Xiaomi always surprises its fans by announcing new innovative products. At the MWC 2019, Xiaomi announced the Mi 9, Mi 9 SE smartphones along with the Xiaomi XiaoAI Mini TV Speaker. The new speaker was unveiled along with other announcements and is well received by the audience as far as the reservations are concerned. The Chinese electronics maker introduced the smart speaker device along with a display, termed as ‘Mini TV’ also. Recently, it has hit a whopping 150,000 reservations on the Xiaomi Mall for the price of 9999 Yuan (not actual pricing).
Speaking on occasion, Tang Mu, Xiaomi’s General Manager of Intelligent Hardware Department said that the numbers are beyond expectations. The company didn’t expect that the device will become this much popular even before the official launch. He is quite amazed by the 150K reservations despite the beta pricing of 9999 Yuan of the Xiaomi XiaoAI Mini TV Speaker.
It is the most expensive product that Xiaomi has listed as public beta on Xiaomi Mall. It is listed as even more costlier than the Mi TV 4S 75 inches. Further, Tang Mu clarified that the price is not actual; it is just indicative pricing. The actual price will follow sometime later when the device will be available for delivery. The Xiaomi XiaoAI Mini TV Speaker’s popularity can be measured from the fact that around 150,000 reservations have been made despite the price of 9999 Yuan.
Xiaomi XiaoAI Mini TV carries a 4-inch touchscreen display to show latest updates as like of Amazon Echo. The ‘Mini TV’ can perform various smart functions such as managing other connected devices. It can voice control smart fittings, set alarms, play music, etc. Its functionalities can be expanded to support more complex situations. For, eg, users can connect their doorstep bell camera with it for seamlessly house guarding. It can show real-time information about different devices and interests you follow.
It carries Xiaomi’s XiaoAI assistant for interaction with other smart devices and humans. It is a newer addition to the Xiaomi’s XiaoAI speaker series. The ‘Mini TV’ is available for beta registrations from February 28th on Xiaomi Mall.
