First of all, the Xiaomi Mi Band 6 has a design very similar to its predecessor, the Xiaomi Mi Band 5, with a common oval screen, and it is not surprising since they are made by the same company. However, the front screen design is more minimalistic now because they have eliminated the inverse U shape button and introduced smart gestures into it along with a full-screen display. Xiaomi Mi Band 6 Realme Band OPPO Band For its part, the Realme Band is a little different from the other two bands it is being compared to, and unlike them, which have an oval screen design, this Realme band has more rectangular, in addition to the fact that it is at the same level as the strap, and not a little higher than it as is usually seen in this type of device. Xiaomi Mi Band 6 Realme Band OPPO Band Lastly, we have the OPPO Band, of which it is worth noting that it is available in two different design versions: a very simple one with only a TPU strap and a second, more modern model with a metal ring. In this case, the screen of this one has a slightly squarer shape in both of its versions, and although the most modern model with the metal ring can look a little more formal and elegant, said ring can be a little annoying, so it is doubtful whether this is a functional addition or not. Xiaomi Mi Band 6 Realme Band OPPO Band Something they do have in common is that all their screens have the 2.5D glass arc that gives them a curve effect. I do notice that because of 2.5D Xiaomi Mi Band 6 and OPPO Band have a protrude screen which makes it easier to get scratches. Meanwhile, Realme Band which isn’t prone to scratches yet has much lesser chances of getting it due to the flat yet curved screen. I must say aesthetics do come at a cost and a screen protection film is recommended on both Mi Band 6 and OPPO Band. Let’s make this section of Xiaomi Mi Band 6 vs Realme Band vs OPPO Band a tie because each wearable is unique in its own way. The preference depends on the user’s choice. Flat display vs curved. As for someone like me, I love a full-screen display and a 2.5D curved design and that is why consider Xiaomi Mi Band 6 better in terms of design and appearance. Highlights: Go for Mi Band 6 if you love the full-screen display and capsule design. Go for Realme Band if you love a flat display and care about scratches. Winner: Tie Xiaomi Mi Band 6 vs Realme Band vs OPPO Band – Strap Comparison Going quickly to talk about the straps, the Xiaomi Mi Band 6 and Realme Band straps are made of pure silicone, while the straps of the devices made by OPPO are made of TPU. It is worth noting that the straps of all these wearables can be removed from the device at any time you want, either to exchange them or to wash them. In relation to their comfort, and because they are all made with materials of similar texture, they are very comfortable and soft to the touch. However, the clasp is the main focus here. Xiaomi Mi Band 6 has the push-to-lock button clasp which like the rest of the series loosens over time. The same goes for OPPO Band as well which also has the same locking mechanism. However, Realme Band has the traditional hook style clasp giving it a more traditional watch look, and has the best locking system. Your Realme Band won’t fall off in case of any pull or jerk. In terms of customization, Xiaomi Mi Band 6 has a ton of customizable bands available at an incredibly cheap price. What’s more is that the Band also supports Mi Band 3, 4, and 5 bands. Highlights: Grab Realme Band if you want a better lock mechanism and don’t want the band to fall off. Grab Xiaomi Mi Band 6 if you want a wide range of customizable bands Winner: Tie (Xiaomi Mi Band 6 and Realme Band) Xiaomi Mi Band 6 vs Realme Band vs OPPO Band – Screen & Display Comparison In relation to its screens, the Xiaomi Mi Band 6 has a 1.56-inch screen, the Realme Band with a 0.96-inch screen, and the OPPO Band with a 1.1-inch screen. Having said that, they are all based on AMOLED technology. Apart from this, Xiaomi Mi Band 6 has the highest resolution of them all (486 x 152 pixels), OPPO Band (126 x 294 pixels), and Realme Band with the lowest (160 x 80 pixels). Due to the size of its screen and almost 2x better resolution, this allows a better visualization, the Xiaomi Mi Band 6 takes the prize in this category of Xiaomi Mi Band 6 vs Realme Band vs OPPO Band. The new full-screen upgrade removing the front button makes the display much better than our other two competitors. Xiaomi Mi Band 6 Realme Band OPPO Band Winner: Xiaomi Mi Band 6 Xiaomi Mi Band 6 vs Realme Band vs OPPO Band – Hardware and Performance About the hardware and performance, the Xiaomi Mi Band 6 is equipped with a 6-axis motion sensor: 3-axis accelerometer + 3-axis gyroscope. The 3-axis accelerometer is responsible for sensing front, rear left, and right (three-dimensional space). Meanwhile, the three-axis gyroscope separates dynamic information that senses left and right tilt front and rear tilt, and left and right swing. On the other hand, the Realme Band and OPPO Band come with just a 3-axis motion sensor. With that being said, all three bands have NFC and a PPG sensor for HR detection and support abnormal heart rate alerts. The accuracy with be discussed in the features and function section. Xiaomi mentions that the PPG sensor has been upgraded in the Xiaomi Mi Band 6, making it more accurate than the previous generation. As for the algorithms which help in the accuracy of the measurements, we have the Xiaomi Mi Band 6 with the most updated algorithms. Another major update we see in the Mi Band 6 is the SpO2 sensor introduction. This is the first time the Mi band series is using a SpO2. Highlights: Consider Mi Band 6 if you want better hardware with the latest algorithm. If you want an additional SpO2 sensor, Mi Band 6 and OPPO Band, both are good options. Winner: Xiaomi Mi Band 6 Xiaomi Mi Band 6 vs Realme Band vs OPPO Band – Functions and Features Now, in this Xiaomi Mi Band 6 vs Realme Band vs OPPO Band comparison, we will go on to talk about the special functions that these three bands have.

Winner: Xiaomi Mi Band 6 Xiaomi Mi Band 6 vs Realme Band vs OPPO Band – App Comparison The Xiaomi Mi Band 6 uses the Mi Fit app, meanwhile, the Realme Band uses the Realme Link app and the OPPO Band uses the HeyTap Health app. Each app is unique in its own way. The UI also resembles each other in most parts. Mi Fit app Realme Link app HeyTap Health app I see a lot of people complain about the Xiaomi and Amazfit ads they see in Mi Fit. But for me, it’s completely fine. Winner: Tie Xiaomi Mi Band 6 vs Realme Band vs OPPO Band – Battery Comparison Speaking now about its battery, the Xiaomi Mi Band 6 has a 125mAh battery that gives the user a use of 14 days, although “19 days” if it is in saving mode, but this has only been clarified by its manufacturer. On the other hand, the Realme Band has a 90mAh battery that gives the user a use around 9 days with normal use. Lastly, the OPPO Band features a 100mAh battery that, by its manufacturer, generally gives the user 14 days of use.

Xiaomi Mi Band 6 uses the same magnetic charging technology as its predecessor ‘Mi Band 5’. This allows us the ease of not removing the main body from the strap for charging. However, that’s not the case with OPPO Band and Realme Band. Winner: Xiaomi Mi Band 6 (battery capacity and charging ease) / Realme Band (charging time) Xiaomi Mi Band 6 vs Realme Band vs OPPO Band – Price Comparison Xiaomi Mi Band 6 has a price of 229 Yuan ($35 USD) in China. Globally, it’s available for a price under $50 on stores like Aliexpress and Banggood.

Realme Band is the cheapest of them all with a price of 140 Yuan ($21). Considering the price only, Realme Band is the winner here. However, in terms of price/performance, Mi Band 6 is the winner. Winner: Realme band (price) / Xiaomi Mi Band 6 (price-performance ratio) Our Verdict Xiaomi Mi Band 6 (8 points) | Realme Band (5 points) | OPPO Band (2 points) *In case of a tie, 1 point given to each band* Overall winner: Xiaomi Mi Band 6 Concluding this Xiaomi Mi Band 6 vs Realme Band vs OPPO Band comparison, the Xiaomi Mi Band 6 takes first place, not only because it has a bigger screen, but also because is equipped with a 6-axis motion sensor, has SpO2, advanced sleep monitoring, and 30 sports modes and it also has more accurate readings. Realme Band for the price isn’t a bad choice either if one doesn’t care about SpO2 and flat-screen display. OPPO band looks like a lite version of Mi Band 6, which is also a good choice if you are tight on budget and want a SpO2 sensor as well.
