Xiaomi has launched a cheaper version of
the three-generation Mi Walkie Talkie. This model is dubbed Mi Walkie Talkie
Lite and carries a price tag of 129 yuan ($18). The lite version is a
trimmed-down version of the Mi Walkie Talkie which was first launched in 2017.
Since then, Xiaomi also launched the Mi Walkie Talkie 1s and Mi Walkie Talkie 2
in 2018 and 2019 respectively.
The Mi Walkie Talkie Lite has a
transmission power of 3W, a range of 1-5 kilometres in an open environment and
1-3 kilometres in an urban environment. There is a 2000mAh battery with a
standby time of up to 5 days. The battery also supports continuous use for 10
hours. This is against the 6 kilometres range and 13 days of long standby of
the MIJIA Walkie Talkie 2.
The entire device weighs only 163 grams
and adopts a hard and scratch-resistant spark design. It is portable and easy
to use and also comes with a quick-release back clip. The 40mm large-diameter
loudspeaker has a 23% larger field sound radiation area than the 36mm
traditional walkie-talkie. The speech sound is more penetrating, and it can
ensure a good call effect in a noisy environment.
The Walkie-Talkie Lite can be paired with
the MIJIA app in order to select a frequency, backup frequency information, and
turn on button-free calls, saying goodbye to traditional cumbersome operations.
After the walkie-talkie enters the pairing mode, the 16 frequency channels of
the walkie-talkie can be copied to other walkie-talkies in the nearby receiving
state at the same time, realizing one-to-many frequency allocation.
The Mi Walkie Talkie Lite is presently
available in China via Xiaomi Youpin.
