​

Xiaomi has officially rolled out its newest Xiaomi Smart Speaker, priced at only 199 yuan (~$27), now pre-orderable on Xiaomi Mall. The device will become officially on sale at 10:00 AM on April 29, with affordable smart home management with great features. The new speaker features a built-in Super XiaoAi assistant, making it possible to easily voice-command with Xiaomi’s smart ecosystem. In contrast with its counterpart priced at 299 yuan, this new one is more compact and less expensive.

The speaker is compact, yet filled with features designed for smart living. Its Super XiaoAi assistant gives faster responses and has support for extensive smart home integrations.

​

The most thrilling features are all packed into this reasonably priced device:

• Seamless Command Control: Manage several smart devices with a single unbroken sentence.
• Multi-round Conversation Support: Talk naturally with the speaker for a more seamless user experience.
• AI-Driven Q&A Engine: In-built AI large model allows for extensive answers to a wide variety of questions.
• Smart Home Compatible: Intuitive integration with door locks, lights, air purifiers, and other devices through Xiaomi’s smart ecosystem.

While it lacks Wi-Fi 6, infrared control, or Type-C audio like its Pro counterpart, the new Xiaomi Smart Speaker remains an excellent option for customers looking for basic features without paying as much. It’s also 100 yuan (~$14) less than its Pro counterpart, making it perfect for either first-time smart speaker buyers or for adding an extra to an existing setup.
