New Xiaomi Smart Band rears its head with international release looking likely

Only a few days have passed since Xiaomi launched the Smart Band 10 Pro. Currently, the smartwatch is only available in China. However, Xiaomi is expected to replace the Smart Band 9 Pro globally later this year (curr. $89 on Amazon).

In the meantime, Chinese Smartwatches has spotted a new Xiaomi wearable on multiple regulatory body databases. Specifically, Xiaomi has submitted the 'M2561B1' for approval by the National Communications Commission (NCC) in Taiwan and the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) in Singapore. As the screenshots below show, both regulatory bodies refer to the M2561B1 as a 'Smart Band'.

For context, Xiaomi has assigned M2551B1 and M2553B1 to the regular and NFC versions of the Smart Band 10 Pro. Hence, it would appear that 'M2561B1' is a next-generation model of some sort that will fall under the Smart Band 11 series. Currently, it is unclear what retail name Xiaomi has chosen for M2561B1. For the time being, Chinese Smartwatches asserts that 'M2561B1' could be the Smart Band 11 Active. Neither the NCC nor the IMDA support that claim, though.
