Xiaomi’s 2026 wearable push continued to widen its ultra-affordable lineup. The Smart Band 10 Pro debuted in China in May, followed by the Redmi Watch 6 series and Smart Band 11 Active rollouts across global markets including Europe, Southeast Asia, and Oceania. In late August, the Redmi Watch 6 Active launched globally. This budget-friendly model features a 1.85-inch AMOLED display with 1,200 nits peak brightness, Bluetooth calling, and up to 18 days of battery life. While the standard Watch 6 uses an aluminum body, the Active model utilizes a PC polymer frame with matte metallic paint. In early September, Xiaomi officially launched the Smart Band 11 in China. This series features a 1.72-inch AMOLED display with 2,000 nits brightness and a slimmer 9.99mm profile. The lineup includes standard, NFC, ceramic, and all-metal versions, running on HyperOS 4 with AI-driven sleep tracking. The Smart Band 11 Active also saw a release in Japan, featuring 5D curved cover glass. Following the China launch, Xiaomi released the global product page for the Smart Band 11, highlighting a dual-LED, dual-PD optical heart-rate module and improved iPhone compatibility via HyperOS 4, though the global version emphasizes a sleep management assistant over specific HRV tracking. In late September, the Smart Band 11 Active launched in Brazil, priced at R$ 379.99. The device features a 1.47-inch display, 50 workout modes, and 5 ATM water resistance, with battery life lasting up to 21 days under light usage. In October, Redmi expanded its offerings with the launch of the Redmi Band 4 in China. Priced at 169 yuan, the tracker features a 1.47-inch display, a metal-textured unibody design, and up to 21 days of battery life. This successor to the Redmi Band 3 includes a 1.47-inch TFT LCD display with a 60Hz refresh rate, a redesigned silicone strap with a pin-style clasp, and support for 50 sports modes and 5ATM water resistance. While it supports QR code payments via WeChat and Alipay in China, it lacks NFC functionality.
