    Xiaomi Smart Band 9

    Grâce à Xiaomi France et Sampleo, j’ai eu l’opportunité de tester le nouveau Smart Band 9.

    J’ai actuellement une smartwatch d’une autre marque et elle est bien, mais elle commençait à me frustrer. Quand j’ai vu que ce programme était proposé sur Sampleo, j’ai été très heureuse, c’était vraiment le bon moment.

    Quelles sont les raisons qui m’ont poussé à acheter ce bracelet intelligent ? L’été, je ne suis pas aussi active que lorsque l’école est ouverte. Je marche jusqu’à l’école pour aller chercher et déposer les enfants et maintenant que mon fils est au collège et qu’il a un horaire différent de celui de sa sœur, il y a encore plus de marche à faire. Ce bracelet intelligent est de la même marque que mon téléphone. J’ai actuellement un Redmi Note 10 Pro que j’espère mettre à niveau cette année car il commence à prendre de l’âge. Je vais enfin pouvoir utiliser Mi Fitness pour suivre mes habitudes de sommeil et mes pas. Ma smartwatch avait sa propre application que l’on pouvait connecter à Google Fit, mais elle ne suivait pas tout.

    D’abord le bon côté, le bracelet est léger et très confortable à porter, dormir en le portant est si facile, je me souviens rarement qu’il est là. Il est étanche, donc pas besoin de l’enlever pour prendre une douche, se laver le visage ou se faire surprendre par la pluie. Il suit mon rythme cardiaque, mes pas, mon niveau de stress et bien d’autres choses encore. Apparemment, je suis toujours stressée 😅 pas d’inquiétude, il y a une option de soulagement du stress qui vous aide à pratiquer la respiration consciente.

    Maintenant les frustrations, puisque ce bracelet se connecte à Mi Fitness, j’ai découvert que Mi Fitness ne synchronise pas les passifs avec Google Fit, il synchronisera le sommeil et l’entraînement mais pas les pas, ce qui est une vraie déception pour moi puisque la majorité de mon activité physique tout au long de la journée provient des passifs.

    Lorsque je quitte la maison, si je ne sélectionne pas l’entraînement de marche, mes pas ne sont pas automatiquement synchronisés avec Google Fit, ce qui me déplaît totalement car je ne me souviens pas toujours de le faire.

    Personnellement, le fait de devoir marcher avec mon téléphone partout où je vais pour que Google Fit enregistre mes pas est ennuyeux et, à moins de trouver un moyen pour que Mi Fitness synchronise les pas avec Google Fit sans une application tierce, je ne me sens pas à l’aise pour le recommander à quelqu’un qui cherche un simple bracelet de fitness.

  • My New Phone

    My New Phone

    Hello, my lovelies!

    At long last, my new phone is finally here!!

    I think it was two weeks ago I ordered my phone and these past weeks were torture, I am not the most patient person and I really wanted to be able to talk to my family without cutting the conversation short to charge my phone. I would just sit and wait and wait for some kind of answer as to just when exactly I would receive my phone. Like a week after I ordered it, or rather my husband ordered it for me 😊 he told me I would get it the next week. The next week came and I was still phone less the date was changed to the next week!

    So the week it was supposed to be delivered we got the paper in the mailbox to pick it up at the post office hooray!! My husband went to the post office pretty much straight from work and they were closed! It was soul-crushing because I had been there earlier in the day with my son on a class trip. We’d have to get it the next day and finally on Saturday I got my Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 in my hands and it was beautiful.

    Neptune Blue

    I bought the 32GB model in Neptune Blue, first of all, let me just say that purple is my favorite color and as soon as I saw that purple I knew this was the phone I would go with. The phone is very responsive but you have to remember that my last phone was 5 years old so my new phone is probably not that fast but compared to the old one it was lightning to me. It charges fast and I don’t have to be attached to my charging cable just to make a phone call, I haven’t actually made a call with my phone yet, I just don’t have anyone who calls me other than my parents and they haven’t called yet so I can’t talk about the quality of a call.
    I really like the fingerprint scanner, my old phone Huawei P8 Lite 2015 didn’t have one so this is like fancy stuff for me, I also have my usual pattern code and tap to wake. I really like tap to wake when I’m doing something and get distracted for a bit and want to go back to doing what I was originally doing on my phone.

    Oh and my most favorite aspect! I found this gem when looking for a way to block a phone number, I get A LOT of calls from unknown numbers and they annoy the hell out of me so this is heaven-sent!

    Block private numbers? ✔ yes, please!
    Block unknown numbers? ✔ yes, please!

    I don’t know why this isn’t standard procedure, if you want to call me you should text me first so I can know who you are, I treasure my private life and my phone number is part of my private life.

     I haven’t really gotten to play with the camera too much, I’ve been sick and only to the school to drop my son and back, feels like I’ve been inside for a month, to be honest.

    This was the first photo I took with my phone, I didn’t know there would be a watermark until after I took the picture.

    If you want to remove the Watermark it’s as simple as going into your Camera Settings and finding the option that says Dual camera watermark. I’m looking forward to going out and finding things to take a picture of, I miss being excited to take out my phone or camera and hope that I can find that passion again.

    In case you were wondering, you can find the specs of my phone here at  GSMARENA.

    It really is a great phone and if you’re thinking of getting one for yourself it’s not too expensive at 199,99€. It’s a pretty sweet deal if you’re on a budget like myself if you’re looking for something with a little more storage I heard there was a 64 GB version but it’s not Globally available as yet.

    Alright, then my lovelies, time for me to discover even new features hidden in my phone!

    Until next time!
