Xiaomi has started selling the **Xiaomi Smart Band 11** in China from 289 yuan, or about $40, making it the first device in the company's Band lineup to run HyperOS 4\. Sales opened on September 7, four days after reservations began, and the 1.72-inch AMOLED tracker is rated for up to 21 days of battery life.

The software debut matters more than the spec sheet this generation. HyperOS 4 puts a two-column app menu on the wrist and lets the band control Mi Home (Mijia) smart appliances directly, with hooks into compatible Xiaomi electric vehicles. The NFC edition adds contactless payments and digital cards, features that remain China-specific for now.

## Xiaomi Smart Band 11 gets a brighter screen and thinner body

Peak display brightness rises to 2,000 nits from 1,500 nits on the Smart Band 10, while the case thins to 9.99mm with 2mm bezels and a weight of 15.58 grams. The signature pill-shaped screen and the 5ATM water-resistance rating both carry over. Health tracking spans heart rate, blood oxygen, stress and female health, and sleep analysis now draws on heart rate variability (HRV) data with AI-generated sleep guidance.

Xiaomi lists more than 150 sports modes, and the 21-day battery estimate matches the previous model rather than extending it. The band pairs with Android and iOS handsets, and Xiaomi says iPhone notification syncing carries fewer limitations than before; earlier Band generations made comparable promises, so that claim will need real-world confirmation.

Owners of the Smart Band 10 get the brighter panel, the slimmer case and HRV sleep tracking as the main reasons to upgrade, with endurance and the core sensor suite largely unchanged.

## China pricing and availability

The Xiaomi Smart Band 11 launches in four configurations: the base model at 289 yuan (about $40), an NFC version at 339 yuan (about $48), and ceramic or all-metal editions from 399 yuan (about $56). Buyers can currently order only through Xiaomi's Chinese channels and major local e-commerce platforms. Xiaomi has not announced international pricing or a global release date, and the device is a different product from the Smart Band 11 Active.

## Why this matters

At roughly $40, the Xiaomi Smart Band 11 functions as an inexpensive gateway to Xiaomi's smart home and electric vehicle ecosystem, a position few budget trackers occupy. If that software experience reaches international buyers intact, HyperOS-driven device control could become an expected feature at the entry level, one that competing bands will have to answer.
