Back in May, Xiaomi launched XiaoAI Speaker Art in China priced at 349 yuan ($51). This very same speaker later debuted as Mi Smart Speaker powered by Google Assistant in India and Europe. Now, the Chinese tech giant has announced a battery edition of this product in its home country for 399 yuan ($59).

The newly launched Xiaomi XiaoAI Speaker Art Battery Edition is identical to the standard variant except for the presence of a 4,850mAh battery. The company claims it to offer up to 6.5 hours of music playback on a full charge. Most importantly, users can now take it anywhere as they wish.

Since it is the same speaker with battery, it features a 2.5-inch 12W full-range speaker with two custom bass boosters and DTS Sound tuning.

Further, the speaker’s body is made of metal featuring 10,531 sound holes, whereas its top comes with a 16 million RGB LED strip along with capacitive buttons for play/pause, volume control, and enable/disable the dual far-field microphone.

Just like the regular model, this one can be also connected in pairs for 2.0 stereo sound and also supports LHDC audio format. Last but not least, it is powered by Texas Instruments TAS5805M chipset and features dual-band WiFi 5 and Bluetooth 4.2.

The Xiaomi XiaoAI Speaker Art Battery Edition is currently limited to China and will go on sale starting November 1. As Xiaomi is now selling the standard version in global markets, there’s a little chance for the company to bring this variant to other regions.

Xiaomi India has scheduled a launch event called “Smarter Living 2021” for September 29. The company is expected to launch a number of products such as Mi Smart 4 and Mi Watch Revolve to name a couple. Ahead of the event, the firm has been teasing these upcoming products on social media. Today’s teaser suggests that one of these forthcoming smart products will be XiaoAI Speaker Art.

The Xiaomi XiaoAI Speaker Art launched in China in the month of May for 349 yuan (₹3,383/$51). It is still selling for the same price in the country. Hence, we can expect it to be priced around ₹5,000 ($68) in India.

In Chian, this speaker is powered by Xiaomi’s XiaoAI voice assistant but in India, it should either feature Amazon Alexa or Google Assitant. Apart from that, the speaker may launch with a different name, however, with the same design and specifications.

That means, it will feature a metal build with 10,531 holes and a 16 million RGB LED strip at the top with capacitive touch keys for volume control, play/pause, and enable/disable far-field microphones.

It comes with a 2.5-inch speaker with DTS sound. It can be also paired with a second unit to experience 2.0 stereo sound. As for connectivity, it sports dual-band WiFi 5 and Bluetooth 4.2.

Last but not least, it can be paired easily with devices running MIUI 12 but we are not sure if this feature will be available in India.
