Chinese tech giant Xiaomi has unveiled the Xiaomi Smart Display 8 Pro in China. The new smart display is the successor to the Smart Display 10 which was launched in April last year as well as the Smart Display 6 launched in July last year.

In terms of specifications, the Xiaomi Smart Display 8 Pro packs an 8-inch LCD screen. The smart home device can be used locally with the central gateway. It also runs on the MIUI Home OS and can be used to control other smart home gadgets. The device can also be used as a music and video streaming gadget. Thanks to its massive built-in 7500mAh battery, the device can be used for a long period without running out of battery.

Xiaomi is yet to reveal the entire hardware details of the device but it is expected to come with similar functionalities as its predecessor, including support for cross-device video calls, interconnection of mobile phones, TVs, and home screens, and remote surveillance of the home. In addition to the linkage control of over 3,000 smart devices, the built-in infrared remote control can also make traditional home appliances smart in seconds. Also, since this is a Pro model, we expect it to come with more sophisticated features.

The Xiaomi Smart Display Pro 8 is expected to be available on pre-sale on August 8. The company is yet to announce the official price of the device. However, it is expected to be in between the price of the Smart Display 10 priced at 999 yuan ($139), and the Xiaomi Smart Display 6 priced at 349 yuan ($48).
