Along with the Xiaomi 17 Max smartphone, the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 Pro fitness bracelet was officially unveiled in China. Despite the number “10” in its name, the device has nothing to do with last year’s Band 10 — it’s a direct successor to the nearly two-year-old Band 9 Pro, designed in the style of compact smartwatches. Now that the new product has been fully announced, let’s break down the specifications, price, and whether you should expect Smart Band 10 Pro to launch globally.
The new Mi Band 10 Pro — just wow. What makes it special?
Xiaomi Smart Band 10 Pro Specifications
Let’s start with the main thing — the full set of specifications. In terms of hardware, the new Xiaomi Mi Band 10 Pro largely mirrors its predecessor, but a few things have been improved: the case is 1.1 mm thinner and 2.9 g lighter, and peak screen brightness has increased from 1,200 to 2,000 nits. Check out the rest of the Smart Band 10 Pro features below.
| Specification | Xiaomi Band 10 Pro |
|---|---|
| Display | 1.74″ AMOLED, 336×480 pixels |
| Refresh rate | 60 Hz |
| Peak brightness | 2,000 nits, auto-brightness |
| Battery | 350 mAh |
| Battery life | Up to 21 days |
| Water resistance | 5 ATM |
| Connectivity | Bluetooth 5.4, GPS, NFC |
| Sensors | Heart rate monitor, SpO₂ sensor, linear vibration motor |
| Sport modes | Over 150 |
| Compatibility | Android 8.0+ and iOS 14.0+ |
| Case material | Aluminum and ceramic |
As you can see, compatibility is all good. The new Xiaomi bracelet works with any smartphone, including those running older operating systems.
How Mi Band 10 Pro Differs from Mi Band 9 Pro
Honestly, the list of upgrades turned out to be very modest. Essentially, Xiaomi Mi Band 10 Pro is the same Band 9 Pro that has become slightly thinner, lighter, and with a brighter screen. The battery hasn’t changed (still 350 mAh), battery life remains the same — around 21 days, the screen is the same 1.74-inch diagonal with the same 60 Hz refresh rate. However, brightness has increased: it’s now on par with smartphones, a whopping 2,000 nits. From personal experience, I can say that the previous 1,200 nits were more than enough.
Visually, it’s hard to tell the bracelets apart. Except for the ceramic version
The main change is in positioning and design. Xiaomi emphasizes that the new product looks like a full-fledged smartwatch rather than an elongated tracker. It’s also important that the Smart Band 10 Pro launched in a ceramic case — a premium option for those who care about how it looks on their wrist.
What Xiaomi Smart Band 10 Pro Can Do — Full Feature List
Despite the modest hardware upgrade, functionally the Xiaomi fitness bracelet remains one of the most feature-packed in its class. On board — a heart rate monitor, blood oxygen sensor, sleep quality and workout monitoring, plus support for over 150 sport modes. Built-in GPS and NFC are rare for devices of this size, and they’re both here. However, you won’t be able to use Mir Pay on the Smart Band 10 Pro: the module is more intended for opening doors than for payments.
The bracelet is once again positioned as a fitness device
The bracelet works with both Android (version 8.0 and above) and iPhone (iOS 14.0 and newer).
How Much Does Smart Band 10 Pro Cost and When Will It Launch Globally
In China, the Mi Band 10 Pro price has increased compared to its predecessor. The base model with an aluminum case costs 429 yuan (approximately $60), while the ceramic edition goes for 499 yuan (around $70). Xiaomi also sells replacement straps separately: from 99 yuan for a rubber one to 199 yuan for a Milanese loop.
As always, the bracelet is easily customizable
For now, the bracelet is only available in China, but a global release will most likely happen later this year — and then the device will officially reach other markets.
Is It Worth Buying Xiaomi Band 10 Pro
If you already have the Band 9 Pro and you’re happy with it — there’s no reason to rush for an upgrade, as the difference is purely cosmetic. You can still confidently buy the “9” even in 2026.
However, for those upgrading from really old models or looking for an affordable fitness bracelet that looks like a watch, the new Mi Band seems like a logical choice: a bright AMOLED screen, GPS, NFC, 5 ATM water resistance, and three weeks of battery life for a reasonable price.
The new Mi Band 10 Pro will gradually drop in price — don’t rush to buy
Overall, the new Xiaomi bracelet of 2026 is about style and a basic set of “smart” capabilities, not revolutionary innovations.
