A new leak has given us a detailed look at Xiaomi’s upcoming entry-level fitness tracker, the Smart Band 11 Active. Tech outlet WinFuture recently shared first-look renders and key specifications for the wearable, which is expected to launch globally very soon with an affordable price tag of around €40 (roughly $45).
Here is a breakdown of what the leak reveals about the budget device.
A Slightly New Look and a Bigger Screen
The Smart Band 11 Active gets a small cosmetic refresh compared to its predecessor. The case is a bit wider and features a slightly more squared-off design. It remains lightweight and slim, measuring 10.2 mm thick and weighing just 16.5 grams.
To keep the price as low as possible, Xiaomi opted for an LCD touchscreen rather than a pricier AMOLED panel. The display measures 1.47 inches with a resolution of 320 x 172 pixels. Even with the LCD tech, the band supports an Always-On Display option for quick time-checking on the go.
At launch, buyers will reportedly be able to choose from four classic color options:
-
Black
-
White
-
Gray
-
Pink
Two-Week Battery Life and Daily Health Tracking
Despite its bargain price, the tracker packs a respectable set of health and fitness tools. Onboard sensors include:
-
Heart rate monitoring
-
SpO2 sensor for tracking blood oxygen levels
-
Accelerometer to log steps and daily movement
The band will support over 50 workout modes alongside standard sleep and stress monitoring. Thanks to a 5 ATM water resistance rating, you can also wear it in the shower or while swimming in shallow water.
Powering the device is a 300 mAh battery. Xiaomi promises up to 14 days of battery life on a single charge under typical use. Turning on the Always-On Display drops that estimate to about nine days. When the battery runs low, a full recharge takes roughly two hours.
What Features Are Missing?
To reach a sub-$45 price point, Xiaomi had to leave a few popular features off the spec sheet. Most notably:
-
No built-in GPS: You will need to bring your phone along if you want to route outdoor runs or bike rides.
-
No NFC: You won’t be able to use the band for contactless tap-to-pay purchases at checkout terminals.
For users who just want basic step counting, heart rate tracking, and smartphone notifications without paying top dollar, these compromises likely won’t be dealbreakers.
Price and Availability
While Xiaomi has not officially announced an exact release date, the device has already appeared in several regulatory databases. That usually means a market launch is right around the corner.
At around $45, the Smart Band 11 Active is set to undercut the original launch price of the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 ($49), making it one of the most accessible brand-name fitness trackers on the market.
