The major tech events are the Consumer Electronic Show (CES) and Mobile World Congress (MWC) which hold in Las Vegas and Barcelona respectively. Both events are big deals for mobile phone manufacturers but some manufacturers like Xiaomi have never attended one or both before. However, that will be changing for Xiaomi, as they just announced that they will be attending next year’s edition of CES.

The announcement was made a few hours ago on the company’s official Weibo page. CES 2017 will hold in Nevada, starting on the 5th and ending on the 8th of January.

Xiaomi has also announced that its CES debut will see them launch a new product.

Following the unexpected announcement of the Mi MIX, its hard to guess what this new product might be, but we have faith it will be trending after its announcement.
