The multiple phone launches this week didn’t leave
enough time to cover some other interesting products such as this cute little
Bluetooth speaker from Xiaomi. Launched on Xiaomi’s crowdfunding platform, the
Elvis Presley Atomic Player B612 is an interesting-looking speaker.
There are tons of Bluetooth speakers on the market
and the only way to stand out is to adopt a unique design and that is exactly
the case for the Atomic Player. First, its footprint is small but its retro
player-like design (and color) will surely draw people’s attention.
Apart from serving as a Bluetooth speaker, it can
also connect to wireless networks and stream music from a bunch of services
including Apple Music and QQ Music. Owners are required to download the OhPlay
app. It also has a built-in FM radio (120KHz – 20KHz).
The Atomic Player is made of a zinc-aluminum alloy
with a retro-green finish and some silver-colored parts. A 400mAh built-in
battery which is said to last up to 7 hours on a single charge and charges via
a MicroUSB port powers the device.
The player measures 63 x 47 x 30mm and weighs 130g.
It comes in a colorful box which contains a small carrying bag, a lanyard
cable, and a braided cable. It is priced at ¥ 249 (US$ 37) and will begin to ship
September 22. It will be sold on Xiaomi’s crowdfunding platform. Below are
