The Xiaomi Smart Band 10 Pro is leaked with a special edition in white ceramic and a weight that points to important changes

Xiaomi’s next activity bracelet is beginning to take shape before its official presentation. The leaker Digital Chat Station, known for its Weibo publications with a good track record of successes about Chinese products, has published new details about what everything indicates will be the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 Pro. According to this information, the launch could occur in May 2026, which would mean the replacement of the Smart Band 9 Pro, which hit the market in November 2024 and has been without an update for several months within the Pro range.

Colors and materials: metal and ceramic

According to the source, the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 Pro will arrive in several color options for the standard editionwhich maintains the metal frame: black, white, silver, orange and pink. There are five shades that expand the customization options compared to previous generations, and that reflect the trend in the activity bracelet market to offer more color variants at the first moment to reach different user profiles.

Above this standard range, the filter points to the existence of a special edition in white ceramicfollowing the path already marked by the standard Smart Band 10, which also offered this variant of materials. Ceramic is a material that Xiaomi has used at different times in its product range, including some smartphone models, and which offers a more premium feel and scratch resistance superior to that of conventional metal. It also has the peculiarity of adding more weight to the final device.

The weight is the most striking data

The leak includes information about the weight of the Smart Band 10 Pro that deserves attention. The standard variant with a metal frame would be below 40 gramswhile the white ceramic edition would exceed 50 grams. For reference, the Xiaomi Smart Band 9 Pro weighs less than 25 grams without the strap. If the leaked data also refers to the weight without strap (which has not been entirely clear), the increase would be very significant: practically double in the standard version and more than double in the ceramic.

Such a jump in off-leash weight is not explained solely by a change in materials. This type of variation usually points to substantial changes in the internal hardware, either a larger screen or a larger battery capacity, or both at the same time. The Smart Band 9 Pro has a 1.7-inch rectangular screen, and there is a possibility that the 10 Pro will change to a square format, closer to the style of other premium bracelets on the market. That type of change would also involve redesigning the general appearance of the device..

Possible change of screen format

If Xiaomi opts for one square screen instead of the elongated rectangle that has defined the Band line until now, would be taking a notable step in the evolution of the design. The rectangular and vertical format has been part of the visual identity of the Mi Band and Smart Band family for years, and that slim and discreet profile has been one of the arguments in its favor over square screen smartwatches. A move toward a square shape would bring the Smart Band 10 Pro closer to a compact smartwatch positioning, something that would fit with a heavier weight and more ambitious hardware specifications.

However, that move could also mark a departure from what has made the Band range successful: being a light, small and cheap alternative to smartwatches. If the price rises considerably along with size and weight, the value proposition changes, and Xiaomi will have to justify that jump compared to its own range of smartwatches.

Few confirmed specifications beyond the design

The filtration does not offer technical data on the chip, health sensors, battery life or activity tracking functions which will include the Smart Band 10 Pro. This absence of technical information is common in the early phases of product leaks, where the first things to come out are usually the colors and physical appearance before the details of performance and functions are known.

What the leaker does point out is that the build quality of the device will be “quite good”, something to be expected in a high-end ceramic edition. If the launch does indeed occur in May 2026, it won’t be long before we officially know all the details, including the price, which could rise compared to the previous generation if Xiaomi decides to go for a larger screen or a larger capacity battery.
