Xiaomi Korea released the Xiaomi Smart Band 11 in South Korea on October 12 and opened pre-orders the same day. The standard model costs ₩76,800 (about $57). That’s roughly a third more than in China, where the band went on sale September 3 starting at 289 yuan (about $43).
Xiaomi Smart Band 11 Features
The headline change is thickness. At 9.99mm the band is about 9% slimmer than the Band 10, and it weighs 15.58g without the strap. The 1.72-inch AMOLED screen peaks at 2,000 nits, up from 1,500, and the bezels are down to 2mm on all sides. It runs HyperOS 4 and pairs with both Android and iOS phones. Xiaomi says notification syncing with iPhones has fewer restrictions than before.
For workouts, the band offers more than 150 sports modes and automatically detects six of them. It reports VO₂ max, recovery time, training load, and aerobic and anaerobic effect, and includes a running coach. It’s rated 5ATM, so heart rate tracking works in the pool. It can also broadcast heart rate over Bluetooth to a cycling computer or another app.
The PPG sensor moves from one photodiode to two, still with dual light sources, and covers heart rate, blood oxygen, stress, and women’s health. The bigger addition is sleep HRV. The band reads changes in heartbeat intervals overnight to judge sleep quality, then suggests a sleep plan based on your past sleep and habits. You can also log about 30 types of lifestyle data, including exercise, sleep, and diet.
The 233mAh battery is rated for up to 21 days of light use and about 10 days of typical use. With the always-on display it drops to as little as 6 days. A full magnetic charge takes about 90 minutes. Those numbers come from Xiaomi, so expect less in practice.
The standard model has an aluminum alloy frame and comes in Midnight Black, Glacier Silver, and Mystic Rose. You can buy it from Xiaomi’s online and offline stores, Coupang, and Naver Brand Store. The Pearl White Ceramic version has a ceramic frame and cover glass, costs ₩104,800 (about $78), and is sold only in official Xiaomi stores.
Xiaomi Smart Band 11 Price
Pre-orders get ₩10,000 (about $7.50) off through the 14th. From the 14th to the 25th, first-time buyers get ₩5,000 (about $3.70) off. Terms differ by channel.
A Xiaomi Korea representative said the 11th-generation band is meant to be comfortable enough to wear to bed, and that first-time wearable users should find it easy to check their health data day to day. The Smart Band line, known in Korea as the Mi Band, has long sold on price. Sleep HRV is something smart rings usually charge much more for, and having it on a sub-₩80,000 band is the new part of this release.
