin. But Galaxy Fit e does not work for very long, especially if the function of constant heartbeat monitoring is activated. 3 days maximum.

To summarize

The main advantages of Xiaomi Mi Band 4 —comfortable control, good battery life, accurate analysis of your activity over 24 hours, a large number of interchangeable straps and bracelets are offered.

What are the good Samsung Galaxy Fit-e? More compact size, ideal for a small hand, synchronization with the Samsung Health + application, participation in competitions, automatic recording of training.

The price of Xiaomi Mi Band 4 and Samsung Galaxy Fit-e in Russia is around 3,000 rubles, plus or minus a few hundred depending on the store. I think that the choice here will be obvious in favor of the Chinese.
