Specifications
The Realme Band features a 0.96-inch (2.4cm) colour TFT LCD panel that has 80×160 pixels resolution. The display features a touch button is kind of a let down. It also supports five-level brightness that can be adjusted through the Realme Link app. Further, the display panel wakes up with a lift of your wrist using the built-in gravity sensor similar to all other bands.
Pro’s
Minimalist sleek design looks cool on your hands. Pricing at Rs 1,499/- at Indian market should be working well for Realme as their competitor MI Band 4 is currently selling at Rs 2,299/-
The realme Band features a dedicated Cricket Mode, which has been designed specially for India.
The band comes with smart notifications and supports apps such as Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, and YouTube among others
Water alert and Ideal alert should be a happy inclusion in the Band.
Con’s
Button touch display is a let down as its competitors are providing full touch. Battery also goes on the weaker side as it hold 90 mAh, as officially Realme had claimed 9 days without heart rate function enabled; 6 days with heart rate function enabled.
Where as MI Band 4 hold for minimum 20 days. Also the realme Band can store any 3 out of 9 sport modes. For selecting a different sport, use the realme Link app.
Realme Band can withstand occasional dips in the water but cannot be used in Pool. Where as MI Band 4 can be used for swimming in the Pool.
Realme Band should be a good value for the Money, but will they be competitive against MI band 4 and Honor Band 5. Not Sure !!
