We reported last week about an upcoming Xiaomi product, something Xiaomi haven’t done before — a vacuum cleaner robot. While these devices are quite the ‘in’ thing this season, it was quite surprising to see Xiaomi jump the gun.
Anyway, the Mi Robot is now more than just rumour. A video of the house-cleaning bot was found to have been posted (in China). The video shows the Mi Robot’s capabilities, specifically, capabilities compared to those of a competitor — the iRobot 800.
Gizchina News of the week
Both vacuum cleaners are made to do the cleaning in an identical room, and (guess what) the Mi Robot comes on top. The bot covers a larger area than the iRobot 800, and does so in lesser time.
Xiaomi are expected to shake up the robot vacuum cleaning market a little with their launch. We reviewed one in the past, and these do seem like gadgets that will be around for a bit — perhaps more so than no-name $99 ‘hoverboards’.
Will it sport a Snapdragon 821 or a Mediatek helio X25? 13mp rear dual cameras or a single 21mp? And the most important thing: how far will it score on Antutu?
And what about band 20?
You’re so funny dear…

I believe that this Vacuum-Robot needs an app to set some details up. (Most of the high-end / new robots have bluetooth and support apps).
And as far as I know Xiaomi – they won’t release the app in English. That’s for me a clear no-go. Was the same with Xiaomi Mi Drone…. the app was only in chinese.
