I have been monitoring the regulatory database closely recently, and the “regulatory domino effect” is finally taking place for Xiaomi’s 2026 wearables lineup. While all eyes are now set on the upcoming launch of the 10 Pro, I have come across two new models listed in Singapore’s IMDA database, which clearly indicate that we are stepping into the age of the Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 11.
Here are the details on what I discovered and its implications on the summer lineup.
The New Players: M2558B1 and M2559B1
From the latest filing submitted by XIAOMI ELECTRONICS PTE. LTD., the following two model numbers were noted:
- M2558B1
- M2559B1
According to the “M25” code, which corresponds to Xiaomi’s production cycle in 2026, it can be argued that this is not merely a regional relaunch. What we see here is the Xiaomi Smart Band 11 and probably its NFC counterpart.
The fascinating thing about all of this is the timing. With the current release of the 10 Pro, the “11” series of filings seems to indicate that Xiaomi plans to maintain its tradition of releasing new models of the regular “pill” tracker annually.
The “Smoking Gun”: Induction Charging?
Perhaps the most technical, but also the most interesting aspect of the IMDA registration is the equipment category designation. Both devices are registered under:
PMREQ (Private Mobile Radio): Bluetooth connection to sync with your phone as usual.
LPREQ (Low Power Radio Equipment): But this is where things start getting interesting. Here, it refers to “Induction Loop Communication System / WPT / WPC.”
For anyone who isn’t an avid follower of device registrations in their technical aspects, here’s what WPT means: Wireless Power Transfer.
Typically, Xiaomi Smart Bands use pogo pins for charging in the past. The filing of “Wireless Power” under the standard Band 11 indicates that Xiaomi may finally abandon using the visible pogo pins, opting for inductive charging. This is a huge step forward in terms of durability and waterproofing because inductive charging eliminates one of the most vulnerable and corrosive points on a tracker.
What to Expect Next
Now that both have passed through the IMDA in Singapore, the next port of call would be FCC (US) and SIRIM (Malaysia). Based on experience, internal images will show up on FCC site in the coming weeks. This will help us get our first glimpse of the sensor cluster and the new charging station.
While the Band 10 Pro is still considered the “now” product, the Smart Band 11 will certainly deliver what many of us are waiting for architecture-wise.
I will keep an eye on the FCC IDs as well to know when the images will start rolling in.
