Xiaomi makes a wide range of products, although a lot of them are only sold in its home country of China. One of such products is its smart door locks, and it has a new one that has a feature that is available on most smartphones these days which is face unlock.

The Xiaomi Smart Door Lock X uses a self-made 3D structured light face recognition module. The face unlock system includes a dot projector, infrared light, RGB camera, light sensor, proximity sensor, and an infrared camera. Xiaomi says the door will unlock once a recognized face is in proximity.

Apart from face unlock, the Xiaomi Smart Door Lock X also supports seven other unlock methods including fingerprint, password, and NFC. The door will also automatically lock once you shut it and will alert you when an unrecognized person is at the door.

There is a massive 6250mAh battery inside the door lock. Although Xiaomi doesn’t say, it should be rechargeable. We also don’t know how long the battery will last before it needs to be recharged.

The Xiaomi Smart Door Lock X not only works with Xiaomi’s own Mijia app but is also compatible with Apple HomeKit. The app will not only allow users to configure the smart door lock but will also log in usage, so you can check when access was granted and who it was granted to as the door lock also takes a photo of who used the door.

Xiaomi is yet to reveal the price of the door lock but it has announced that it will be available for pre-order starting on Tuesday, 12th October.
