Xiaomi India has scheduled its Smarter Living 2022 event for August 26 at 12 PM. For those who don’t know, ‘Smarter Living’ is the Chinese tech giant’s annual launch event in India to unveil a bunch of ecosystem products. That said, though the company has just begun to tease this year’s edition, it has already revealed some of the products that will be announced next week.

According to exclusive resorts by Moneycontrol and India Today, Xiaomi has confirmed to launch a high-end WiFi router, a security camera, Mi Band 6, and a Mi Notebook at the ‘Smarter Living 2022’ event in India on August 26.

As a whole, the company is said to announce 5-6 products across entertainment, connectivity, and security categories. Unfortunately, though the firm has revealed four products, we have very few details about them, except for the Mi Band 6, which is being sold in multiple markets for months now.

As of now, Xiaomi has only confirmed that the upcoming Mi Notebook model will not only have a backlit keyboard but also a built-in webcam. These two features are not present on the Mi Notebook 14 and Mi Notebook 14 Horizon Edition released last year.

Further, the official Mi TV India is also teasing a product. Hence, we can expect either new Mi TV models or a Mi TV streaming device. Other than that, Xiaomi has confirmed India Today that the firm will also launch a new pair of truly wireless earphones but at a later date.

Since we are more than a week away from Xiaomi Smarter Living 2022 event, we expect the company to tease the products leading up to the day of their launch.

Xiaomi India has begun to tease the launch of Mi-branded laptops in India. A new teaser shared by the brand today gives us a glimpse of the model it is going to launch first. Also, the company’s chief business officer shared some details about the laptops they are going to release in India.

Xiaomi has changed the smartphone market of India since its entry. It has been leading the market for 11 quarters (close to 3 years). The company is even leading the smart TV and the wearable segments. Now, it is all set to shake up the laptop industry of the country as well.

People have been requesting Xiaomi to bring their laptops to India for years. The company’s top-level executives confirmed their arrival by posting teaser videos with ‘Its time’ and #WhatsNextFromMi.

The very next day, Raghu Reddy, the chief business officer of Xiaomi India revealed some information about the company’s laptop strategy to the Economic Times. 

According to him, Xiaomi will not follow its smartphone model of affordability by launching entry-level laptops. Also, it won’t flood the markets with too many models. Instead, the company will target power users such as content creators, gamers, and students.

#WhatsNextFromMi? This video holds the answer.

Mi fans, take the screenshot and share in comments when you see it.

He also revealed that they were planning to launch laptops ahead of Diwali festive season. But the current ‘work from home’ situation has increased the short-term demand compared to the past.

Mr Reddy also hinted Xiaomi will be launching ‘thin and light’ and ‘gaming’ laptops in the country since these two segments witnessed a growth rate of 70-80% and 5% last year. Anyway, it is worth noting that India’s laptop market fell by 26.5% in Q1 2020 compared to Q4 2019.

Further, he also mentioned the difficulty of demonstrating products from a new brand offline. But he believes Xiaomi can leverage its brand presence in retail with strong marketing.

Last but not least, the company also has plans to start manufacturing laptops locally in India after reaching a certain level of monthly sales.

Xiaomi sells a number of products and one of them is laptops. Unfortunately, they are limited to China and the company has never made them available outside its home country. Thankfully, it is going to change soon as executives of Xiaomi India has begun to tease the launch of Mi laptops in the country.

𝐈𝐓'𝐒 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 !!

Mi fans, you have waited and waited and waited. And now, IT's TIME!

Whenever Xiaomi is set to launch a new product in India, it is first teased by Manu Kumar Jain, the managing director of Xiaomi India, followed by other top-level executives. The same has happened for the launch of Mi branded laptops in the country.

One might be wondering why we are confident that it will be a Mi Notebook. That’s because the hashtag they are using clearly says #WhatsNextFromMi and not #WhatsNextFromRedmi.

Also, the executives are speaking two words in their teaser videos – “It’s time” closing the lid of their laptops. Although this means Xiaomi is finally bringing laptops to India after years of requests, some people on Twitter think the company could be launching Mi Watch instead.

Having said that, the laptop model Xiaomi has planned to launch in India is still a mystery. It worth noting that the launch of Redmibooks was tipped in late April and even one of the models was spotted on BIS certification portal.

On the other hand, Xiaomi India is teasing a Mi-branded product and not Redmi. This means only one thing and that is the company could be rebranding a RedmiBook with a Mi moniker.

Xiaomi may have got plans to expands its laptop portfolio with up to side new models which have just received Bluetooth SIG certification. The mobile PCs belong to the Mi and Redmi brands with some powered by AMD’s latest Ryzen chipset.

The models recently certified are listed as RedmiBook 14 and 16 and are expected to be powered by AMD’s new Ryzen 4000 mobility APUs. Also listed is a new Mi Laptop 13.3 as well as a 14-inch and 16.1-inch versions. There is also a Mi Notebook 14 variant and all fur models are likely to be equipped only with Intel’s Comet Lake-H processors.

The RedmiBook 14 Ryzen Edition 2nd Generation is an upgraded version of the RedmiBook 14 which was launched last year. The RedmiBook 16 is a new 16-inch version dubbed RedmiBook 16 Ryzen Edition. The other four models include the Mi Laptop 13.3 / 14 / 16.1 and a Mi Notebook 14, which are brand new additions to the Xiaomi mobile PC portfolio. It is not yet clear if these four devices will be getting Ryzen CPUs, as well, but seeing how many OEMs are jumping on AMD’s bandwagon as of late, chances are in favour of such a move.

The Bluetooth SIG certification page shows all the models except the Mi Laptop 13.3 will feature support for Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity. The Mi Laptop 13.3 will come with Bluetooth 5.1 certification. This is an indication that it could also be integrating an advanced Wi-Fi module.

We await additional information to pop-up about the upcoming Xiaomi mobile PCs.

At exactly 0.00 hours on new year’s day, Xiaomi Notebook arm posted a teaser poster on its official Weibo page. The poster suggests the Mi Notebook series will be getting a redesign this year.

The Mi Notebook series launched its first product in 2016 and since then, there has not been a major change in the design of the laptop models that have been launched so far. It is usually confusing knowing which of the model is the first, second or third-gen Notebook model since they all kinda look alike. That will likely change this ear going by the teaser poster.

Apart from changes and upgrade in the hardware aspect, the new Notebook may see a big change in its design. The bezels around the display may likely get trimmed down in such a way that all four sides are equal and at their barest minimum level.

This design style has already been put to use by Xiaomi on the RedmiBook giving it a full-screen-like design. The full-screen design makes the computer look smaller but give some extra viewing space to the screen. We expect the optimization and hardware to be higher than the RedmiBook, though. We expect more details of the upcoming Mi Notebook 2020 model to emerge in the coming days.

Xiaomi is selling different sized Mi NoteBooks with a different set of features via its official Mi Store in China. Last year, they introduced 15.6-inch and 13.3-inch Notebooks featuring Intel i3/i5/i7 chipsets. The Chinese electronics maker’s products always share similarities with Apple devices.

Xiaomi will also upgrade its core specifications along with its lightweight and portability features. Only limited information regarding its specs and pricing is available. As always, new Mi Notebook will drive its design language from predecessors and Apple’s Macbook. We expect some more information to reveal via official teasers and renders ahead of its launch.

The Mi Notebook Pro continues to feature a minimalistic design, but now the laptop is sturdier than before. The company has used a magnesium alloy frame to increase the strength and Xiaomi was kind enough to show us how the laptop came out undamaged even with ninebot going over it multiple times.

There’s one color option available — dark gray, which looks pretty good. It weighs 1.95kgs, which isn’t too light but quite manageable. The design has a few upgrades internally, with a special cooling system featuring larger heat pipes and sinks, expanded fans, thereby making sure that the laptop temperature is controlled at all times.

As for the specs, the Mi Notebook Pro comes in three different variants. There’s a Core i7 (8th Gen) model clocked up to 4GHz along with 16GB of RAM, another Core i7 model but with a smaller 8GB RAM module and finally a less powerful Core i5 variant with 8GB RAM. Note that these are DDR4 dual Channel memory. Also, the laptop features a 256GB PCIe SSD. There’s a dedicated NVIDIA GeForce MX150 graphics card as well.

We’ve been getting bits and pieces over the past few weeks about the Mi Notebook, but what we have today is more than bits and pieces. It’s a real life image to whet your appetite.

A real life image of a man using what appears to be the Xiaomi Mi Notebook was posted online today. The image shows the side view of an all-metal PC which fits the description of the Mi Notebook, although the Mi logo is not visible. The picture also shows the Mi Notebook sporting very thin bezels.

From the image we can confirm it will indeed have a USB Type-C port for charging. There’s also a full size port beside it which should probably USB 3.0.

Another picture shows a close-up view of the arrow keys which also double as page keys and home and end keys.

Previous leaks revealed the price and a new bunch of specs. The standard version will cost 3999 Yuan (roughly $600) and will feature a low power Intel Core-i5 processor, 8GB DDR4 RAM, and 256GB of SSD storage.

The Mi Notebook Pro on the other hand will feature a 15.6″ screen, an Intel Core i7-6700HQ processor, an NVIDIA GTX 970M 4GB DDR5 graphics card, 16GB DDR4 RAM, and 512GB of SSD storage all for a 6699 Yuan (roughly $1000) price tag.

There’s also a spec comparison sheet which compares the Mi Notebook Pro to other PCs such as the Lenovo Yoga 700, an Asus ROG PC, and the Macbook Pro. While it isn’t the cheapest on the list, it still holds the award for value for money seeing as it offers more storage than the  Lenovo and Macbook Pro and has the same graphics card as the ASUS ROG. The sheet also shows that the Mi Notebook Pro will be able to offer up to 6 hours of battery life.

The launch  is just 2 days away, so we should be able to know if these leaks are true or are just meant to set us off course.

The post Real Photos and Price of Mi Notebook Leaks appeared first on Gizmochina.

Reports have emerged that the much touted Xiaomi Notebook or Mi Notebook if you like, will not be available in large  amounts when finally launched. We had earlier quoted supply chain sources who disclosed that Xiaomi targets shipments of about 1 million units of the Mi Notebook when launched.

In a new twist, it has been reported by industry sources that Xiaomi is likely to ship just 300,000 units of the Mi Notebook this year, far lower than the 1 million units targeted.

The Taipei Times quoted supply chain sources hinting at a cut in supply occasioned by the persistent postponement of the release date of the notebook PCs by several quarters.

The sources further disclosed that production of the laptops is split between Xiaomi’s long-term assembly partner Inventec Corp and Winstron Corp, with Inventec expected to deliver 150,000 units of the 12-inch sized Notebooks, while Winstron will deliver another 150,000 units but this time of the bigger size 13-inch Xiaomi Notebook.

When contacted by the Taipei Times, an official of Inventec is said to have confirmed that the company would start shipping the 12-inch units of the Mi Notebook laptop beginning from the end of July but the said official refused to confirm the total shipments expected to come from his company. Another official, however, disclosed via telephone, quite disappointingly, that “the initial shipments for the products are not massive”.

While Winstron declined to comment on the matter, industry analysts affirmed the possibility of the Xiaomi’s Notebook shipment terminating at only 300,000 units for this year as a result time constraint.

Xiaomi is expected to launch its first Notebook PC alongside the Xiaomi Redmi Pro flagship smartphone in a news conference already scheduled for next week’s Wednesday. Going by this latest report, fans outside China who have been waiting to get their units of the Mi Notebook may have to wait a little longer even after it is unveiled, as just 300,000 units will be available and that amount would likely get consumed in the Chinese market. It is expected, though, that shipments would increase next year as Xiaomi aims to expand its market outside China and this cheap Macbook Pro look-alike would be one of the company’s drivers for the proposed international expansion.
