Last evening
Xiaomi CEO,
Lei Jun jumped the gun a little and announced that Xiaomi will be holding its annual
event on 5th September.
We were quite surprised to see that the
CEO of Xiaomi had decided to announce the
event earlier than anticipated, but the message came from his personal Weibo account and included details and the above
image.
One major change to the annual event is the venue. Previous Xiaomi launches were held in Beijing’s 798 arts district, but this year it will be held at the much larger National Conference Center.
On to that above
image. Well there are two ‘heavenly swords’ shown which would suggest 2 new products. One of which is surely the Xiaomi
Mi3 smartphone while the other could be the Xiaomi TV although Xiaomi’s operations manager
Zhongyu Fei says that the announcement will be a ‘big surprise’ one which few could have guessed! Could this mean the Xiaomi
tablet or even the Xiaomi laptop could make an arrival? Only time will tell!
