– Official confirmation of the Smart Band 10 Pro in China, unveiled with the Xiaomi 17 Max; pricing noted around $89 on Amazon.
– 21-day battery life, unchanged from the Smart Band 9 Pro.
– New dual-light PPD sensor with claimed 98.2% heart-rate accuracy.
– Refined HRV-based sleep monitoring and Sleep Algorithm 2.0 improvements.
– New cycling mode and enhanced vehicle integrations; China launch by end of May, global release expected later in 2026.
Xiaomi finally confirmed the existence of the Smart Band 10 Pro earlier this week in China. Presented alongside the Xiaomi 17 Max, the Smart Band 10 Pro had quite a lot in common with the older Smart Band 9 Pro at first glance (curr. $89). Yet there are whispers of subtle tweaks that could change how people use it day to day, and the company was eager to share the news despite sparse detail.
Battery life and sensor tweaks
To that end, Xiaomi has confirmed that the Smart Band 10 Pro should deliver up to 21 days of battery life, too. While this is unchanged from the Smart Band 9 Pro, Xiaomi has added a new dual-light PPD sensor for its tenth-generation model. Allegedly, this change allows the Smart Band 10 Pro to monitor heart rates with 98.2% accuracy. Early users might find the daily readings more stable, and the long life battery could mean less recharging day by day.
HRV, Sleep tracking and cycling
Moreover, the new smartwatch boasts refined heart rate variability (HRV) monitoring when sleeping. Similarly, Xiaomi states that the Smart Band 10 Pro leverages its Sleep Algorithm 2.0 for sleep monitoring improvements, too. The new fitness tracker also features a new cycling exercise mode and superior Xiaomi vehicle integrations compared to older Smart Band wearables, offering a more rounded experience for athletes and commuters alike.
Release timing and rollout
A release date remains unknown for now. However, Xiaomi continues to claim that the Smart Band 10 Pro will arrive before the end of May in some capacity. Based on Xiaomi’s social media posts, this launch will likely only apply in China, though. A global release should occur later in 2026, though. Industry watchers caution that shipping windows may slip, yet official posts suggest a China-first rollout.
