Chinese technology giant Xiaomi has taken the wraps off its latest offering, the Xiaomi Smart Display 8 Pro, in its home market. Serving as the successor to both the Smart Display 10, launched in April last year and the Smart Display 6 from July of the same year, this new smart display is set to elevate the smart home experience.
Introducing the Xiaomi Smart Display 8 Pro
Boasting an array of impressive features, the Xiaomi Smart Display 8 Pro centers around an 8-inch LCD screen. Designed to integrate seamlessly with the central gateway, this smart home device is powered by the MIUI Home OS. Its versatility is a key selling point, enabling users to efficiently manage other smart home devices, control their environment, and even indulge in music and video streaming.
A Battery That Lasts
One of the standout features of the Xiaomi Smart Display 8 Pro is its substantial built-in 7500mAh battery. This means that users can enjoy extended usage without constantly worrying about battery depletion. This is a significant enhancement, ensuring that the device remains functional and accessible for an extended duration.
Expectations for the Xiaomi Smart Display 8 Pro
While Xiaomi has yet to fully disclose all the hardware specifications of the device, it is expected that the Smart Display 8 Pro will offer similar functionalities to its predecessors. This includes capabilities such as cross-device video calls, seamless integration with mobile phones, TVs, and home screens, as well as the ability to remotely monitor the home environment. With the incorporation of infrared remote control, over 3,000 smart devices can be effortlessly managed and even traditional appliances can be transformed into smart gadgets.
Upcoming Pre-Sale and Pricing
The Xiaomi Smart Display 8 Pro is set to hit pre-sale on August 8. While the official price has yet to be officially announced, industry insiders anticipate that it will fall somewhere between the cost of its sibling devices. This places it within a range likely to be above the 349 yuan ($48) price tag of the Xiaomi Smart Display 6 but potentially below the 999 yuan ($139) cost of the Smart Display 10. The Smart Display 8 Pro’s “Pro” designation hints at more sophisticated and advanced features, making it an intriguing addition to Xiaomi’s growing portfolio of smart devices.
