Following the impressive launch of the Xiaomi Smart Speaker Pro in February, Xiaomi has once again surprised us with the arrival of a new standard Xiaomi Smart Speaker! This highly anticipated product is now available on major e-commerce platforms for just ¥199, reigniting enthusiasm in the smart home market.
Design: Classic Continuation, Subtle Adjustments
The new Xiaomi Smart Speaker retains the minimalist design of the Pro version, keeping the iconic top light strip for a technologically advanced feel. However, to differentiate its positioning, the standard model features a cleaner light gray shell and is slightly smaller than the Pro version, appearing more compact and refined.
Feature Comparison: Clear Positioning Through Trade-offs
Compared to the Pro version, the standard Xiaomi Smart Speaker makes some functional trade-offs. It omits infrared remote control functionality, and doesn't support Type-C audio connection or the faster Wi-Fi 6 network. In terms of acoustics, the standard model features a 2-inch full-range speaker and a bass enhancement duct. While simpler than the Pro version, it still delivers a decent listening experience.
Core Upgrades: AI Large Model Empowerment, Smarter Interaction
Despite some hardware adjustments, the new Xiaomi Smart Speaker boasts significant enhancements in core functionality, particularly with a comprehensive upgrade to its AI capabilities.
AI Large Model Q&A: The new product integrates advanced AI large model technology. No matter what questions you ask, it can quickly provide accurate and detailed answers, like having a knowledgeable intelligent assistant by your side.
Continuous Multi-turn Dialogue and Interruption: The interaction experience is more natural and smooth. It not only supports continuous multi-turn conversations but also allows interruptions during conversations to respond to new commands, making communication more efficient.
Continuous Voice Control Commands: Controlling smart home devices has never been easier. With a single voice command, you can control multiple smart devices simultaneously, easily achieving whole-house smart scenarios.
Remote Car Preparation: The newly added remote car preparation function is a highlight. Users can not only check vehicle status information at any time but also remotely control functions like air conditioning, ensuring comfortable driving from the moment you get in, making travel more convenient and worry-free.
Summary
Priced at ¥199, the new generation Xiaomi Smart Speaker, while simplifying some hardware configurations compared to the Pro version, achieves significant improvements in intelligent interaction and core functionality thanks to the powerful support of the AI large model. For users seeking value for money and a convenient smart home experience, this is undoubtedly a highly attractive option. Its release will further enrich Xiaomi's smart ecosystem product line, bringing a smarter, more convenient, and more enjoyable life experience to more users.
