The Mi Band 7, like the Huawei-made competitor, the Huawei Band 7, offers a mild upgrade over its predecessor.

However, there are a few changes like a bigger display, a bigger battery, and a heftier price than before.

The Mi Band 7 now joins the ever-growing list of fitness trackers that are available in 2022, many of which we’ve covered in our roundup of the best fitness trackers that you can buy today.
