Xiaomi’s branding and apart from that, it comes with
some improvement in its feature and a more compact size. Despite the
improvements, Xiaomi still retained the 999 yuan (US$ 158) price tag the first-gen
model was launched with.
The Mi Smart RearView Mirror is
compact, packing a 6.86-inch touchscreen display with a resolution of 1280×480
pixels. This is smaller than the 8.88-inch display the first edition features.
It still comes in black color only. There is also an improvement in the cooling
system. An aerospace aluminium material is processed into the unique thermal
wings to greatly increase the cooling efficiency.
In terms of the camera, the Mi RearView mirror packs
a Sony IMX291 image sensor that is capable of capturing anything even in low
light condition. This sensor uses 6 sets of full-glass spherical lenses with
each of them having 9 layers of coating. It comes with a large aperture of
f/1.8 and 150 ° large wide angle.
In addition, the device comes pre-installed with
Advanced driver assistance systems, or ADAS which supports FCW (Forward
Collision Warning), PVS (Preceding Vehicle Starting), and LDW (Lane Departure
Warning). It will save the video before and after the collision. We can even
watch the videos in the rearview mirror as well via a mobile APP in real time.
The gadget also comes with an emergency wake-up system.
The Mi Smart RearView Mirror also supports front and
rear double recording and reversing camera functions, which can clearly and
comprehensively observe the road conditions behind the car and give the driving
process more safety protection. The rearview mirror is also integrated with the
new Small Love AI speaker and so supports voice command. Besides simple
operations such as increasing or decreasing the volume or capturing videos and
photos, you can give ‘smart’ commands such as ‘I would like to go to the
nearest airport’ or ‘play the latest song of Maroon 5’. By the way, this mirror
has a huge amount of media resources including radio stations and music. The smart rearview mirror can also connect to
the Mi Home app such that users can control their connected home appliances
directly from your car.
The Mi RearView Mirror will go on sale on April 3
via Jingdong, Mi Home, Suning, Lynx, Xiaomi Mall etc. simultaneously.
