Fresh off of the launch the recent Mi MIX Alpha,
Xiaomi is now back with something new. It’s a much smaller launch this time
around, with the latest Mi product being the Mi Outdoor Bluetooth Speaker,
which we actually heard about a couple of months back. It’s finally ready to go
on sale, for the price of 199 yuan (US$ 28).
The Mi Outdoor Bluetooth Speaker comes with
Bluetooth 5.0, and in a surprising twist it features a USB-C port (as all
devices should have at this point). There’s a 2600mAh battery with 8-hour
continuous playback, along with 52mm speaker drivers. There are even two HD
microphone pickups, which is a nice touch.
When it comes to the design and build, things also
look pretty good. It features the pill design that many companies have been
going for as of late, but it’s got a few extras. It comes with IP55 dust and
water resistance, which makes sense for an outdoor speaker. The main chassis
utilizes seamless fabric and soft plastic, so it’s light and rugged.
Xiaomi’s Mi Outdoor Bluetooth Speaker will go on
sale at 10:00 on the 26th of September. It’ll be available exclusively from
Xiaomi’s official mall page for 199 yuan (US$ 28). Overall, it seems like a nifty
little bluetooth speaker, and it’s certainly not a bad price for the features
available.
