Xiaomi will show a compact smart speaker at the presentation Mi Mix 2S

Recently, Vice President Xiaomi on the ecosystem Mi Ecosystem has promised a "small" surprise at the official premiere of the frameless smartphone Mi Mix 2S . It seems that the top manager was talking about a miniature version of the "smart" column Mi AI Speaker, which the company released last year. Spy photos of new items have already got to the network.

Assistant to each house

Apparently, Xiaomi Mi AI Speaker Mini (the name is not final) will receive four microphones for voice recognition, as well as a control panel with LED indicator, volume buttons, mute and pause / playback buttons. Speaking of the possibilities of a smart speaker, the first model of the company allows you to listen to online music and audiobooks, supports the management of the smart house and allows you to create reminders.

All these functions are designed for Chinese users, but there is a small chance to see the device on the international market. Last month, Xiaomi announced a partnership with Microsoft, including in the field of creating columns with a virtual assistant. We are waiting for the version with Cortana?

Perhaps Xiaomi will also announce the beginning of sales of the limited edition of columns presented a half a year ago with a girl figure:

Price and release date

Presentation of the smartphone Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S and "smart" assistant will be held on March 27. According to preliminary data, In China, a compact column can be bought for 199 yuan, which is about $ 31. The same is the model of the partner Yeelight Voice Assistant .

For comparison, after the winter holidays, the price of competitors Amazon Echo Dot and Google Home Mini grew from $ 30 to $ 50 standard.
