CONCLUSION:
Compared to last year’s showdown, both models have improved substantially to meet in the middle with a great set of features and an excellent battery life at a fair price.
Fit does better: Interface, notifications, strap, and sports modes
Mi Band does better: PAI, remote photo taking, price, more accurate HR
I think last year, the Mi Band 4 was a clear winner over the Galaxy Fit, especially when comparing prices. Now with these improvements, I think Samsung made a huge comeback, but accuracy is a big factor for me. Which do you prefer?

WHAT GEAR DO I USE?
Heart rate sensor: https://mikeobrienmedia.com/Polar-H10
(Polar H10 is known to be one of the most accurate in the industry and therefore acts as a great standard to which I compare smartwatch heart rate sensors)
