Xiaomi's new Smart Band 11 launched in Spain with improved specs and NFC payments, but France's release remains uncertain.
Xiaomi Smart Band 11 released in Spain
The Xiaomi Smart Band 11, first introduced in China in early September, became available for purchase in Spain on October 27 through Xiaomi's official Spanish store, as reported by Android Authority. The device is offered in black, silver, and pink, with a standard version priced at 59.99 euros, which is 10 euros more than the Smart Band 10 at its 2025 launch. A release date and price for France have not yet been announced, though it is expected to follow Spain.Enhanced design and display features
The Smart Band 11 includes a 1.72-inch AMOLED screen with a peak brightness of 2,000 nits, an increase from the previous model’s 1,500 nits. The device is also thinner and lighter, with a case thickness of 9.99 millimeters compared to 10.95 millimeters for the Smart Band 10, and a weight of 15.58 grams without a strap, down from 15.95 grams. Xiaomi claims the device offers 21 days of battery life for light usage, but this reduces to 10 days with normal use and 6 days with the screen always on.NFC feature added for European markets
The Smart Band 11 introduces an NFC version for the European market, priced at 79.99 euros in Spain. This version supports contactless payments through Xiaomi Pay, a feature absent in the Smart Band 10 in the region. However, Xiaomi has not yet specified which banks will be compatible with the NFC feature on the Smart Band 11.Multiple models available in the Smart Band 11 range
The Smart Band 11 range includes four models: the Smart Band 11 Active, priced at 39.99 euros and already available in France since September 3; the standard Smart Band 11 with an aluminum case, priced at 59.99 euros in Spain; the NFC version at 79.99 euros with contactless payment support; and the Smart Band 11 Ceramic Edition, which features a ceramic case weighing 21.45 grams. This last model is listed on the Spanish product page but is not yet available for sale. A future "Pro" version with built-in GPS tracking may also be expected.Availability and pricing in France
Currently, only the Smart Band 11 Active is officially available in France, and it is already being sold for less than 30 euros on promotion. The other models are expected to follow, though no official release date or price has been announced for them in France.
