Xiaomi expanded its product lineup on May 28 with several new devices beyond the 17 Max smartphone, rolling out three fresh wearables for global markets. The company introduced the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 Pro, the Xiaomi Buds 6, and the Xiaomi Sound Play speaker.
The Smart Band 10 Pro already debuted in China roughly a week prior under the name Mi Band 10 Pro. Xiaomi maintains this naming split for regional markets, with global customers receiving the Smart Band branding while Chinese consumers see the Mi Band label.
Putting the name difference aside, this wearable sticks close to the formula established by its predecessor. The display measures 1.74 inches, identical in size to the previous generation. It runs at 60Hz and displays 16.8 million colors, though peak brightness has jumped to 2,000 nits compared to the 1,200 nits on the older model.
Battery capacity holds steady at 350mAh, and Xiaomi claims the same endurance figures as before. Users can expect up to 21 days of light usage, 15 days under normal conditions, or 8 days with the always-on display active.
Weight has dropped slightly to 21.6 grams for the standard version. The overall profile is thinner too, without sacrificing toughness.
Xiaomi touts entirely new health sensors built around a dual-light PD sensor. Sleep tracking algorithms have received upgrades as well, continuing an annual tradition of refinements that the company also highlighted when launching the previous generation.
The Xiaomi Buds 6 bring meaningful improvements across multiple areas. Audio now comes from a new 11mm triple-magnet driver promising stronger performance. Qualcomm aptX lossless support has been added with bitrates reaching 2.1 Mbps, a notable bump from the 1.2 Mbps ceiling on the Buds 5.
Xiaomi has not detailed specific noise cancellation specifications for the Buds 6.
A “biomimetic curved design” makes the Buds 6 slimmer and lighter than their predecessor while improving fit through increased contact area and better airflow architecture.
Xiaomi also showed off the Sound Play, a new portable speaker.
The speaker delivers 18W of output and weighs 415 grams. An IP68 rating means it can handle beach or poolside environments, and battery life stretches to 14 hours.
TWS pairing support lets users link two Sound Play units for stereo output.
Visually, the Sound Play features a bottom ambient light ring that matches the body color, available in orange, blue, green, or purple.
Pricing breaks down as follows: the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 Pro starts at €80, with the NFC and Ceramic Edition reaching €100. The Xiaomi Buds 6 carry a €120 price tag. The Xiaomi Sound Play speaker comes in at just €50.
