Xiaomi releases new budget smartwatch globally with 5 ATM water resistance and 21 days battery life
Xiaomi has expanded the availability of one of its latest fitness trackers to more countries, constituting a global release in the process. For context, the company has just started selling the Smart Band 11 in China. At around the same time, it launched the Smart Band 11 Active on its global website, too.
Initially, Xiaomi limited the Smart Band 11 Active to Poland. Then, at the start of September, it released the wearable in multiple countries. Even then, there was limited European availability. Now, Xiaomi has rectified this by releasing the device in the Eurozone and the UK.
Currently, prices range between €29 and €39 in the Eurozone. By contrast, Xiaomi has £24.99 in UK, undercutting even the older Smart Band 10 that Xiaomi still sells globally (curr. $52 on Amazon). With that comes a few hardware differences, though. For instance, Xiaomi equips the Smart Band 11 Active with a 1.47-inch and 172 x 320-pixel TFT display, rather than the AMOLED equivalent found in the Smart Band 10 and Smart Band 11.
Also, the Smart Band 11 Active finds itself with a 300 mAh battery, which Xiaomi claims provides up to 21 days of battery life. On top of that, the wearable boasts 24/7 heart rate monitoring, sleep tracking and 5 ATM water resistance. However, while over 100 watch faces and 50 sports modes are pre-installed, the Smart Band 11 Active lacks tap-to-pay support like some more expensive Xiaomi wearables.
