To celebrate 5 amazing years, Xiaomi have announced the launch of 5 new products at a Mi Fan Event next month. Keep reading for the details.
Itβs hard to believe that the 4th largest phone maker in the world only started life 5 years ago! Xiaomi have had an amazing half decade and to celebrate their rise to success have announced 5 new products.
The devices include a new pink version of the Xiaomi Mi Note, the 55-inch version of the MiTV 2, a Mi Power Strip, Mi Smart Scale and Redmi 2A.
Mi Note Pink Edition
The pink version of the Mi Note is basically the same phone as the basic version of the current Mi Note but with a limited edition pink finish under the curved glass and alloy exterior. Being a special edition version of the phone the pink model also comes with a 5000mAh Xiaomi power bank all for the low cost of only 2499 Yuan.
MiTV 2 55-inch
The MiTV 2 gets supersized to 55-inch. The larger flat screen TV boasts a 55-inch 4K Ultra LED Samsung panel, MStar 6A928 processor, 2GB RAM, Wireless sounder and all new aluminium subwoofer.
Pricing of the MiTV 2 55-inch is 4999 Yuan in China, but donβt expect to see many of these available internationally yet as import tax is very high.
Mi Power Strip
Gizchina News of the week
The Mi Power Strip is a new slim charging strip that is around the same thickness as a pencil-case. The Power Strip houses 3 power sockets and 3 USB ports which provide fast 2A charging. Xiaomi have also added a childproof internal shutter mechanism and surge protected USBβs all for just 49 Yuan.
Mi Smart Scale
The Xiaomi Smart Scale was leaked ahead of the launch, and we had already seen the white glass bathroom accessory, but more details have now been released. The Mi Smart Scale is compatible with both Android and iOS devices and will connect via your Mi Fit App. Cost is just 99 Yuan, so 100 Yuan cheaper than Meizuβs similar device.
Xiaomi Redmi 2A
Last but not least is the China Mobile only version of the Xiaomi Redmi 2A. The phone will cost only 499 Yuan on the day of the Mi Fan Festival with the price rising to 599 Yuan after. The Redmi 2A is the Leadcore powered phone we have been waiting to see launched and will feature 1GB RAM, 8 mega-pixel Omnivision rear camera, and a 2200mAh battery.
Xiaomi will turn 5 years old on April 6 withe the Mi Fan Festival taking part on the 8th of April. As well as the new products Xiaomi fans will also be able to pick up a limited edition Mi4 with 2GB RAM for 1699 Yuan, and will even be able to get up to 50% of Xiaomi accessories.

The TV is way too much, the Redmi 2A is a 1S in disguise but it should help sales (as opposed to just selling the 1S at 599CNY).
The pink Note is hilarious, they really need to grow up before going outside China. Making a pink version to target women is insulting and sexist and wouldn’t fly in the west (see the recent mess in the UK with the Labour Party pink political mini-bus https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sWRXr2Yu9g ).
And don’t forget the Mi4 price cut and the addition of the 2GB RAM version.
It should be faster than the Redmi 1S and Redmi 2.
The Leadcore SoC is quad A7 at 1.5GHz so no.
Redmi 2 is a Snapdragon 410 @1,2 GHz, Redmi 1S Snapdragon 400 @1,6GHz. But wait until we see some comparisons with the 1S and 2.
There is nothing to wait for, no room for surprises.
The Redmi 2 is too slow as it is, Xiaomi is just spamming.
Pink day is Breast Cancer awareness day in the west. On that day most sporting events people wear Pink! the Pink phone could be for this.
Hahaha.. Yes.. Such a terrible move from Xiaomi. It starts with pink phones but what wil be next? No right to vote? Bigger wage gap between man snd woman? I think all western woman should go in the streets and burn all the pink π π
Anyways. Lucky for us. Asian woman are still normal.
Btw. Now i understand why Xiaomi didnt rease black versiom of Mi 4 and Mi Note. Theyre worried of big unrest in Africa and USA π
Hi Andi, do you have an idea regarding a possible release date for the Xiaomi MI4 2GB version for international buyers? Any news regarding the IUNI U3 MINI? the Jiayu S4?
I am really tempted to get the Nubia Z9 Mini but it is sold around 280β¬. Is it worth to buy it at that cost?
Think out of Box Xiaomi…just rehash is not innovation….
Mi Power Strip.
not so original as you might think search for Orico HPC-2a4u.
well the 55 inch 4k tv for 799$ is quite nice if you ask me, if it’s available internationally it’ll sell well.
how about smart scales?http://flosmall.com/blog/314-what-product-xiaomi-released-make-girls-worry
Finally they dropped Mi4’s price to 1799 yuan also released 2GB version with 1699 yuan price tag.
They will drop the price when the Mi5 is announced.
If it isn’t any trouble, can you kindly point me to some AliExpress sellers who are selling
genuine Chinese phones. I haven’t ordered from Aliexpress, so it will be
very helpful if you can point me to some genuine seller over there for
the phones you have purchased(Xiaomi, Meizu, Jiayu, Zenfone, etc.)
One of my friends ordered a phone from AlieXpress and found out it was fake, which is why I am asking for any suggestion about alixpress.
can recommend this shop: http://www.aliexpress.com/store/1153179
bought mi4 there in november, no problems and tax free for europe!!!
also, if you ask seller, you can get even 5 usd off probably. π
Thanks a lot for the suggestion kocja. π
