Xiaomi has launched a Mijia expandable suitcase, aiming to make packing a little easier. Available in 20-inch and 24-inch sizes (priced at 379 yuan and 479 yuan respectively), these sleek suitcases come in gray and blue. The secret is a hidden 6.5cm expansion layer that increases capacity by 30%. The 20-inch case, for example, expands to 52L when needed.

The handle and the wheel base can sink to save space between the case and the ground

This design combines a simple, yet innovative design with smart storage solutions. The handle and wheel base sink to utilize the space between the case and the ground, while an interior webbing and a hidden storage compartment in the pull rod maximize every inch.

Durability is a priority too. The PC material from Covestro boasts a multi-layer pressure-resistant structure for a crack-proof shell. The metal powder technology adds a touch of shine and texture, while the large-diameter universal wheels ensure smooth rolling. The all-aluminum alloy pull rod, treated with anodizing technology, adds a premium touch.

Security is another highlight. The internal TSA combination lock offers peace of mind, while the recessed handle on top allows for temporary item placement. Need a quick workstation on the go? Simply pop your laptop on the handle and the user can get to work. Today, the company also announced the launch of its Robot Vaccum in India on July 9 – check that out here.

Today, Xiaomi announced the Mi Power Bank 3 Pikachu Edition but it turns out that isn’t the only Xiaomi product that got a Pokémon-themed custom edition. The official Xiaomi website contains other items that also got a Pikachu makeover.

Alongside the Mi Power Bank 3, the Xiaomi Pocket Photo Printer, Mi Air 2s TWS earbuds, Mi Backpack 10L, and Xiaomi Suitcase 20-inches also come in customized Pikachu Editions.

The Xiaomi Pocket Photo Printer Pikachu Edition is priced at ¥399 (~$60) and has the popular Pokémon’s smiling face printed on its yellow plastic body. The Mi Air 2s also gets a similar yellow coat of paint for its earbuds and case but a different Pikachu smiling face and a price tag of ¥399 (~$60) too.

The Mi Backpack 10L is ¥59 and comes in Pikachu Yellow with zippers styled like the Pokemon’s tail. It has all the features of the regular backpack including a water repellent coating.

The Xiaomi Suitcase 20-inches Pikachu Edition also has a ¥399 (~$60) price tag with Pikachu’s face on the top and its tail for zippers.

All five products including the power bank are available for purchase on Mi.com and seems will only be available for a limited time. So if you are a Pikachu or Pokémon fan at large, you may want to hurry and grab yours as soon as possible.

Xiaomi isn’t the first manufacturer to launch Pikachu-themed products. OPPO announced a customized Pikachu SuperVOOC power bank and OPPO R17 Pro protective cases in 2018. Razer also has a collection of Pikachu-themed accessories including a custom pair of its hammerhead TWS earbuds that come in a Poké Ball-like case. A few months ago, Anker also announced a range of Pikachu-themed products that include a power adapter, a wireless charger, a charging cable, and a power bank.

Xiaomi, the popular smartphone vendor, has just launched the second iteration of its Metal Carry-on Luggage 2 suitcase. The latest model also features the same aluminium-magnesium alloy as its predecessors. In other words, the material used is strong and light and is priced at 999 Yuan (roughly 141 US Dollars).

The successor of the original Xiaomi Metal Carry-on Luggage suitcase arrives nearly three years after the original, with 110 parts that have been carefully polished. Its external design resembles the original. The primary color follows a silver primary color with horizontal stripes on the body, which has rounded corners. This suitcase will launch on 15th June 2020, so, unfortunately, its finer details are currently unknown.

However, a few educated guesses can be made by looking at the original metal suitcase, which featured a strong and impact resistant body. It sported 4 wear resistant tires as well, and a handle that rose from the back. Looking at the teaser poster image, the latest generation of the Metal Carry-on Luggage suitcase will also sport the TSA lock mechanism for added security. At the moment, we don’t have much to go on, so stay tuned for the launch.

VIDEO REVIEW

The suitcase is made of high-quality PC material that is very strong yet lightweight and scratch-resistant. Therefore, the suitcase is really light, which is important for air travel.

I found the aluminum alloy drawbars to be sturdy and the slide easily. There are 4 segments to adjust the height.

The wheels are one of my favorite parts of this suitcase. They are very smooth and thus, it is very easy to push the suitcase in any direction you want.

I have a 20” suitcase that can fit up to 36l of stuff. There is also a larger 24” model that has the capacity of 64l. The suitcase does not have many fancy compartments or anything but it has a multi-layer design, so you can store everything neatly.

Also, I found the zippers to be working fine and they don’t seem to brake anytime soon. You can simply close the suitcase using the zippers or use the code to lock it up.

All in all, the Xiaomi suitcase is a high-quality product. I can’t assert that this is the one and only good suitcase on the market but for the price of about $70, you are getting a well-made product that uses high-quality materials in the construction, the craftsmanship is outstanding and so far it looks like new after a couple of trips I used it for.
