One thing that we just don't digest about Xiaomi is to present fantastic products but unfortunately confined to the Chinese market only, such as the highly anticipated Mi Watch, the first smartwatch completely made in Xiaomi but also the whole series of smart speakers that unfortunately are unusable in our latitudes due to only support for the XiaoAI voice assistant. We struggled a lot before seeing the brand's smart TVs land and finally, at least in part these have arrived in our market, but things could take a positive turn also with regard to smart speakers.
In fact, as you can see from the cover image, Lei Jun's company has announced an event for September 29, the date on which the new Mi Watch Revolve, aka Mi Watch Color, but also other news should be presented. including probably the Xiaomi XiaoAI Art Speaker, which should change its name, by virtue of the fact that even in India, the company's voice assistant is not available. All this therefore suggests that the product will come with support for Google Assistant or Alexa.
A Xiaomi smart speaker with integrated Google / Alexa could debut. The hopes come from India
Of course ours is a hypothesis even if it starts from very solid foundations, in consideration of the teaser we have mentioned. It would be really a bang for Xiaomi to present a smart speaker without XiaoAI but with support for the two global voice assistants, such as Alexa or Google Assistant.
We also assume that it is the XIaomi XiaoAI Art Speaker to debut on the Indian scene, considering that this is one of the latest products in this category presented by the Asian brand, exactly in May. We are therefore talking about a smart speaker characterized by an opaque metal body with touch controls and an LED strip on the top. The sound performance is also noteworthy, thanks to the use of a 2.5-inch Full Range speaker, support for Stereo 2.0 and DTS audio that would therefore allow the pairing of two speakers at the same time, for an enveloping and professional stereo effect. How long are you waiting for such a product?
