Hi guys!

To those of you still wearing the Xiaomi Smart Band 7, how is its behavior after the launch of the Smart Band 8?
  • Back when I was wearing the Mi Band 4 and the Mi Band 5 was launched, an update on the Mi Band 4 drastically reduced it's battery life (from 15-20 days to 2-3 days, from what I remember).
  • Back when I was wearing the Mi Band 5 and the Mi Band 6 was launched, an update on the Mi Band 5 broke some of the functions (scheduled screen brightness, as I recall).
I am now considering the Smart Band 7 (I like it more than the Smart Band 8), but I wanted to know how it's behaving now that the Smart Band 8 has been released.

Thanks!

Don't update beyond 2.1.0.1... simple as that. Also, using Gadgetbridge proved much more beneficial for battery life of the band and the phone. Not to mention, privacy.
