Xiaomi today launched its second umbrella in the space of three weeks under the MIJIA crowdfunding platform. The umbrella is an automatic foldable umbrella with a protective coat that can keep the rains from penetrating. 

The main highlight of the umbrella is its automatic foldable design which makes it easy to open and close it automatically. This, in turn, makes it easy to open and close the umbrella with just one hand. The umbrella uses a nylon material that keeps the rain at bay and there is a second coat on top which protects from ultraviolet rays. The umbrella can thus be used during the rainy season and even in sunny conditions.

Xiaomi’s smart home brand, Mijia, teased a new product yesterday with a tagline that roughly translates to ”protection from UV”. The product is expected to launch tomorrow, 4th of August at 10:00 am.

Today, the company’s Weibo page uploaded another teaser image which shows a roof made of ceramic tiles. The post which is accompanied with a text that translates to ”a protection from rain” hints at an umbrella that can also block out UV Rays, if you merge it with yesterday’s teaser.
