If you’ve been following Xiaomi’s fitness band line for a while, you know the formula: slim, light, affordable, and packed with features that often outclass pricier trackers. The Xiaomi Smart Band 10 sticks to that DNA but adds enough polish to make last year’s Band 9 look a little dated.
This year’s headliners? A bigger, brighter AMOLED screen, more customization options, a refined design, and subtle but welcome boosts to health and fitness tracking. It’s not a revolutionary jump, but for something that slips quietly onto your wrist, it makes a surprisingly loud statement.
Bigger Screen, Better View
The first thing you’ll notice is the 1.72-inch AMOLED display: bigger, sharper, and brighter than before, hitting up to 1500 nits. That means less squinting outdoors, and with the smooth 60 Hz refresh rate, swiping through menus actually feels premium for a sub-₱3K wearable. Xiaomi also trimmed the bezels, so it finally looks like a modern piece of tech instead of a black rectangle with a screen in the middle.
Light, Stylish, and More “You”
At just under 16 grams (or 23 g for the ceramic version), the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 is almost weightless on the wrist. The real fun is in the custom straps – you can swap between TPU, metal, ceramic, or even turn it into a pendant. For something you’ll wear all day, this flexibility makes a difference. And yes, the new Pearl White ceramic edition gives it a hint of smartwatch elegance without the smartwatch price.
Tracking More Than Just Steps
The Band 10 covers over 150 workout modes: from swimming (with an impressive ~96% lap accuracy) to yoga, cycling, and strength training. Six of these modes can auto-detect, so you don’t have to remember to start tracking.
On the health side, you’re getting all the staples: 24/7 heart rate monitoring, SpO₂ tracking, and upgraded sleep analysis with efficiency scoring and better insight into your rest patterns. Athletes will appreciate metrics like VO₂ max and recovery time, plus a neat heart rate broadcast mode that can sync live data to compatible gym equipment or cycling computers.
Battery That Just Keeps Going
One of Xiaomi’s long-time bragging rights is battery life, and the Band 10 keeps that tradition alive with up to 21 days on a charge if you keep things simple, around 9 days with the always-on display. And if you do run low, fast charging gets you back to full in about an hour.
Smart Without Trying Too Hard
Running on HyperOS 2, the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 keeps navigation snappy. You can check notifications, control music or your phone’s camera, manage your Xiaomi smart home devices, and even play mini-games if you’re bored in line. It’s not trying to replace your phone – it’s there for quick interactions, and it does them well.
Where It Falls Short
No device is perfect, and the Band 10 keeps some quirks from its predecessors:
- No built-in GPS, outdoor workouts still require your phone for accurate mapping.
- NFC payments aren’t available in most regions, so don’t expect to tap-to-pay globally..
Final Word – Still the Budget King
The Xiaomi Smart Band 10 isn’t trying to reinvent itself—it’s just making the right changes in the right places. The bigger, sharper display, versatile design, expanded fitness features, and still-fantastic battery life make it an easy recommendation for anyone who wants a capable, good-looking fitness tracker without breaking the bank.
If you need a standalone GPS or advanced recovery metrics, you’ll have to spend more elsewhere. But if you want a lightweight, stylish wearable that nails the essentials, this one’s hard to beat for the price.
