Xiaomi has today launched the second-generation model of its Mi AI Speaker that comes with improved sound quality as well as improved Internet of Things (IoT) experience. It is available at a pre-sale price of 199 yuan, approximately US$ 30. Just like its predecessor, this new Mi AI Speaker comes equipped with six ring microphones and has support for Stereo Channel, allowing users to connect two speakers to get a surround sound experience.
It also supports combining multiple
devices for playback in the whole house at the same time. The speaker also
comes with a deeper low-frequency than the previous generation model. The
inverted cabin design of the device also helps in improving the low-frequency
effect. It also comes with a new sound algorithm that offers a wider dynamic
range.
The official listing reveals that the Mi
AI Speaker has support for the Xiaomi IoT platform that has access to more than
271 million smart devices and also has support for 89 IoT platforms, including
Philips and Op. The device also supports XiaoAI and Mijia Smooth Connection,
enabling one-click connect.
With a built-in Bluetooth Mesh Gateway, it
can be connected to hundreds of Bluetooth devices such as Door Locks and
Lights. Such devices can also be configured with the XiaoAI-based voice
commands.
