Xiaomi is known for a wide variety of products other than smartphones. It is also one of the leading wearable brands.

The company sells different types of smartwatches, including a series targeted at kids. But this lineup largely remains exclusive to China.

Xiaomi’s kids smartwatch series uses ‘Mitu’ branding. According to a finding, the company will soon introduce a new model in the lineup.

An upcoming Xiaomi wearable for kids has been spotted in the IMEI database by Xiaomiui. As per the listing, this product bears model number MTSB25XUN and will be officially called Mitu Kids Smartwatch 7X.

As the name suggests, it will be the successor of the Mitu Kids Smartwatch 6X from 2022. But unfortunately, the listing does not reveal anything about the device.

Given that the wearable has been listed in the IMEI database, it should have cellular connectivity, like the previous models. This will enable the wearers to make audio/video calls to parents/guardians, chat via WeChat/QQ, update real-time location, and more.

We can expect the product to have a sturdy design and come in attractive colors. It should be water-resistant and feature a camera and a microphone.

Going by its predecessor, the Mitu Kids Smartwatch 7X should also offer educational apps, contactless payment support, basic workout modes, and more. This device will likely be announced quietly via social media.

Xiaomi started as a software company with MIUI as its sole product. Lately, the firm’s Android skin is being criticized worldwide for a wide variety of issues. Hence, the tech giant has been trying to resolve the matter by delaying the MIUI 13 release. We have been learning more about the upcoming features of the next version of MIUI in the last few days. According to the latest information, Xiaomi’s Android devices may lose an iconic uniqueness.

Ever since Xiaomi started selling smartphones, it has been popular among the modding community. In fact, its devices are most favored by developers. That’s because Xiaomi is known for allowing bootloader unlock and releasing proper kernel sources, unlike most Chinese OEMs. Secondly, the company’s devices offer a better price to performance ratio and are also affordable when compared to products from other brands.

If you are one of those custom ROM users of Xiaomi, you should be familiar with the fastboot screen on your devices. For years, this screen has had a picture of a rabbit fixing an Android with a blue-colored ‘FASTBOOT’ text below it. No other OEM has this sort of uniqueness. Unfortunately, the company has removed it in the latest MIUI Weekly Beta release.

According to a report by ITHome, Xiaomi has now replaced the image with a simple yellow-colored ‘FASTBOOT’ text for the fastboot screen in MIUI Beta 21.11.16 release. It is a known fact that the new changes in MIUI are first introduced in the weekly beta channel. However, not all of them make their way to the stable channel. If Xiaomi really intends to change the fastboot screen, it will be most likely be introduced with MIUI 13 update.

Xiaomi has been shedding its past as time moves on. The rabbit in the fastboot screen is none other than the company’s official mascot. It is known as Mitu in China, while internationally it’s called Mi Bunny.

In the past few years, Xiaomi has removed Mi Bunny (Mitu) from almost everywhere in international markets. It can be currently only seen in error pages on Mi.com, in addition to the fastboot screen, which is also going away.

MiTu Children’s Watch 2S supports AI real-time positioning, and can accurately pinpoint the user’s location, regardless of whether they’re indoors in large shopping malls, at high-speed rail stations or even on airfields. The built-in 600mAh battery paired with the watch’s low power chip means it can achieve up to 7 days of standby on a single charge.

The watch also has a built in AI assistant called a XiaoAI classmate. It features AI question answering, chatting, playing music, encyclopedic questioning, essentially things that most AI assistants can do. It also features the ability to stay silent during classes, which can be enabled through the MiTu app. This leaves it with only time checking and SOS messages. Overall, it’s a relatively solid watch for children, especially with the inexpensive price.
