YuFit Band vs Xiaomi MiBand: Which One is a Perfect Buy

Yu Tele-Ventures has introduced the YuFit for a price tag of Rs. 999, for the same price Xiaomi, has also launched the Mi Band in India recently. Yu tele-ventures have surely launched the YuFit band to take on MiBand. But with multiple brands entering India with their tracking Bands it becomes a tough choice for users to decide one among the competition. Currently Mi Band and yuFit are the only bands that are in a discussion so we are here with yet another which will help you guys decide the best one among these two. Do note Yu has partnered with Healthify Me for YuFit, while Xiaomi has introduced the MiBand on its Own.

Design: Thought there is nothing much to describe primarily about the design of any health band, The YuFit band needs a special mention for it's small OLED display that shows the details like the Time, Number of steps, etc. While the MiBand just has an LED notification light. Design wise both these bands looks very identical that come with a rubber band that can be adjusted according to the size of wrist. Not to forget Both of them have Waterproof protection, Although the rating of YuFit is not enclosed while the MiBand come with IP 67 rating.

Features/Functionalities: It's just the company that differ not the functionalities for fitness band; Same goes with these two bands as well. The primary purpose of the fitness band is to track the steps walked, sleep time, calories burnt, etc. But the Yu deploys some extra features to make it a standout,  As mentioned the YuFit can display incoming calls and Messages on its OLED display. The YuFit band comes preinstalled with an impressive feature that calculates the amount of calories you eat in single day, all you have to do just click an image of the food you are about to take and upload it to the app to find out the amount of calories the food contains. These kinds of features go missing in the MiBand.

App Compatibility:  Both these bands has their android apps that are well and good compatible with the app via Bluetooth and control via your smartphone. There are many IOS apps that are developed to work along with Fitness bands like these. The Healthify Me app does a better job when compared with MiApp, well the reason are mentioned in "features" area. 

Personal Trainer: This feature is just available for YuFit band. You can have a personal coach who will be training you in selected fields like a yoga instructor, a fitness trainer, Nutrition, etc. though this isn't free Yu/Micromax haven't mentioned about the pricing but the first 1000 buyers of the YuBand will get a free personal trainer. All you need to do beat the rush when it goes on sale and if you are lucky enough you can get yourself a free personal trainer. 

Battery: MiBand is here for a while now, and there are many review that are surfacing all over the internet, and it is nothing surprise if I say MiBand will last for 30 days. Yes, MiBand lasts for 30 whole days on a single charge. While the Yu haven't enclosed the battery capabilities of the YuFit band. But given the fact that it features an OLED display we pretty much can expect the battery capacity to be higher than MiBand.  

Verdict: On Comparing The features and functionalities of both these Fitness bands we feel the YuFit has an edge over the MiBand, But we can be wrong as the device isn't out yet. But as for now YuFit beats the Miband well at least on paper for now. Stay tuned for us for more comparisons like this.

Features of HTC One M9 Smartphone

Gone are the days where you had to worry about the performance of your mobile. Thanks to the high sizes of RAMs, performance in the smartphones has increased a lot where they are on par with the performance of a laptop or desktop. HTC One M9, one of the recent launches from HTC is no less than stunning. It is packed with a collection of specifications to deliver performance in the best way possible. Here are some of the coolest features of the HTC one M9.

Quick Charge 2.0: HTC one M9 features Quick Charge 2.0 technology. It enables the phone to charge 60 % quicker than any other smartphones that were released prior to HTC one M9. When the battery falls under 10%, it provides you an option to use the mobile for hours after charging it for a meager 15-30 minutes.

Micro SD Card & Storage: One of the coolest features of HTC one M9 is that it supports Micro SD card, unlike iPhones and Galaxy S6 Duo. The memory is expandable to up to 128 GB besides the internal storage of 32 GB and 3 GB RAM. In addition to this, it also supports the new San Disk 200 GB Micro SD Card. In terms of cost of memory, HTC One M9 is cheaper and better than the iPhones. It also offers 100 GB cloud storage in the prestigious Google Drive. And one thing that we did notice is that M9 slows down when a high memory Micro SD card is inserted into a lot of content.

Performance: The HTC One M9 is the second smartphone that is powered by Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 810 processor. There were rumors about the massive heating of the processor before launching the phone, but as per the user reviews it looks like those rumors are baseless. All smartphones get heated to an extent, but HTC One M9 does not get heated to a point where it is unsafe and too hot to use. And it does get too hot only either during heavy multitasking or while playing high graphical games.

However, The 64-bit octa- core chipset has four 2.0GHz Cortex-A53 processors and four 1.5GHz Cortex-A53 processors.

Camera: Unlike its predecessors, the HTC One M9 has a 20.7 MP primary camera that is powered by Toshiba Sensor and the front facing camera is 4MP, which is powered by Ultra Pixel Sensor. In optimum light conditions, the output of photos is impressive. In low light conditions, it does not take pictures worth the money you spent on this phone. In whole, the camera is better than other smartphones released in the market in the price range of 40k to 50k.

Software: The software in HTC One M9 is powered by the Android Lollipop and the HTC Sense UI 7.0. HTC has customized the Lollipop a little and the themes can be installed to customize even more as you wish. The 5 inch full HD display provides you an excellent reading and video experience for hours as the battery of 2840mAh is utilized well by the software without any hindrance.
