Xiaomi held a launch event in China today where we saw the debut of the Xiaomi 17 Max, but that was not the only new device announced on stage. We also got the latest addition to the Smart Band lineup, as well as Xiaomi’s first clip-on wireless earbuds.
Xiaomi Band 10 Pro
Smart Band 10 Pro is the successor to 2024’s Smart Band 9 Pro, and it brings several upgrades, including improved health tracking sensors, more reliable sleep tracking, and a new cycling mode.
Xiaomi outfitted the Band 10 Pro with a new dual-light PPD sensor, which promises up to 98.2% accuracy for heart rate readings. Xiaomi is also bringing sleep heart rate variability (HRV) support alongside a new Sleep Algorithm 2.0 for more accurate sleep tracking data.
In terms of activity tracking, you’re getting access to over 150 modes. There’s a new cycling exercise mode for more accurate stats for avid cyclists. The band can also assess your fatigue levels during workouts.
Smart Band 10 Pro is built around a 1.74-inch 2.5D curved AMOLED screen (60Hz), which is now rated at up to 2,000 nits peak brightness versus Band 9 Pro’s 1,200 nits.
The regular version uses an aluminum alloy body measuring 9.7mm and weighing just over 21 grams without the strap. Xiaomi is also offering a more premium ceramic version, which weighs just over 8 grams more than the standard version.
Regardless of which one you pick, you’re getting a 5ATM waterproof rating, so you can track your indoor swimming sessions too. The software side is covered by Xiaomi’s HyperOS 3, and the version sold in China features NFC connectivity and the ability to use the band as a car key. Battery life is rated at up to 21 days, just like its predecessor.
Xiaomi Band 10 Pro starts at CNY 399 ($59/€51 converted) for the aluminum version, while the more premium ceramic version is priced at CNY 479 ($70/€61 converted). The brand did not confirm plans for an international rollout just yet.
Xiaomi Clip-on earbuds
Alongside the Smart Band 10 Pro, Xiaomi also announced its first clip-on style open earbuds. These feature 11mm drivers and come in black, white and gold colors. Each earbud weighs 5.5 grams, and they also feature Xiaomi’s Xiao Ai voice assistant with on-device translation and voice recording capabilities.
Battery life from the buds is rated at 9 hours and 38 hours with the charging case. Like the Band 10 Pro, the Clip-on earbuds are compatible with Apple devices and feature support for Apple’s Find My network. They also get IP57 ingress protection.
Xiaomi Clip-on earbuds
Xiaomi Clip-on earbuds are priced at CNY 799 ($115/€101 converted). It remains to be seen if they will get an international release.
