Xiaomi has officially unveiled the Smart Band 11 in China, with reservations now open in the company’s home market. The new fitness tracker sits alongside the Smart Band 11 Active, while a Pro model could also arrive later if Xiaomi follows its previous launch pattern.

The Smart Band 11 keeps the familiar pill shaped design and features the same 1.72 inch AMOLED display as its predecessor. However, Xiaomi has increased peak brightness from 1,500 nits on the Smart Band 10 to 2,000 nits, making the screen easier to see outdoors.

Xiaomi has also made the new band slimmer, with the body measuring just 9.99mm thick. The display bezels are only 2mm wide, while the advertised weight is 15.58 grams. Xiaomi’s measurements exclude the strap and heart rate sensor, so the actual weight and dimensions in use will be slightly higher.

The Smart Band 11 is available with different shell materials, including ceramic and metal options, which also means the weight can vary depending on the version.

Despite the slimmer design, the band retains its 5ATM water resistance rating. It supports heart rate, blood oxygen and stress monitoring, alongside dedicated female health tracking. Xiaomi has included 150 sports modes, professional sleep management with HRV monitoring and AI powered sleep insights.

Battery life has also received an upgrade, with Xiaomi claiming the Smart Band 11 can last up to 21 days on a single charge. NFC is available on selected versions, while the band runs HyperOS 4 and works with both Android and iOS devices.

The Smart Band 11 is currently available for reservation through Xiaomi’s Chinese channels and major local e commerce platforms. The standard model starts at 289 yuan, around $43, while the NFC version costs 339 yuan, around $50. Ceramic and metal editions start at 399 yuan, around $60. Xiaomi has yet to announce international availability.
