The wearable tech landscape is heating up this May. According to reliable insider DigitalChatStation, Xiaomi is preparing to unveil its next-generation fitness tracker, highly anticipated to be the Xiaomi Band 10 Pro. Rumored to launch in tandem with the massive Xiaomi 17 Max flagship, this release signals a major push into the premium smart wearable segment, dropping the legacy “Mi” branding for good and leaning heavily into high-end aesthetics.
Ceramic Upgrades & Flagship Power
Based on the latest supply chain leaks, the upcoming Xiaomi Band 10 Pro is ditching standard materials to offer a more luxurious look and feel. The lineup will feature black, white, silver, orange, and pink variants, but the standout star is a stunning white ceramic version.
From a hardware perspective, the standard models will remain incredibly light at under 40g, ensuring workout comfort. The ceramic edition, however, will weigh in at slightly over 50g, offering a more substantial, watch-like feel.
Additionally, the leak points to a joint launch event late this May. The Xiaomi Band 10 Pro is slated to share the stage with a new large-screen flagship equipped with the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite architecture—widely believed to be the upcoming Xiaomi 17 Max. Naturally, both devices will be tightly integrated out of the box.
Market Impact & Generational Upgrades
The shift towards a ceramic body for the Xiaomi Band 10 Pro bridges the gap between affordable fitness bands and premium smartwatches, offering immense durability and scratch resistance.
For context, last year’s Xiaomi Band 9 Pro featured a 1.74-inch high-gloss screen with ultra-narrow bezels, 5ATM water resistance, a 24.5g footprint, and up to 21 days of battery life. It debuted at 399 CNY (approximately $55 USD). It is crucial to note that this introductory pricing and the initial May release window reflect products introduced exclusively in China (for now), though global variants are expected to follow with Xiaomi 17T series launch. The jump from a 24.5g chassis to a 40g+ ceramic build indicates a massive shift in build quality.
