After teasing it a few days ago, Xiaomi
has today officially launched the XiaoAI Art Speaker in its home market. With
this launch, it has become the first XiaoAI speaker from the company to come
with a metal body.
It has a textured metal body design with
16 million color aurora light strips. The outer body has a matte fine stone
pattern and comes with seamlessly integrated touch buttons. The device comes
packed with a 2.5-inch full-range speaker.
There’s also a special paper carcass and
voice coil and a U-shaped duct for bass enhancement, along with DTS
professional sound tuning and Stereo 2.0 support. So, two of these can be
connected together for a true stereo sound experience.
Thanks to the XiaoAI, this new smart
speaker from the company can also be used to control more than 2000 smart
devices using voice commands, which covers and supports more than 1,600 life
skills. For those who are unaware, XiaoAI is a smart AI-powered voice assistant
from Xiaomi, similar to Apple Siri and Google Assistant, but it is built
specially for Xiaomi and Redmi products and is currently limited to the Chinese
market.
The Xiaomi XiaoAI Art Speaker is priced at
349 yuan (US$ 49) but will be available for purchase for 299 yuan
from 25th May, which roughly coverts to US$ 42.
