The new Mi Band 3 has arrived in India at a great price of Rs. 1,999 and it brings a new touchscreen, fitness features, notifications and more. But does it offer enough improvements to be worth an upgrade for someone who already owns a Mi Band 2? Well, that's the question we're going to answer here as we pit Xiaomi's latest fitness tracker, the Mi Band 3, against its predecessor. So, if you were wondering whether you should upgrade to a Mi Band 3 or stick with your Mi Band 2 (Rs. 1,799), let's find out whether the Mi Band 3 is a worthy upgrade or not:

Before we get into the real comparison, let's first check out the paper specifications. In the table below you will find everything you need to know about these two training bands:

At first glance, the Mi Band 3 looks almost exactly like the Mi Band 2, but look a little closer and you'll find that the Mi Band 3 brings a lot of changes. Firstly, the tracker on the Mi Band 3 is a little bigger and now has a rounded shape that differs from the flat shape that the Mi Band 2 has. Although the strap on the Mi Band 3 is made of similar thermoplastic elastomer material used in the Mi Band 2, somehow it feels a bit more solid and durable.

I also love the fact that Xiaomi has made it a bit more difficult to remove the tracker from the straps which will surely prevent accidental removal of the tracker. Overall, the Mi Band 3 is built very well and inspires more confidence when it comes to the device's durability than the Mi Band 2.
