I was first introduced to Xiaomi in 2019, by way of the Mi Band 4; two years later, I’m still using the very same smart band and enjoying its excellent features. They’ve since come out with the latest version of the product: the Mi Band 6 boasts 60 fitness modes; heart rate, sleep, and stress monitoring; 50m water resistance; 14-day battery life; plus, six colours for you to choose from.
The best part? Despite being one of the most affordable fitness trackers on the market, it does the job (e.g. keeps track of your steps and calories burned) and so much more!

The Mi Box S is yet another of the most popular Xiaomi products in the Philippines. If a smart TV is not something you’re willing to spend on, the Mi Box S is enough to transform your television into one.
All you need to do? Plug the box into your HDMI slot, connect it to WiFi, and voila! You can stream on Netflix, YouTube; enjoy Chromecast; or even download your must-have apps. (As someone who owns one, I highly recommend it!)

If the Mi Box S is still out of your price range though, check out the Mi TV Stick — it’s almost ₱1,500 cheaper and does the job. To differentiate, the TV stick weighs less than 30g and can fit right inside your pocket; plus, you just have to plug and play, just like you would with the Mi Box S. You can definitely bring the Mi TV Stick with you on your travels, too!
