What's the core difference between Band 10 Pro and standard Band 10?

NFC support is the headline differentiator from the standard Band 10. Additionally the Pro brings dual-band GPS, aluminum chassis, brighter display, larger battery, and the ceramic edition option — none of which are available on the standard Band 10.

Is 25-day battery life realistic?

25 days is the maximum in minimal-use mode. With regular sports tracking and notifications, expect 12-15 days more realistically. With Always-On Display active — approximately 7 days.

Does NFC work for payments in Arab countries?

NFC payments depend on local banking network support for NFC Pay services. In Gulf countries like the UAE and Saudi Arabia, tap-to-pay infrastructure is advanced — but compatibility with Xiaomi Pay specifically depends on regional agreements.

What's the difference between the aluminum and ceramic editions?

The ceramic version is heavier (exceeding 50g versus under 40g for aluminum) but delivers a more premium look and feel. Ceramic is generally more scratch-resistant but more brittle in severe drop scenarios.

Will it reach Middle East markets?

A China launch is expected in May with a global rollout estimated for June to August. Xiaomi's Smart Band series typically reaches Arab markets through the global rollout.

Xiaomi Smart Band 10 Pro Leaks in Official-Looking Renders — 1.74-inch AMOLED, NFC, Dual-Band GPS and 25-Day Battery

Xiaomi Smart Band 10 Pro — Everything Leaked So Far

The Xiaomi Smart Band 10 Pro will be the successor to the Band 9 Pro which launched back in October 2024 — a long gap that signals a meaningful upgrade is coming.

Display — Same Size, Significantly Brighter

Leaked visual assets and data confirm the Xiaomi Band 10 Pro is built around a 1.74-inch rectangular AMOLED display at 480×400 pixels resolution, guaranteeing high visibility and sharp text rendering under various lighting conditions.

The display is protected by glass slightly curved at the edges, with peak brightness potentially reaching 1,600 nits — a notable improvement over the Band 9 Pro.

Battery — Possibly Up to 25 Days

Under the chassis there's a 380mAh battery offering up to 25 days of autonomy.

Earlier leaks repeat the 21-day runtime claim, with approximately 7 days when Always-On Display mode is active.

NFC for Payments — The Headline Differentiator

NFC support is the headline differentiator from the standard Band 10. It enables contactless payments and contact sharing with a tap, which matters in markets where tap-to-pay is a daily habit. Xiaomi will offer two versions: a standard model and a slightly more expensive variant featuring NFC.

Dual-Band GPS

The Band 10 Pro adds dual-band GPS for the first time in the Band series — a meaningful upgrade for runners and outdoor enthusiasts who need more accurate location tracking.

Materials and Build

Xiaomi is utilizing a premium aluminum casing for the Pro variant, delivering both a sleek aesthetic and enhanced durability. The device is certified for 50-meter water resistance, making it fully capable for swimming and rigorous aquatic sports.

White Ceramic Edition — For the Premium-Conscious

The Band 10 Pro is also said to come with a special White Ceramic Edition. The ceramic version will be heavier — the standard variant should remain under 40 grams while the ceramic version could exceed 50 grams.

Colors and Availability

Leaked renders show the Band 10 Pro in black and white. Additional options like pink, orange, and silver have been mentioned in various reports. A China launch is expected in May with a global rollout estimated for June to August.

Health Sensors

PPG, 24/7 heart rate monitoring, SpO2, sleep tracking, display brightness sensor, and barometer. Over 150 sport modes with some automatic recognition.
