Xiaomi Smart Band 11 is the company’s latest fitness tracker, bringing several upgrades over its predecessor. The new model focuses on a slimmer design, improved health tracking and extended battery life. It has now been announced in China, with reservations already underway ahead of its sale.

Xiaomi Smart Band 11 specifications and features

The Xiaomi Smart Band 11 features a 1.72-inch AMOLED display with a 2,000-nit peak brightness and a narrow 2mm bezel. The panel sits inside a curved body that measures just 9.99mm thick, while the tracker weighs as little as 15.58 grams.

The Smart Band 11 comes with multiple strap options, including metal and ceramic variants, and carries a 5ATM water-resistance rating. Health tracking includes heart rate, blood oxygen, and stress monitoring, along with dedicated female health features.

Xiaomi has also added professional sleep management with HRV monitoring and AI-based sleep insights. It supports more than 150 sports modes, covering a broad range of indoor and outdoor activities.

The wearable offers up to 21 days of battery life and includes NFC for features such as contactless payments and smart access cards. It runs Xiaomi HyperOS 4 and supports compatibility with both Android and iOS devices. Other features include smartphone notifications, music controls and a range of customizable watch faces.

Xiaomi Smart Band 11 price and availability

In China, the Xiaomi Smart Band 11 starts at 289 Yuan (~$43). The NFC version costs 339 Yuan (~$50), while the ceramic and metal editions are priced at 399 Yuan (~$60). Reservations are currently open through Xiaomi’s channels and major Chinese e-commerce platforms, although international availability has not been confirmed yet.

The post Xiaomi Smart Band 11 launches with a 21-day battery and 2,000-nit AMOLED display appeared first on Gizmochina.

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.

The post Xiaomi Smart Band 11 series could bring four models, including Ceramic and Metal editions appeared first on Gizmochina.

It hasn’t been that long since Xiaomi announced the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 Pro. However, the company has already started working on the successors. The Xiaomi Smart Band 11 has already been spotted on Taiwan’s NCC database. Now, two new Xiaomi devices have just cleared network access approval in China, and tipsters say they belong to the upcoming Mi Band 11 series.

What got approved

China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology gave the green light to two Xiaomi Bluetooth devices, carrying model numbers M2616B1 and M2617B1. According to tipster Experience More, these two models are the Xiaomi Smart Band 11 and the Xiaomi Smart Band 11 NFC version. They will succeed the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 and Band 10 NFC. 

Meanwhile, UL listing of the band confirms a battery capacity of 233mAh, the same as the current generation. 

Another leaker, Smart Pikachu, says the Mi Band 11 is on track for a release in the second half of this year.

For context, Xiaomi followed a similar certification pattern with its last flagship band. The Band 10 Pro used model numbers M2551B1 and M2553B1 for its standard and NFC versions. There was also a separate sighting in May, when a wearable with model number M2561B1 turned up in certification databases in Singapore and Taiwan, listed simply as a “smart bracelet.”

What we know about the current Smart Band 10 series for comparison

Since full specs for the Mi Band 11 haven’t surfaced yet, it’s worth looking at what the current Smart Band 10 offers. Xiaomi’s existing base model packs a 1.72-inch AMOLED display with 1500 nits peak brightness, a 233mAh battery rated for up to 21 days, over 150 sports modes, and HyperOS 2.0 software, as we reported when the Smart Band 10 launched in China. The Pro variant goes further, with a 1.74-inch, 2000-nit display, HRV tracking, built-in GNSS, and Apple Health support.

If the Mi Band 11 keeps the same battery size, expect Xiaomi to lean on software and sensor upgrades instead of a battery bump. More details should surface as the second-half launch window approaches.
