Xiaomi Smart Band 11 debuts in China in three price configurations: the base version costs 289 yuan (about €37), the NFC version goes up to 339 yuan (about €43), while editions with a ceramic or metal strap reach 399 yuan (about €51).

Currently pre-orders are open only on the Chinese market, and Xiaomi has not yet confirmed any international launch.

Xiaomi Smart Band 11 vs Xiaomi Smart Band 10: what’s changed

Compared to Xiaomi Smart Band 10, the new model keeps the same display diagonal, 1.72″, but significantly raises peak brightness from 1,500 to 2,000 nits. The body becomes slightly thinner, from 10.95 mm to 9.99 mm, while weight drops a little, from 15.95 to 15.58 g; the bezel remains at 2 mm on both models.

Health sensors, 5 ATM water resistance, over 150 sport modes and a claimed up to 21 days of typical use battery life remain largely aligned between the two generations.

The most notable software difference concerns sleep: Xiaomi Smart Band 11 introduces heart rate variability (HRV) monitoring with AI-based analyses, a feature not present on Xiaomi Smart Band 10, which only provides a sleep trend report with a 21-day improvement plan.
