Xiaomi Smart Band 11 is approaching: it has passed certification, but the battery remains the same

At the end of May, Xiaomi brought the Smart Band 10 Pro and its long-awaited NFC version to the Czech Republic – and another new product is already on the horizon. Xiaomi Smart Band 11 has passed several certifications in recent days, revealing the first snippets of what to expect from the new band.

What we know about Xiaomi Smart Band 11

The new band appeared in the database of the Chinese authority MIIT in two variants – under the designations M2616B1 and M2617B1. The second model also appeared with regulators in the United Arab Emirates (TDRA) and Taiwan (NCC). According to leaks, this version is accompanied by NFC for contactless payments. Xiaomi has not officially confirmed anything yet, so consider the specific model breakdown unofficial.

The battery also attracted a good deal of attention. Certification documents and the UL organization listing state a cell with a capacity of 233 mAh for the new model – exactly as much as the current Smart Band 10 offers. The battery life will therefore most likely not improve, and any potential enhancements will probably be based on software and new sensors. However, this is also just an expectation, not a confirmed fact.

When the Xiaomi Smart Band 11 will be officially unveiled, the manufacturer has not disclosed. Leaked estimates speak of the second half of 2026, and entering certifications usually means that the presentation is not far off.

Smart Band 10 Pro with NFC is already available in the Czech Republic

The long wait for the higher series is over. The Smart Band 10 Pro arrived in the Czech Republic at the end of May, and for the first time, it came with an NFC version, which was missing from previous generations here. The basic model costs 1,899 CZK, while the NFC variant costs 2,199 CZK.

For an extra charge, it allows you to pay by card directly from your wrist at terminals supporting Mastercard and Visa – but it depends on whether your bank supports it. The model also boasts a 1.74″ AMOLED with brightness up to 2,000 nits, five satellite systems, and 5 ATM water resistance. The new basic generation in the form of Xiaomi Smart Band 11 thus arrives at a time when Xiaomi finally has its complete annual offering of bands in the Czech Republic.

Will you wait for the Xiaomi Smart Band 11, or will you go straight for the Smart Band 10 Pro?
