The fitness tracker arrives in standard aluminium and premium Ceramic Edition versions, with pre-orders ahead of dispatch from 4 November.
Xiaomi has expanded its wearable line-up in Japan with the Smart Band 11, positioning the device as a modest but meaningful refresh to its long-running fitness tracker range. According to Xiaomi’s Japanese launch material, the new model is being sold through the company’s own website, local retail partners and online marketplaces, with a standard aluminium version and a higher-priced Ceramic Edition aimed at buyers who want a more premium finish.
The band centres on a 1.72-inch AMOLED display with a 60Hz refresh rate and peak brightness of up to 2,000 nits, which Xiaomi says is intended to keep the screen legible in strong daylight. The company also says the panel is framed by very slim 2.0mm symmetrical bezels, while an ambient light sensor automatically adjusts brightness. The device is designed to stay compact, measuring 9.99mm thick and weighing 15.58g without the strap in its standard form.
Battery performance is another headline claim. Xiaomi says the Smart Band 11 uses a 233mAh graphite battery that can last up to 21 days under light use, around 10 days in typical use, or roughly six days with the always-on display enabled. Magnetic fast charging is said to refill the battery in about 90 minutes. The company also says it has repositioned the quick-release strap mechanism to improve fit against the wrist, while the Ceramic Edition adds a Pearl White finish and a slightly heavier build.
On the health and fitness side, Xiaomi says the band includes upgraded optical sensors for heart rate and blood oxygen monitoring, plus alerts for abnormal readings, sleep analysis, stress tracking, guided breathing and women’s health features. It also supports more than 150 sports modes and 5ATM water resistance, which makes it suitable for swimming. The band runs Xiaomi’s HyperOS platform and works with Android and iPhone through the Mi Fitness app, with Bluetooth 5.4 connectivity and support for iOS and Android versions current enough to cover most recent phones. Xiaomi’s Japanese event page says pre-orders were being handled ahead of dispatch from 4 November, underlining that the launch is being managed in phases rather than as a single global release.
