Xiaomi touch screen smart speaker - Xiao Ai Touch - Full Review [Xiaomify]

Xiaomi has released yet another smart speaker but this one actually comes with a 3.9" display. Is it cool? Is this the Xiao Ai 2.0? Let's find out!

It was about time Xiaomi made a model with a screen like this and it finally happened. The screen is rather small, being slightly smaller than 4", but it is very bright and for such a low resolution (800x480 px) it is actually very sharp. The audio quality is acceptable although it's not as good as the original Xiao-Ai speaker.

So what can you do with it?
Besides watching content on Iqiyi and listening to music on QQ music, you can control all of your installed and supported Xiaomi Smart home products from the touch screen. One of the cool features is that you can see a live view of the smart security cameras on it, but also get a live feed when someone is in front of the door when you happen to have the Smart Doorbell.

But the coolest stuff is to voice-control everything. This is really its strong suit, but also its weakness. It's really cool to ask for a live feed of your cameras instead of tapping through the menu. Or to simply ask it to turn lights on, or to control the fan or air conditioner.

There's a tonne of other features and it's got A LOT of built-in "APPS" allowing you to ask for the weather, traffic, news, read books, podcasts, play tv-shows, do calculations, conversions, ask for stock, take notes, and tonnes of other features.

But still, the main downside of this Xiao Ai speaker is that it only supports Chinese and no other languages have been added over the last year since we have seen their original Xiao Ai speaker. It would have been really cool to see it support other languages or optionally have the option to select another AI-brain like Microsoft Cortana or Google Home.

If you are a really big Mi-Fan you might still want to get your hands on it, hoping that someday it will learn new languages. But you will be a bit limited when using it; although for monitoring your security cameras and for using it as a screen for that smart doorbell is really cool. You can also use it as an (admittedly very cool looking) alarm clock and use the touch screen interface to interact with your Xiaomi Smart Home products, but it will be quite limiting to not interact with it by voice.

So, overall, I got to say that it's a very well built and very well equipped smart home speaker, and the addition of a screen makes this integrate into Xiaomi's Mijia smart home ecosystem even more. It's really got a lot of features and it's very capable. But right now it's really oriented towards the Chinese market and there are no announcements of these speakers learning any other language any time soon. -And that's a bit unfortunate.

Xiaomi's global spokesperson has hinted towards an English speaking Ai several times on Twitter, but no official statements have been given about this. Unfortunately, we will just have to keep on hoping for this to happen, someday.

FINALLY, this smart display and speaker is released in international market and it's powered by google assistant.

[JayanandSupali]

i so wish this has support for the English language. Would have bought it instantly.
ThanQ for this review. You are doing a very neat job of making us aware of all the products that Xiaomi has. Otherwise I would never know such a thing exists.

[aizanx]

Immediately, I hope it can support other servers and can customize devices to control. Next I wish it can support Google assistant.

[bazil]

There is a similar product called the Lenovo smart clock. It’s sold in the US and it has Google assistant. right now, it costs $40 to $50

[ninomendoza]

Hope xiaomi will soon implement English version to their products

[debur]

Great video again 👍. I hope also that they will integrate some English on this devices but this depends if they want to release it on the international markets where they have already some hard competitors. Let's hope for the best. Keep up the good work ✌.

[leogava]

Another great video. Congratulations from Brazil!

[mrburnz]

I was waiting for this. I think it's a perfect partner for the doorbell.

The features of the Xiaomi XiaoAI are pretty solid considering the price of it. With the MediaTek processor at its core, the performance of the gadget is extremely smooth and steady without any lag. That makes it worth every penny. Setting up of the gadget is easy and does not require much hassle on the part of the user.

[SargeHarris]

Nice Video! Are you also planning to test the new Roidmi Nex Vaccum Cleaner when it will be released?

[armstrongchan]

The doorbell function alone, I will like to buy this device!

[JHA]

I love how it looks and I’d love one on my desk if it comes out in English. It would be cool if I could set it up to a home security camera to show up when it detects motion.

[FrankGiuliani]

Is there an updated english version yet? EDIT: Why haven't you reviewd the 8 inch version yet xD
it's called Redmi XiaoAi Touch Screen

[rvijay]

Can u make a video how to connect mi smart speaker with video door bell..

[jildine]

Hi sir. This device have a global version now. Can you please tell me what is the difference between chinese version ang global version?

[TheBobicho]

Great video xaomify, as usual... I orderd this product and realize that time adjust issue. Was hoping they did manage to fix this but not. That frustrating me A LOT

[youngday]

Thanks for the review. Wondering if it works with the International version of Xiaomi Smart home zigbee gateway? Or it can only link with xiaomi devices (like CCTV Cameras) that are set to be running on Mainland server?

[xiaomify]

Yes! Another smart speaker from Xiaomi! -Finally, I got to take a look at this one :)
I've got A LOT of other videos in the making, but I've been very swamped with other stuff going on here. Stay tuned for some more REALLY cool products coming up very soon!
Also; what do y'all think of the new (Chinese-only) Xiao Ai Touch screen - smart- speaker? Disappointed or impressed?
I am still hoping for Xiao Ai to take some English classes, but then again, before that happens I might have to take some Chinese classes...

[radziok]

Something like this, but more like tablet with dock station and oled screen for always on display clock would be awesome

[saharitzhak]

5:33 what is that second device from the right please??
