Xiaomi Smart Band 11 series could bring four models, including Ceramic and Metal editions

Xiaomi is working on the Smart Band 11, as the device has surfaced on the floor via the Xiaomi Health Research App. The reveal shows the design of the fitness band and confirms that the company will offer more versions this time.

According to the app listing, the Xiaomi Band 11 series will include four models. There will be a standard version and an NFC model, along with a ceramic edition and a model with an all-metal body. The metal version is the main new addition to the lineup. The Smart Band 10 also had a ceramic model, but it was released as a special edition rather than as part of a four-model lineup.

Two Bluetooth band models, M2616B1 and M2617B1, received radio approval from China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in June. These are believed to be the standard Xiaomi Band 11 and the NFC version.

Both models have a 233mAh battery. That’s the same battery capacity used in the previous generation, so Xiaomi does not appear to be increasing the battery size this time. If the Band 11 lasts longer on a charge, the improvement will likely come from better power efficiency and software rather than a larger battery.

What to expect from the Xiaomi Smart Band 11

Looking at the previous generation gives us an idea of what Xiaomi could improve this time. The Xiaomi Smart Band 10 launched in June last year with a 1.72-inch AMOLED display. It offered up to 1,500 nits of brightness, a 60Hz refresh rate, and support for wet-hand touch protection to reduce accidental inputs.

The Smart Band 10 also received a colorful ceramic edition. Xiaomi marketed it as a “tenth generation collector’s edition,” with prices starting at 269 yuan (~ $40).

The Band 11 series could take that idea further by making different materials part of the main lineup. Buyers will reportedly be able to choose the regular model for a simpler design or go for the ceramic or metal versions for a more premium look.

Xiaomi has not revealed the pricing or launch date for the Band 11 series yet. More details about its design, display, health features, and other specifications should appear in the coming months as the launch gets closer.
