The chinese version of Mi Fit offers additional functions
I’ve already spent a few words about the Xiaomi Mi Band 1s, the fantastic bracelet for the fitness low-cost, but with a very high quality, and I have discovered that there is a full version that includes some additional features than those present in the downloadable version from the Play Store.
In this article I will describe in order all the features that I have not already expressed in my previous review, that is, the function running, weight control, and at the end I will explain how to install it.
All the rest is unchanged, as the control of sleep, count steps, etc…
It is possible to note that, despite the version number is always 1.8.711 the menu contains more options and allows interfacing to multiple devices such as the Mi Scale, the smart kid scale made by Xiaomi, and another thing that I did not understand what it is. From the picture I can assume some sensor, similar to Nike+ that you fasten to your shoes.
It is important to clarify that all of the items that we find are not all translated in Italian, we can find some in English and others in chinese.
Running
From the interface of the daily count of the steps command appears in the Running that is accessing the screen, useful for training. From here, you can set up alerts to any number of kilometres travelled, and the warning in the case that the heart rate exceeds a threshold, all accompanied by the tracking with the smartphone’s GPS. The cardiac monitoring will remain constant for the whole phase of the training, for which the council put Me in the Band office before the training session.
Weight control
Another interesting function that allows you to set another goal to achieve: weight. You can enter the weight manually, or (I believe) automatically with the use of the Mi Scale. The indicators also show the BMI, then it also calculated the body mass index.
Installation
To run the installation, it is necessary that in the settings of Android are enabled on the installations of app from a third party (unknown Sources in Security)
- Open the app MiFit and, by ensuring the presence of the network, let’s make it sync with the Mi Band
- Uninstall the app, taking care to clear the data and cache
- Download the apk from the official site of the chinese Xiaomi by clicking on the green button with the chinese written shown in figure
ATTENTION: The app full downloadable from the website is available in chinese only.Full version Italian can be downloaded from here: Download I Fit 1.8.711 full italian
Note: New full version of I Fit: it’s all in chinese
- After downloading the app to open it with a file manager to install it
- At startup we insert our data access so as to recover all of our old data
For the update, we don’t have to rely on the Play Store, but we have to update it through the app MiFit same, in this way, we will pull down the new full version (when available). Just go to Menu > Profile > Information > Check for updates, run a check.
If you are interesting of this product, you can purchase it on Amazon. I highly recommend it.
I bought it for pure curiosity and I was fully satisfied. His cost is ridiculous, and its utility, you’ll see it straight away.
