Mijia is the sub-brand from Xiaomi through which it sells smart home products. Most of the smart home devices that have won 2018 iF Design Award can be seen sporting a minimalist design and they come with affordable pricing. Well-known tech companies have been selling aesthetically pleasing devices like iPhone X, Galaxy Note 8 and so on with exorbitant pricing. However, Xiaomi has always strived to maintain that a well-designed product does not mean that it should carry costly price tag.
