Xiaomi's November 17 Paris Event Will Also Bring the Watch S5 41mm, Smart Band 11 and Clip Earbuds

Xiaomi's big global launch next week is growing. A couple of days after the company confirmed it will launch the Xiaomi 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max globally at an event in Paris on November 17, it has now revealed that the phones will not be alone on stage. The same event will also introduce the Xiaomi Watch S5 41mm, the Xiaomi Smart Band 11, the Xiaomi Clip earbuds, and a range of new Mijia smart home appliances.

Xiaomi announced the expanded lineup on X on November 11, writing simply: "More to reveal at Xiaomi Launch, November 17th." The company's own event graphic shows the full lineup around the red Xiaomi 18 Pro Max, and lists the event as starting at 14:00 GMT+1, streamed on mi.com.

Three wearables, one stage

Of the three wearables, the Smart Band 11 is the most familiar. It was unveiled in China in early September and then arrived in Europe in late October, so its global debut is effectively a formality. In China it launched at CNY 299 for the standard edition and CNY 349 for the NFC edition. Global pricing is still to be confirmed.

The Xiaomi Watch S5 41mm is the smaller version of the Watch S5, which has so far been sold in a larger 46mm size. The 41mm model was listed on Xiaomi's global website in early November, so it already looks all but official for global markets. It is a slimmer, lighter take on the same watch, aimed at people who found the 46mm model too large.

The most interesting of the three may be the Xiaomi Clip. As the name suggests, these are Xiaomi's first clip-on earbuds — open-ear buds that clip onto the ear instead of sitting inside it. Xiaomi has not confirmed any specifications, but retail listings reported ahead of the event suggest a light clip-on design with long battery life. Full details, including pricing, are expected on Tuesday.

Smart home joins the lineup too

The event will not stop at wearables. Xiaomi's event graphic also lists four Mijia smart home products: a Tri-Drum Washer Dryer Pro 12kg, a Robot Vacuum 6 Max, a Refrigerator Pro Multi-Door 546L and a Vacuum Cleaner 4 Max. That makes this one of Xiaomi's broadest global launches in a while — phones, wearables and home appliances sharing a single stage, under the banner of "an all-new ecosystem lineup".

What leaks and listings suggest

None of the prices or specifications below are confirmed by Xiaomi, and the company will settle them on November 17. Retail listings in Europe have pointed to a price of around 240 euros for the Watch S5 41mm and 137.90 euros for the Clip earbuds. Leaks cited by The Tech Outlook suggest the Watch S5 41mm has a stainless steel case 9.9mm thick, weighs 36g without a strap, runs HyperOS and packs a 590 mAh battery, with up to 8 days of normal use or up to 14 days in power-saving mode. Reports on the Clip earbuds point to 5.5g per bud, IP57 dust and water protection, 11mm drivers and up to 38 hours of total battery life with the case.

Those figures should be treated as unconfirmed until Xiaomi puts them on a slide. What is certain is the date and the lineup: on November 17, Xiaomi will show the 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max alongside a full set of wearables and smart home products, and the wearables may end up being the more interesting story for buyers who are not shopping for a flagship phone.
