In the 2014 Xiaomi New Product Release, the Xiaomi bracelet, which has been exposed for a long time, seems to be a supporting role of Xiaomi Mobile 4. With the extremely low price of 79 yuan and Lei Jun's grand wish, Xiaomi bracelet is the real protagonist.
On《 It's not just a smart device Xiaomi bracelet 》The appearance and internal hardware of the Xiaomi bracelet have been introduced in detail in. This article is no longer cumbersome. Many people in Weibo said that the Xiaomi bracelet is ugly, but it is actually a core, with different accessories, wristbands and necklaces of different colors and even materials, and only 79 yuan, which is not an unforgivable disadvantage.
It has been mentioned above that the millet bracelet is essentially a separation of the core and the wrist strap, and there are no restrictions on the installation, so such a strange combination can occur. Due to the material of both, the combination of the core and the wrist strap is also troublesome and laborious. However, the Xiaomi bracelet boasts a standby life of 30 days, which is not a big problem if it is true.
But what is more troublesome is that the wrist strap of Xiaomi bracelet is hard to buckle, and the installation can only be completed with pain in one hand. The weaker sister basically needs help from others. The wrist strap of Xiaomi bracelet is made of American Dow Corning TPSiV material, which has good allergy resistance and elasticity. In fact, no trace was left when the nail was scraped hard. The specific durability needs to be determined after a long time of use. However, wrist straps made of rubber like this one are easy to absorb dust.
The most frequently asked question after the release of Xiaomi bracelet is whether it can check the time, and the answer is no. The surface of Xiaomi bracelet is made of aluminum alloy, and has been polished and sandblasted. There is no trace in the actual use of nail scraping. The specific future will use hard objects such as keys for durability testing. It also uses laser micro perforation technology to punch 91 0.02mm holes in each circular area with a diameter of 1mm, forming three groups of indicator lights. Three groups of indicator lights can be customized through the matching app, with a total of four color choices.
The functions of these three groups of indicators are also relatively simple. At present, according to the goals you set and the degree of completion, you can carry out the corresponding indication display and basic prompt functions. It can be said that the sense of presence is not too obvious, and the functions realized can be basically ignored.
To realize the binding and personalized customization function of Xiaomi bracelet, mobile app binding is necessary. In the equipment requirements for Xiaomi bracelet packaging, Xiaomi mobile phones with Android 4.4 and above system and supporting Bluetooth 4.0 are required. However, in the actual test, as long as Android 4.4 and Bluetooth 4.0 are met, all phones can support it. Of course, it still needs Xiaomi Mobile 4 and Xiaomi Mobile 3 to unlock mobile phones without password.
To use the Xiaomi bracelet app for the first time, you need to bind the MIUI account and go through a series of personal information settings. On the whole, the design of Xiaomi bracelet app is relatively fashionable and technologically advanced, with certain interactive changes. It is above the average in smart bracelet apps.
Of course, height, weight and age must be set.
The main function of Xiaomi bracelet is actually to record, which is to record the steps, walking distance and corresponding calories consumed, as well as the sleep time.
Xiaomi bracelet app is not very different from other smart bracelet apps in displaying daily activity records. It is displayed through bar charts and has relevant detailed data. You can switch between days, weeks and months for comparison. In particular, the Xiaomi bracelet app will automatically convert the corresponding food when the actual walking distance, steps and calories are used, which can be regarded as an obvious comparative incentive.
The Xiaomi bracelet has no physical keys or various action switches such as tapping. It can automatically recognize sleep without manual switching. This function is also very special in the smart bracelet. According to my initial use, the automatic sleep recognition of Xiaomi bracelet is judged by motion sensors. As shown in the figure above, the millet bracelet is automatically recognized as sleeping when it is left standing on the desktop.
Xiaomi bracelet provides the corresponding vibration reminder function, and of course, there are more common intelligent alarm clocks. The intelligent alarm clock is to try to vibrate and remind people in shallow sleep, so as to make them less angry when getting up. Of course, the intelligent alarm clock can also be set and controlled independently for different alarm clocks. Similarly, the Xiaomi bracelet can also vibrate to remind unknown calls and other functions.
At present, the functions that Xiaomi bracelet has realized are quite few and simple, as shown in the figure above, which are also some functions such as target setting, indicator color and call reminder.
Interestingly, Xiaomi Bracelet App can share relevant sports data socially, and can bind with WeChat to achieve certain ranking, so as to activate and realize certain social functions. In fact, it can stimulate some awareness of competition and contrast, which can also be regarded as a manifestation of stimulating and strengthening sports. Unfortunately, the social function of Xiaomi bracelet app can also be ignored. Currently, it only provides WeChat friend data ranking and real-time data query.
The biggest highlight and most interesting function of the Xiaomi bracelet is that the bracelet is unlocked. Currently, the bracelet only supports Xiaomi mobile phone 4 and Xiaomi mobile phone 3, and needs to upgrade the Android version 4.4 MIUI. Of course, it is not possible to realize this function. In fact, it is essentially to bind the millet bracelet one-to-one through the MIUI account, and use Bluetooth connection to determine whether it is close to identify.
Of course, the more important duty of this function is to realize the personal ID identity. Lei Jun said at the press conference that the personal ID identity realized by Xiaomi bracelet can not only realize password free unlocking, but also be linked with smart homes such as routers. In other words, the real function of Xiaomi bracelet is more like the starting key of smart home, which is bound and started by ID identity.
Of course, from my personal point of view, taking Xiaomi router as the smart home center and assisting Xiaomi mobile phones has already been able to drive the functional linkage and integration of Xiaomi products. The Xiaomi bracelet has achieved more equipment access and initial penetration at a low price. If the function of starting key of smart home can be realized, the Xiaomi bracelet is an extremely important and critical part.
Adhering to the low price strategy of Xiaomi, the debut of Xiaomi bracelet with a price of 79 yuan has shocked many manufacturers of smart bracelets. Although the main functions of the Xiaomi bracelet are basically similar to those of common smart bracelets, the Xiaomi bracelet will have more functions in the future with its long product line and underlying support.
Of course, at present, the most significant function is the unlocking free function with the Xiaomi mobile phone, which is behind the ID identity mentioned by Lei Jun in the press conference. With this function, you can turn the millet bracelet into the starting key of smart home and even the whole smart life. Of course, the wish is very grand. To realize it, it depends on the future.
Is millet bracelet worth buying? As far as the price of 79 yuan is concerned, the function that Xiaomi bracelet can achieve is basically the function that smart bracelets have, but the price is enough for many people to decide. Whether for Xiaomi mobile phone users or those who have not tried the smart bracelet, the low price of 79 yuan is enough to stir up a taste of new things.
