Xiaomi launches Smart Band 11 with brighter display and improved tracking

Xiaomi has unveiled its latest fitness tracker, the Smart Band 11, at the IFA 2026 trade show in Berlin. The new device features a sleek design, improved brightness, and a variety of vibrant colors. This announcement comes just months after the global release of the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 Pro, and it aims to build on the success of its predecessors.

The Smart Band 11 boasts a thinner profile at 9.99mm and weighs only 15.58 grams without the band. Its display remains at 1.72 inches but now delivers a brightness of 2,000 nits, an upgrade from 1,500 nits in previous models. The bezels have also been reduced to 2mm for a more modern look. The device runs on HyperOS 4, which enhances compatibility with both Android and iOS devices, making it easier for users to sync notifications and alerts.

In addition to aesthetic improvements, the Smart Band 11 features enhanced health tracking capabilities. Users can expect better accuracy in heart rate and SpO2 measurements, along with the ability to track up to 150 different types of workouts. The device also retains its water resistance rating of 5ATM, allowing it to withstand depths of up to 50 meters.

Pricing for the Smart Band 11 has been announced for China, where the metal version is set at CNY 289 (approximately $43), while the NFC version will cost CNY 339 ($51), and the ceramic variant will be priced at CNY 399 ($60). Additional bands are available for purchase, with the silk-woven band priced at CNY 149 ($22) and the braided leather band at CNY 99 ($15). Although global pricing and availability have yet to be confirmed, Xiaomi is expected to launch the Smart Band 11 internationally in the coming months.
