I’ve been keeping a close eye on the regulatory databases lately, and the “regulatory dominoes” are finally starting to fall for Xiaomi’s 2026 wearable lineup. While everyone is currently buzzing about the imminent 10 Pro launch, I’ve just spotted two brand-new models in Singapore’s IMDA database that effectively confirm we are moving into the Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 11 era.
Here is the breakdown of what I found and why it matters for the summer release cycle.
The New Players: M2558B1 and M2559B1
In the latest filings from XIAOMI ELECTRONICS PTE. LTD., two distinct model numbers have appeared:
-
M2558B1
-
M2559B1
Based on the “M25” prefix—which aligns with Xiaomi’s 2026 production cycle—these aren’t just regional re-releases. We are looking at the standard Xiaomi Smart Band 11 and likely its NFC-enabled sibling.
What’s interesting is the timing. With the 10 Pro hitting the market right now, these “11” series filings suggest that Xiaomi is sticking to its aggressive annual refresh cycle for the standard “pill” shaped tracker, likely aiming for a global rollout this summer.
The “Smoking Gun”: Induction Charging?
The most technical—and most exciting—detail buried in the IMDA registration is the equipment classification. Both models are listed under two separate categories:
-
PMREQ (Private Mobile Radio): Standard Bluetooth connectivity for your smartphone syncing.
-
LPREQ (Low Power Radio Equipment): This is where it gets interesting. It specifically mentions “Induction Loop Communication System / WPT / WPC.“
For those who don’t spend their days reading regulatory fine print: WPT stands for Wireless Power Transfer.
Historically, the base Xiaomi Smart Bands have used magnetic pogo pins for charging. Seeing a “Wireless Power” filing for the standard Band 11 suggests Xiaomi might finally be ditching the exposed pins in favor of true inductive charging. This would be a massive win for durability and water resistance, as it removes one of the most common points of failure and corrosion on fitness trackers.
What to Expect Next
Since these have cleared the IMDA in Singapore, the next stop is usually the FCC (USA) and the SIRIM (Malaysia) databases. If the pattern holds, we should see internal photos hitting the FCC site within the next few weeks, which will give us our first look at the sensor array and that rumored new charging base.
If you’re currently holding out for a new tracker, the Band 10 Pro is the “now” device, but the Smart Band 11 is clearly the one bringing the architectural changes we’ve been waiting for.
I’ll be monitoring the FCC IDs to see when the photos go live. Stay tuned.
