Exclusive: Xiaomi Smart Band 11 is coming to the Czech Republic, and for the first time with NFC. Official prices leaked

The new generation of Xiaomi’s best-selling band is coming to the Czech market. The Xiaomi Smart Band 11, which the manufacturer introduced for markets outside China at the end of September, has appeared in the Smarty e-shop offer – and with it, its official Czech prices have leaked. You can look forward to an NFC version, which previous basic models did not have in our country. However, you must expect that the band will be more expensive than its predecessor.

Xiaomi Smart Band 11 to increase in price to 1,390 CZK

The Smarty e-shop offers six items – three colors for each of the two versions. Both the basic and NFC models will be available in black, silver, and pink. You will pay 1,390 CZK for the standard variant, while the NFC version will cost 1,690 CZK. For all items, the status currently shows “on order” with a note that dispatch will be specified, so we do not know the exact start date of sales. The Pearl White ceramic edition, which Xiaomi also showed on its global website and has been selling in China for a long time, is currently missing from the offer.

Last year’s Smart Band 10 arrived in the Czech Republic in June 2025 for 1,099 CZK. Its successor will therefore increase in price by almost three hundred CZK in the basic version.

It will come with NFC for the first time. What can it do with it?

The crucial novelty for the Czech market is the NFC version. The previous Smart Band 10 did not have a wireless chip in its global version at all, and Czech customers first saw it from Xiaomi this May with the more expensive Smart Band 10 Pro. That one with NFC costs 2,199 CZK, so the new Smart Band 11 will offer the same technology five hundred CZK cheaper.

The description on Smarty, however, only talks about the emulation of selected access cards at a frequency of 13.56 MHz and warns that the availability of NFC functions varies by region. Whether it will actually be possible to pay with the band using a card, as with the 10 Pro model, has not yet been confirmed by the manufacturer itself on its website.

It will offer up to 21 days of battery life and a thinner body

The Xiaomi Smart Band 11 features a 1.72-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 212 × 520 pixels and a refresh rate of 60 Hz; in high brightness mode, the manufacturer states 1,500 nits. The aluminum alloy body is 9.99 mm thin, while its predecessor measured 10.95 mm. The NFC version weighs 16 grams without the strap.

Heart rate is measured by an improved optical sensor with two LED diodes and two photodiodes. The band also monitors blood oxygen saturation, stress, and sleep, including its phases, and offers more than 150 modes for athletes. It can send heart rate data via Bluetooth, for example, to a cycling computer, and thanks to 5 ATM water resistance, you can take it to the pool.

The battery capacity remained at 233 mAh. Xiaomi promises up to 21 days in power-saving mode, about 10 days with typical use, and around six days with the always-on display. These are manufacturer’s figures that we cannot independently verify yet. A full charge with the magnetic charger takes about 90 minutes, and the band connects to a phone via Bluetooth 5.4 and the Mi Fitness app.

Will you pay three hundred CZK extra for NFC, or is the basic Smart Band 11 enough for you?
