Recently, Xiaomi announced that the company will be launching a new smart speaker in its home country China on 21st May, without revealing any details about the upcoming product. Now, just a day before the official launch, the company has teased its build.
In a new teaser image shared by Xiaomi on its Weibo account, the company has confirmed that the upcoming XiaoAI Smart Speaker will come with a metal body. This will be the first time that a smart speaker from Xiaomi powered by XiaoAI will have a metallic body.

It seems that the company is trying to place the product in the premium range witch such differentiating factor. This makes sense given that Xiaomi has tons of speaker products in the market, which mostly are in the same budget price bracket.
Along with teasing the upcoming smart speaker a few days ago, Xiaomi had also revealed a new milestone in terms of sales. The company had said that the sales of XiaoAI speakers have crossed the 22 million units mark.
While the company has revealed that the upcoming speaker will have metal body, nothing about the device in terms of specifications has been revealed and oddly, nothing has been leaked so far. However, the launch is just a few hours away so we don’t have to wait longer to know what it packs, how it’s priced and when it’ll be available for purchase.
For those who are unaware, XiaoAI is a smart AI-powered voice assistant from Xiaomi, similar to Apple Siri and Google Assistant, but it is built specially for Xiaomi and Redmi products and is currently limited to the Chinese market.
