The company’s Twitter channel now has a new cover image with a title ‘Smarter Living’ embossed on a red background featuring at least four products i.e. a fitness band, voice-enabled television, smartphone and a security camera.

Xiaomi Mi Band 3

The upcoming fitness band is expected to be the Mi Band 3, a successor of the Mi Band 2 that was launched in India in 2016. The Mi Band 3 was launched in China earlier this year. Compared to the Mi Band 2, the Mi Band 3 features a bigger capacitive OLED screen with curved edges. The water resistant fitness band also features near field communication (NFC) chip for one touch connectivity. The Mi Band 3 is also capable of receiving app and call notifications and has motion tracking and health management features. The Mi Band 3 is compatible with devices running Android 4.4 and above or iOS 9.0 and above.

Xiaomi Voice-enabled Smart TV

Xiaomi forayed into India’s television market with the launch of Xiaomi Mi TV 4. The upcoming television teaser on Xiaomi’s Twitter page shows a mic icon, suggesting that the upcoming television would have voice input support for easier search and navigation across user interface.

Xiaomi Security Camera

This is going to be a new addition in Xiaomi India portfolio. Though the company already has security camera portfolio in its home country, this would be the first such product that would be launched in India. The security camera is expected to feature a 360-degree lens, mobile connectivity option and internet support for real time monitoring from remote locations.
