Xiaomi, which has already launched a few smart speakers in its home market China, has now launched yet another speaker — Xiaomi XiaoAI Portable Speaker. As the name indicates, it’s a compact portable speaker that can be easily carried around.

The speaker, which comes with the company’s own XiaoAI smart voice assistant, is priced at 49 yuan, which roughly converts to $7. It is now available for purchase through the company’s own Xiaomi Youpin website in China.

In terms of design, the new Xiaomi XiaoAI Portable Speaker comes in a compact square-shaped body that looks similar to the FM radio of earlier days. The white-colored product has rounded edges around the corner. The speaker is made up of ABS + PC material and has a USB Type-C port.

For connectivity, it comes with support for Bluetooth 5.0. There are just two buttons at the top of the speaker, along with a microphone — one for power and one for the mic. The XiaoAI smart assistant can be triggered just through a single voice command.

The voice assistant can be used to schedule shutdown time for the speaker, as well as to get information about the connection status and power status. Additionally, it can also be connected to the smartphone for playing songs and audiobooks and controlling the playback using voice commands.

If you are using an MIUI-powered smartphone, then the speaker can be quickly connected through an automated pop-up window for Bluetooth connections. However, the feature is available only for the users of Mi 9 Pro, Mi 10, and Mi 10 Pro at the moment, and support for more devices is being added.

The device can be charged through a USB Type-C port which is placed at the back of the speaker. As per the company, the Xiaomi XiaoAI Portable Speaker should run for about six hours on a single charge.
