The rumor mill surrounding Xiaomi’s next generation of fitness trackers is picking up speed: The first official-looking render images of the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 Pro have surfaced. In addition to the images, leaks also provide clues about technical improvements and a possible imminent launch. Particularly interesting: despite the familiar design, the display, battery and materials could be significantly upgraded.
Highlights
- First render images show the Smart Band 10 Pro in black and white
- Barely visible design changes compared to its predecessor
- Brighter AMOLED display and larger battery under discussion
- Ceramic version and several color options expected
Familiar design with subtle adjustments
The leaked render images were published by the blog Svetandroida. At first glance, there are few surprises. Xiaomi is apparently remaining true to its previous design language: the Smart Band 10 Pro is strongly reminiscent of its predecessor and continues to rely on a rectangular, smartwatch-like format without physical buttons or a crown. This decision is likely to appeal to users who are already familiar with the look of the Pro series.
At the same time, it suggests that Xiaomi is focusing on internal improvements rather than a complete redesign. The packaging of the device has also been leaked, which indicates an imminent market launch. The variety of planned color variants is also interesting. In addition to classic options such as black and white, more striking colors such as pink, orange and silver are also expected to appear. A white ceramic version is also expected, which could enhance the look and feel of the wearable.
Focus on technical upgrades
While the external appearance remains largely unchanged, the leaks point to meaningful hardware improvements. For example, a 1.74-inch AMOLED display is still to be installed – but with a significantly increased brightness of up to 1,600 nits. Xiaomi could also improve the battery: a capacity of around 380 mAh is being discussed, which could enable a battery life of up to 25 days.
This would once again make the Smart Band 10 Pro one of the longer-lasting devices in its class. The possible ceramic edition not only brings with it a premium finish, but also a higher weight. While the standard version should remain under 40 grams, the ceramic version could weigh over 50 grams. Even though many technical details have not yet been confirmed, everything points to Xiaomi continuing to develop the Pro series in the direction of high-quality fitness trackers with smartwatch elements.
Conclusion
The leaked images of the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 Pro show a familiar but proven design, combined with sensible improvements under the hood. Display brightness, battery life and new material options in particular could make the device more attractive. An official launch is expected as early as May, concrete prices are not yet known – but are presumably based on the predecessor in the budget to mid-range segment.
