Review on Smart bracelet Xiaomi Mi Band 2, black by Aneta Zubrzycka ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

The product does not match the description, poor quality.

CONTINUED "DISADVANTAGES": However, if all your contacts in your smartphone are named briefly, such as: "Masha", "Petya", "Klava", etc., then this is not a problem for you; I also suspect that if the contacts in the smartphone are in Latin, then there will not be such a problem either, probably. It's a pity, I have a Xiaomi smartphone, I hoped that the Xiaomi bracelet would fit perfectly. Instead, I spent several hours trying to figure out why some calls are transferred to the bracelet, while others are ignored. As they say: "Thank you to the developers of the Xiaomi bracelet (and its application) for an interesting time. There were a few more glitches, but it's possible that I just didn't understand the settings, there was no time anymore - I got carried away first by "ignoring calls", and then returning the bracelet to the store.

Pros
  • Price, strap, appearance, fast charging, steps count well; you raise your hand - it itself lights up what time it is on the bracelet (meaning this function works correctly, which is not often seen). A small bracelet, you almost don’t feel it, my wrist is not big - it fastens and sits perfectly. The pulse "counts" correctly and quickly. Intuitive bracelet control system - one button.
Cons
  • The fact that the "incoming call notification" function is not friendly with the Cyrillic alphabet did not particularly surprise me; should show on the bracelet the first four letters of the name of the one who calls you, but shows four question marks - if the contact name in the phone's phone book is written in Cyrillic. But what really surprised me was that if the name of the caller in the phone book is longer than ten characters, then a "glitch" appears - the bracelet does not see this incoming phone call at all (from the word "completely"): it does not vibrate, does not show anything as if the call did not exist. For example: if a person calls me, who is recorded as "Semyon" in the smartphone's contact book, then the notification of the incoming call is transmitted to the bracelet - honestly, vibration is turned on and either the image of the handset or four question marks (because remember - the Cyrillic bracelet does not understand). Further, attention (!) Rename the same contact in the phone book of the smartphone to "Semyon Semenych" and that's it - under no settings of the bracelet and smartphone, the call will be transferred to the bracelet - no vibration, no image - nothing at all; some algorithm to ignore names longer than ten characters is triggered. The same is true for incoming SMS notifications. Perhaps this is also somehow connected with the Cyrillic alphabet. But I didn’t understand further - I returned the bracelet back to the store.
