Xiaomi’s new products in India include a speaker, a soap dispenser and shoes

Xiaomi has announced a wide range of new products for India under the slogan “smarter life”, further pushing the devices of its ecosystem beyond smartphones. Some of them have already gone on sale in China in modified form, but they are all new to India.

First is the Mi Watch Revolve, which looks a lot like a product sold in China as the Mi Watch Color, which was almost identical to the Amazfit GTR. The Revolve has a 1.39-inch round OLED screen with 326 ppi, and Xiaomi claims up to a week of battery life.

It’s unclear what software Revolve is running, but in the screenshots it looks similar to what’s shipped on Amazfit watches like the T-rex, and it’s certainly not Wear OS. Amazfit is part of the Xiaomi ecosystem, so it would make sense for the software to be shared at least to some extent.

The Mi Watch Revolve will go on sale on October 6 for Rs. 9,999 (~ $ 135) until Diwali, when the price will rise to Rs. 10,999 ($ ​​149).

Xiaomi is adding even more to its line of wearable devices by launching the Mi Smart Band 5 in India. The fitness band has a 20 percent larger 1.1-inch OLED screen, is water resistant to 50 meters, and should last two weeks on a charge.

Mi Smart Band 5 will go on sale for Rs. 2,499 ($ ​​34) on October 1.

Perhaps Xiaomi’s most traditional wearable to date, the company is also introducing its new Mi Athleisure shoes. Described as “the perfect training partner,” they resemble Xiaomi’s version of the Nike Roshe Run, with mesh fabric and an oversized EVA sole.

Athleisure shoes will go on sale for just Rs. 1,499 ($ ​​20).

Next up is the Mi Automatic Soap Dispenser, of all things. This device uses automatic hand detection to wash hands without contact; You can store 300ml of soap for up to 375 hand washes. Xiaomi says it dispenses soap in a quarter of a second.

It will be available for Rs. 999 ($ ​​14).

We also have the Mi Smart Speaker, which uses the Google Assistant and has a blue Alexa-style ring around the top. Xiaomi says it focuses heavily on sound quality with this product, using a 12 W speaker and a 63.5mm driver. Two can be paired for stereo sound.

The Mi Smart Speaker will go on sale on October 1 for an introductory price of Rs. 3,499 ($ ​​47), which is an impressive achievement if it can live up to Xiaomi’s audio quality claims. We will have to prove that for ourselves.

Finally, Xiaomi presents a new low-cost smart bulb called the Mi Smart LED Bulb. It has a B22 accessory for Indian homes, can be controlled through the Mi Home app or with a voice assistant, and is now available for Rs. 499 ($ ​​7).
