Earlier today, the Xiaomi Youpin official Weibo announced that it will be launching a new time related product at 10 am on December 11. For the uninitiated, Xiaomi Youpin is the company’s crowdfunding platform, responsible for all the wonderful odd products that get released by them on an almost biweekly basis. Now we’ve got something new coming up.
As we can see from the teaser poster, the new product is probably going to be some sort of clock, possibly an alarm clock. The post mention that the clock supports 16 settings, which they don’t elaborate on. The interesting thing is that Xiaomi already has an alarm clock. It’s one of their most popular products on the crowdfunding platform.

The Xiaomi XiaoAI Smart Alarm Clock, which is possibly one of the most feature-rich alarm clocks in existence, launched in September last year to great reception. It can set 30 separate alarms, use dynamic alarms, broadcast the weather in real time, generate good white noise, setup snooze reminders and even syncs with your phone for reminders.
What we’re getting at here is that the Xiaomi XiaoAI Smart Alarm Clock is an excellent device, so whatever Xiaomi launches will need to improve on it. It’s a high barrier, but it’s also not too hard to imagine an incremental update to the device. We aren’t sure it really warrants a big launch announcement otherwise, so we hope it lives up to the hype.
