Xiaomi releases new budget smartwatch in more countries with 2,000-nit AMOLED display
Xiaomi has released its latest fitness tracker in more countries. To recap, the company launched the Smart Band 11 globally on September 23 with a 2,000-nit AMOLED display and up to 21 days of battery life. However, it released the same device a few weeks earlier in China on September 3 to replace the existing Smart Band 10 (curr. $54.99 on Amazon).
Then in early October, the Smart Band 11 reached Hong Kong and South Korea with Midnight Black, Glacier Silver and Mystic Rose colours. These markets received an optional ceramic variant too, which Xiaomi sells as 'Pearl White'. With that said, both markets missed out on some of the colours that the company sells in its home market.
Shortly afterwards, the Smart Band 11 became available to purchase in Spain as well. A first European release, the Smart Band 11 lacked its Pearl White finish. Instead, Xiaomi sells the Smart Band 11 in Spain with an optional NFC module for tap-to-pay purposes.
Now, the same fitness tracker has landed in other parts of East Asia and Southeast Asia, including Japan, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. In all cases, Xiaomi is selling the Smart Band 11 in Midnight Black, Glacier Silver and Mystic Rose finishes. The company's Pearl White edition has arrived in all but Thailand, too.
With that said, Thailand and Singapore are the only countries where the Smart Band 11 can be purchased in its Moon Gold finish. Lavender Purple has also reached Singapore for SGD 75.90 (~$59), the same price as its Midnight Black, Glacier Silver, Mystic Rose and Moon Gold counterparts. Xiaomi charges SGD 105 (~$82) for its Pearl White variant, though.
Meanwhile, the Smart Band 11 starts at JPY 6,980 (~$44) in Japan and rises to JPY 9,980 (~$63) with NFC. Similarly, Xiaomi has priced its new wearable at THB 1,990 (~$59) in Thailand and THB 2,990 (~$89) with NFC connectivity. Finally, the Smart Band 11 can be picked up for VND 1,490,000 (~$58) in its standard form, VND 1,890,000 (~$58) with NFC and VND 2,190,000 (~$85) with a ceramic coating lacking NFC.
