Click on that will bring you the next screen.

Can Mi Band work with my smartphone? Check before you buy!!!

Don't assume that Mi Band will work with any phone. To the surprise of many, Mi Band will not work with some of its own's companies' phone!!!

Rule of thumb, if the device has Bluetooth 4.0, most probably it is supported.

Self tested:

• NO: iPhone 4 or generations before - It will not work. Although you can install the Mi Fit app into your phone, it would not be able to pair or detect the exisiting of your Miband. 
• NO: RedMi Note (3G)

How long can Miband Last?

From my first charge until now, it can last for 47 days and I still have 1% battery left.

Below is my screenshot of my phone's MI FIT App:

I used basic with silent alarm at the beginning then grow into Phone alert. Wearing it 24 hours x 7 days a week for 47 days !!! Some might think I'm crazy.. but I found it very useful.

So now, I modify the MI BAND's feature to the below:
