Xiaomi Smart Band 11 vs Samsung Galaxy Fit3 specs comparison

Smart Band 11 is the better all-round buy, with longer battery life, sleep HRV and a larger AMOLED display. Galaxy Fit3 still works well for someone already deep in Samsung’s ecosystem, but its 13-day battery life and Android-only compatibility make it less flexible.
