Xiaomi Expected to Launch New Bluetooth Speaker in India on February 17
Feb. 13, 2020In an official tweet sent out by Xiaomi India, the company revealed its plans to launcha new audio product in India on 17th February. The caption reads,“Time to go big on sound. While you take a guess, do think about where will you #CarryYourSound.”
The latter half of the caption, along with the silhouette of a speaker’s diaphragm in the video below hints at the arrival of a portable Bluetooth speaker. However, the company could also finally expand into the truly wireless market to compete against theRealme Buds Air. It seems unlikely to me because Xiaomi will tackle that market under Redmi’s brand name, launching theRedmi AirDots(or maybe a second-gen upgrade) sometime later this year.
As for Monday’s launch, Xiaomi will most likely launch the Mi Outdoor Bluetooth speaker that wasunveiledin China last year. It looks like a water bottle with a light and portable design, along with cloth fabric design, a braided lanyard, big 52mm speaker, 360-degree surround, and dual-mic noise reduction. For connectivity, you have Bluetooth 5.0 and a USB Type-C for charging the 2600mAh battery on board.
