Review on Smart bracelet Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4 RU, black by Micha Dbrowski ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent product, the best quality.

The Mi Band 5 NFC is now in sight. However, at present it is not compatible with Mi Pay (you will supposedly have to wait till the new year). A further distinction between the "four" and the "five" is a slight increase in autonomy (by roughly a quarter). And that's a big boon for a lot of people. In a nutshell, if you're sick of (ruinously) waving your smartphone around, start saving money and making purchases. Don't try to save money by purchasing a fake Chinese product. You'll need to make use of a third-party mod instead. Don't forget that you'll have to give him access to your finances. By the way, it is more secure to attach cards that aren't your primary method of payment to the bracelet; instead, you should issue virtual (or supplementary) cards and establish your restrictions on those. Such openings can be found at some of the listed banks.

Pros
  • Benefit from a fitness tracker from Xiaomi and a token that can hold up to six different MasterCards. The second reason is why I decided to make the purchase. It will still function even if your phone doesn't have NFC. You can sidestep the need for a "high" level of Android proficiency. In order to "restore" your account on a "old" device, you must first set up your account on a current device, link your cards, and then "restore" your account. A phone is not required to make a purchase while using a bracelet. They also have a low payment threshold.
Cons
  • In order to link cards, users who already have a Mi account must remove it and create a new one. It only works with a handful of 2022 banks at the moment. Therefore, if your bank is not on the list from Mi Pay, do not assume that it will operate with your MasterCard. Even if the issuing bank for a Visa card is on the approved list, the card itself will not be accepted. Additionally, the binding must be finalized before the end of 2022 (after the binding, the token will function in one foreign country but not another). You may have trouble getting assistance setting up Mi Pay from the call centers of some of the listed banks because they are unaware of the bank's partnership with Mi Pay. Find out what needs to be installed and how by searching online. It's true that all the banks (with the exception of the RSHB) we bound together successfully. The latter required accommodating activities like "not in 2022" and "make purchases on the Internet" within specified parameters. It's a bad you can't change the card colors and names in the app. Renaming the maps is a great idea, by the way.
