Xiaomi’s smart scales are no longer just a weight measurement device, and today they are full-fledged fitness trackers that can analyze body composition, sync with mobile apps, and even give personalized nutrition recommendations. But how do you make sense of the variety of models the brand offers? From the budget Mi Smart Scale 2 to the advanced Xiaomi Body Composition Scale 3, each version has its own unique features and is designed for different purposes.
In this article, we will take a closer look at all of Xiaomi’s current smart scales, their specifications, pros and cons, what parameters each version measures, how they integrate into the Mi Home ecosystem, and what to look for when buying them, and if you already own such scales, you will find useful tips for setting and operating them.
1.Why has Xiaomi’s smart scale become so popular?
Xiaomi entered the smart gadget market with a strategy that was familiar to them: to offer a quality product at an affordable price. The first scales, launched under the Mi brand, quickly gained popularity due to a combination of accuracy, functionality and minimalist design. But what exactly made them so popular?
First, ecosystem integration. Xiaomi scales are easily synchronized with Mi Fit (now Zepp Life) to track the dynamics of changes in the body, set goals and get analytics. Second, the wide functionality: besides weight, modern models analyze fat percentage, muscle mass, body water level and even bone density. Finally, the design and build quality — glass surface, compact dimensions and reliable sensors make them not only useful, but also stylish accessories for the home.
- 📱 Synchronization with applications: data is automatically transmitted to the smartphone via Bluetooth.
- 📊 Detailed analytics: tracking 10+ body parameters (depending on the model).
- 👨👩👧👦 Multiplayer mode: up to 16 profiles on a single scale.
- 🔋 Long life: The battery lasts 6-12 months for daily use.
⚠️ Note: Not all Xiaomi smart scales support body measurements in children under 10 years of age. Use a specialized baby scale or consult a pediatrician for accurate child measurements.
2.A review of all Xiaomi smart scale models in 2026
Xiaomi’s smart scale range includes both budget and premium devices, and the latest models available in the market, with their key features, are listed below.
| Model | Supported parameters | Max, load. | Type of food | Price (exemplary) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mi Smart Scale 2 | Weight, BMI | 150 kg | 4×AAA | 1 500–2 000 ₽ |
| Xiaomi Mi Body Composition Scale 2 | Weight, fat mass, muscle mass, water, bones, viscous mass, BMI, basic metabolism | 150 kg | 4×AAA | 2 500–3 500 ₽ |
| Xiaomi Smart Scale 2 (with display) | Weight, BMI, fat mass, muscle mass | 150 kg | Lithium-ion battery | 3 000–4 000 ₽ |
| Xiaomi Body Composition Scale 3 | 13 parameters (including viscous mass, protein, skeletal muscle mass) | 200 kg | Lithium-ion battery | 4 500–6 000 ₽ |
The most budget model - Mi Smart Scale 2 - is suitable for those who need only basic functionality: weight measurement and BMI calculation. But Xiaomi Body Composition Scale 3 - this is a professional device with advanced analytics, which will be appreciated by an athlete or a person seriously engaged in their health.
3. What is the difference between scales with and without display?
One of the key questions when choosing is whether you need a model with a built-in screen. A scale without a display (such as the Mi Smart Scale 2) transfers all the data exclusively to the app on your smartphone. This is convenient if you always carry the phone with you, but can cause inconvenience if you want to see the result immediately.
Display models (such as the Xiaomi Smart Scale 2 with a screen) show the basic parameters right on the scales: weight, fat percentage, muscle mass. This is useful for quick control, but such devices are usually more expensive and require recharging (unlike batteries in models without a screen).
- 📵 No display: cheaper, longer without replacing batteries, all data in the phone.
- 📺 Display: More convenient for quick viewing, but more expensive and require charging.
💡
If you're looking for a scale with a display, look at the brightness of the screen. Some models don't read well in bright sunlight.
4.How to set up Xiaomi smart scales: step-by-step instructions
Setup Xiaomi smart scales take no more than 5-10 minutes. To do this, you will need a smartphone with installed Mi Fit app (or Zepp Life for new models) and access to Bluetooth.
Algorithm of action:
- Install batteries (or charge scales if the model has a battery).
- Download and install the Mi Fit app (App Store/Google Play).
- Sign up or sign in to your Xiaomi account.
- Turn on Bluetooth on your smartphone and launch the app.
- Click Profile → Add the device → Libra.
- Follow the instructions on the screen: stand on the scale, wait for synchronization.
☑️ Preparation for the first weighing
If the scales are not connected, check:
- 🔋 Battery charge (or batteries).
- 📶 Distance to smartphone (no more than 10 meters).
- 🔄 Reboot Bluetooth on your phone.
⚠️ Warning: When you first weigh in, enter your exact height, age and gender in the app, and then you calculate your BMI and other parameters, and if you put the wrong data, the analytics will be distorted.
5. Measurement accuracy: myths and reality
Many users question the accuracy of smart scales, especially when it comes to analyzing body composition, so let's see how reliable the indicators are.
Weight is measured with high accuracy — the error is usually less than ±50 grams. But parameters like percentage of fat or muscle mass can vary depending on:
- 🕒 Time of day (morning and evening indicators may differ).
- 💧 Hydration level (after heavy drinking, fat data may be underestimated).
- 🏋️ Physical activity (after training, muscle mass temporarily increases due to a rush of blood).
For maximum accuracy:
- Weigh yourself at the same time (better in the morning on an empty stomach).
- Use scales on an empty stomach and after using the toilet.
- Compare dynamics, not absolute values.

6. Compatibility with other devices and applications
Xiaomi smart scales work perfectly not only with the Mi Fit/Zepp Life app, but also with other health services:
- 🍎 Apple Health (for iPhone).
- 🤖 Google Fit (for Android).
- 📈 Yandex.Health (for users of the Yandex ecosystem).
- 🏃 Strava, MyFitnessPal (for athletes).
To sync your data with Apple Health:
- Open Mi Fit.
- Go to Profile → Settings → Linked accounts.

The algorithm is similar for Google Fit, and if you use the Xiaomi Mi Band or other gadgets of the brand, all the data will be collected in one place: in the Zepp Life app.
💡
Synchronizing with Apple Health and Google Fit allows you to automatically transfer weight data to other fitness apps, making it easier to monitor progress.
7. Frequent problems and their solutions
Even the most reliable devices sometimes fail, and here are the most common problems and ways to fix them:
| Problem. | Possible cause | Decision |
|---|---|---|
| Libras not included | Batteries are discharged / battery is down | Replace the batteries or charge the device |
| Not synchronized with the phone. | Bluetooth is off or the scales are not paired | Reboot Bluetooth, reconnect the scales in the app |
| Showing the wrong weight | Uneven surface or calibration failure | Put the scales on a flat floor, perform calibration (stand up and go 2-3 times) |
| No data is stored. | Problems with the account or application | Update the app, check the authorization in your Xiaomi account |
If the scales stopped correctly measuring body composition, try:
- Update the firmware through the Mi Fit app.
- Reset the weight settings (press the reset button on the back for 5 seconds).
- Remove and re-add the device in the application.
⚠️ Warning: If after resetting the scales stopped synchronizing, check if it has changed MAC-In some cases, you will have to manually remove an old device from the Bluetooth list on your smartphone.
