The Xiaomi Mi Band 6 has officially launched in China alongside the Mi 11-series smartphones, marking the company's 5th-generation fitness tracker. The Xiaomi Mi Band 6 arrives with a larger, sharper AMOLED display, an upgraded fitness sensor and a bigger battery, and below we break down everything you need to know about its price, specifications and standout features.
Xiaomi Mi Band 6 Price and Availability
The Xiaomi Mi Band 6 launched in China in two variants. The non-NFC model is priced at 229 CNY (about Rs 2,500), while the NFC variant is priced at 279 CNY (about Rs 3,000). It is available in a wide range of eight color options: White, Brown, Black, Blue, Orange, Yellow, Green and Silver, giving buyers plenty of choice to match their personal style. The NFC variant is the one to pick if you want tap-based functionality, while the standard model keeps the cost lower. At the time of launch, Xiaomi had not yet shared any details about an India launch for the band, so international pricing and availability remain to be confirmed. Notably, the company skipped the Mi Band 4 in some markets and launched the Mi Band 5 directly before this model, which makes the Mi Band 6 a meaningful step up for anyone upgrading from an older generation.

Xiaomi Mi Band 6 Specifications and Features
The headline upgrade is the 1.56-inch color AMOLED display, a notable jump from the 1.1-inch screen on the Mi Band 5. The larger panel makes notifications, stats and menus far easier to read at a glance. The display offers a resolution of 360x152 pixels for crisp text and graphics, and it supports an impressive 130 watch faces. Personalization goes a step further too, as you can set an image from your smartphone as a custom watch face, making the band feel uniquely yours.
On the health front, the Mi Band 6 adds an SpO2 sensor that tracks blood oxygen levels and also monitors the quality of your breathing during sleep, which is useful for spotting irregular patterns overnight. It builds on this with 24-hour heart rate monitoring for continuous tracking throughout the day. Fitness enthusiasts get 15 new exercise modes, broadening the range of activities the band can record. Endurance is another strong point: Xiaomi claims the bigger battery delivers up to 14 days of backup on a single charge, and that figure extends to 19 days when you enable power-saving mode, so you can go well over two weeks between charges.
