At Xiaomi’s press conference in Beijing earlier, CEO Lei Jun announced several new products in its smart home lineup, including a plug extension called the Mi Power Strip.
The Mi Power Strip is similar in size to a pencil case. It has three power sockets and three surge-protected USB ports with 2.1A quick charging. The housing is made from fire-resistant materials, capable of withstanding 750 degrees of heat.Terminals within the power strip are made of phosphor bronze, built on a copper bar connectivity system.

Besides that, it also has a maximum overload protection of 10A. At the bottom, the Mi Power Strip has anti-slip rubber paddings, while on the top a subtle light indicator can be found on the switch.
The Mi Power Strip will be sold for a mere 49 Yuan, and is likely to only be available in China for now.
Is it 99 or 49 Yuan?
49 Yuan
So they finally released something worth buying in 2015,
I would love to see a version without the wall outlets and five 2.1A USB ports, or a 3 USB ports only option for a cheaper price.
I guess the reseller price would be about $18-20 if the price is in fact 49 yuan as the image say.
Should be $10-15 since they’re already selling the new 99rmb piston at $25-30.
wow ,xiaomi is so strong .it is said that this power strip has four important functions .http://flosmall.com/blog/321-four-important-functions-about-xiaomi-s-new-product-xiaomi-power-strip
Pretty good.
Well if this one is around $15 I’m definitely getting one. Not sure it can handle EU style plugs ( looks like it can though ) but I have enough Chinese devices anyway so that’s not a problem.
Si eu sper sa fie disponibil la pretul asta, peste 15 dolari ar fi cam multicel…
Mergi prin magazine sa vezi ca doar prelungitorul cu protectie e pe la 50 RON deci na … din pacate a crescut nenorocitul de dolar..
Well $15 is not cheap but it’s reasonable and it’s a damn nice thing to have. Plus you have the Xiaomi brand which I trust more than other Chinese brands.
