Xiaomi Smart Band 11 Opens for Pre-Orders With Brighter AMOLED Display and New Premium Editions
Xiaomi has officially opened pre-orders for the Smart Band 11, giving fitness tracker fans a new affordable wearable with a brighter display, slimmer body, and multiple design options. The latest model is available in four versions, including a standard edition, an NFC variant, a new All-metal version, and a Ceramic Edition.
One of the most useful options in the lineup is the NFC model. This version supports offline payments and lets users add digital cards, making the Smart Band 11 more convenient for everyday use. For those who want a more stylish or premium-looking wearable, Xiaomi is also introducing the All-metal edition. While the company has not shared full details about its materials yet, the name suggests it may use more metal in the body compared with the regular model, giving it a more refined feel.
The Ceramic Edition also returns this year, offering another premium choice for users who prefer a more polished design. Interestingly, the All-metal and Ceramic versions are positioned close to each other in pricing, suggesting Xiaomi is targeting buyers who want a fitness band that feels more like a lifestyle accessory.
In terms of hardware, the Xiaomi Smart Band 11 does not completely reinvent the formula. It keeps the same 1.72-inch AMOLED display size seen on the previous generation and once again features 2mm ultra-narrow bezels. However, the screen gets an important upgrade in brightness. The new model reaches up to 2,000 nits of peak brightness, compared with 1,500 nits on the earlier model. This should make the display easier to read outdoors, especially under direct sunlight.
Xiaomi has also made the Smart Band 11 thinner and lighter. The wearable is listed as 9.9mm slim and weighs just 15.58 grams without the strap. That makes it slightly slimmer and lighter than the previous standard version, which measured 10.95mm thick and weighed 15.95 grams without the strap. These small changes may not sound dramatic, but they can make a difference for users who wear their fitness tracker all day and during sleep.
Health and fitness tracking remain a key focus. Xiaomi says the Smart Band 11 offers comprehensive health monitoring and professional sleep management features. While full feature details may vary by region, users can expect the band to track daily activity, sleep patterns, and wellness data in a lightweight design.
Battery life is another major highlight. The Smart Band 11 is rated for up to 21 days of use on a single charge, depending on settings and usage. It also runs HyperOS 4, supports 5ATM water resistance, and is compatible with the Apple ecosystem, making it suitable for both Android and iPhone users.
In China, the Xiaomi Smart Band 11 standard version starts at CNY 289, while the NFC version is priced at CNY 399. The All-metal and Ceramic editions are listed at CNY 339. Global launch details and international pricing have not yet been confirmed.
With its brighter AMOLED display, slim lightweight build, long battery life, NFC option, and premium design choices, the Xiaomi Smart Band 11 looks set to be another strong option for users looking for an affordable fitness tracker with everyday smartwatch-style features.
