Mi Smart Speaker review: Perfect audio accessory for your smart home set-up
Xiaomi’s
run for value-for-money products continues as the Chinese technology company
forays into categories other than smartphones. After a successful showing in
the smart television and smart fitness wearables space in India, the company
has now entered the smart speaker segment with the launch of Mi Smart Speaker.
The
Mi Smart Speaker is a Google Assistant-powered device, with built-in Chromecast
for easy content streaming. Besides being a smart speaker, it lets you manage
and operate supported internet-of-things (IoT) products through voice commands.
Priced at Rs 3,999, the Mi Smart Speaker is an entry-level voice-enabled
speaker that promises audio quality better than Google’s and Amazon’s budget
smart speakers. But does it live up to its name and promise? Let’s find out:
The
Mi Smart Speaker is a lot bigger and heavier than its palm-sized peers from
Amazon and Google. Its big stature, however, gives it space to accommodate a
2.5-inch audio driver, which is the biggest you get in any entry-level smart speaker.
It is a 12W full-range speaker, with DTS Professional audio tuning. It is
powered by Texas Instruments’ TAS5805M Hi-Fi Audio processor.
