Honor Band 11 and 11 Pro Launched: 26-Day Battery Life

Honor launched its Honor Band 11 and Honor Band 11 Pro smartbands in China on August 3, 2026, featuring significant battery life upgrades over previous generations. The standard Honor Band 11 offers up to 18 days of usage, while the Pro model extends this to 26 days. Both devices incorporate expanded fitness tracking and health monitoring capabilities, according to reports from Gizmochina.

Battery Performance and Hardware Specifications

The primary differentiator between the two models is power capacity. The Honor Band 11 is equipped with a 250 mAh battery, an improvement over the 14-day lifespan of its predecessor. The Honor Band 11 Pro houses a larger 400 mAh battery, enabling the 26-day endurance. Both models feature OLED displays with a 60 Hz refresh rate, though the Pro model utilizes a slightly larger 1.61-inch screen compared to the 1.57-inch panel on the standard version. The Pro display also reaches a peak brightness of 2,000 nits, providing improved visibility in direct sunlight compared to the standard model’s typical brightness levels.

Fitness and Health Monitoring Features

Both smartbands include 113 distinct sports modes, an increase from the 96 modes found in earlier versions. Health tracking sensors on both devices monitor heart rate, blood oxygen (SpO2) levels, sleep quality, stress, and body energy. Additionally, the devices support women’s health tracking and include research-backed features designed to assist in the detection of risks related to sudden cardiac death. The devices are rated 5ATM for water resistance, allowing for use during swimming activities.

Advanced Connectivity and Pricing

The Honor Band 11 Pro adds several functional capabilities not found in the base model, including Bluetooth calling, NFC support, and an optional version with integrated standalone GPS. Both models offer standard smartwatch features such as camera and music playback control, weather updates, and “Find Phone” functionality. In the Chinese market, the Honor Band 11 is priced at 229 yuan (approximately Rp 610.000). The Pro model starts at 299 yuan for the NFC version, rising to 349 yuan for the GPS-enabled variant. While Honor has confirmed the China launch, no official timeline for a global release has been provided.
