Honor Band 11 Pro launches with GPS, NFC, and 26-day battery life

🚀 New Launches

The Honor Band 11 Pro finally pairs multi-week battery with NFC on a budget tracker, something Xiaomi Smart Band 10 skips entirely. GPS is optional on select models, so confirm the variant if run tracking matters to you.

Marty’s Take:

Honor’s real move here isn’t hardware, it’s positioning: a $50 tracker with GPS and NFC forces Xiaomi and Amazfit to either cut prices or add features they’ve been holding back for pricier models. Expect a budget spec war through year-end. If you’re shopping under $75, wait it out, check our best fitness tracker picks before you settle.
