Xiaomi launched a new Bluetooth speaker back in September dubbed Mi Outdoor Bluetooth Speaker. We bumped into a couple of pictures of the Bluetooth speaker recently which gave a clearer view of the design details. We thought you’d like to have a look at them.
The pictures come courtesy of Chinese blog Toutiao and they capture the device from all angles. The speaker looks similar to the Mi Pocket Bluetooth Speaker 2 and even adopts the same conical shape for which the portable speaker is known. It is also a portable product but with a taller form factor than the previous model. The buttons are also placed in a new direction. Apart from that, the speaker no longer uses a front blasting speaker design but blasts from the side. The body is covered with seamless fabric and soft plastic, making it not only lightweight but also rugged.

The power button is located at the bottom of the speaker removing any chance of interference. The previous model uses a rotating speaker head which also doubles as the power button when pressed. However, the speaker often turns on and off repeatedly if kept inside a bag while on the move. That won’t likely happen with this model. The volume rockers are located at the side.
At the bottom edge, there is a USB-C port which delivers fast charging. The charging port has a rubber cover to aid the waterproof feature. The speaker as IP55 waterproof and dustproof protection. 
Crammed inside is a 2600mAh battery which is said to deliver up to 8 hours of continuous playback. There is also Bluetooth 5.0 on board as well as 52mm speaker drivers and two HD microphone pickup. It even has an attractive lanyard for carrying it around.
The Mi Outdoor Bluetooth Speaker comes with a 199 yuan ($28) price tag. Check out more pictures of the speaker from below.
