Last year, two Xiaomi-backed companies (ZMI and Jisu Life) launched portable fans to beat the heat in summer. A year later, ZMI is back with another such product with a unique design. The company calls this ‘ZMI Hanging Neck Folding Fan’.
The new ZMI portable fan is different than
the model released last year. As the name suggests, this fan can be folded to
position it as per requirement. But the main highlight is that it can be worn
around the neck with the help of the included adjustable nylon lanyard.
According to the company, the fan can be
adjusted from 0° to 120°. Further, other than coming in three colors (White,
Pink, Green), the fan blades also feature RGB LED light. The lighting effect
can be changed via a dedicated button on the side. The product comes with a
brushless motor to run its seven blades. It supports three different speed
settings and can be easily disassembled for cleaning.
As for endurance, ZMI claims 13-hour
battery life in the first gear, 8 hours in the second gear, and only 4 hours in
the third gear. Like most accessories, it charges via USB Type-C and a cable is
included in the box. Last but not least, ZMI Hanging Neck Folding Fan weighs
130g and is priced at ¥ 99 (US$ 15). However, during the product’s first sale on May
15, it will retail for ¥ 89 (US$ 14).
