Xiaomi upped their game once again with their flagships. Now they need to bring it outside of China and India if they want to make a bigger splash in the west. Let’s hope Hugo is still working on that.

There is also a case sold separately, working almost exactly like the HTC M8 Dot View case.

On top of Mi5s, Xiaomi also announced today their new Mi TV 3S 65″ (again, only in China for now). Xiaomi worked on a massive partnership with all major video streaming companies in China. The TV also features AI built into the TV that has computer vision, evolving speech recognition and deep learning. We are however yet to test this in China and see how it really behaves in day-to-day use.

Price of the Mi TV 3S in China will be 4999/5999 RMB ($750/$900) for the TV or TV+Home Theater combo respectively. There is also a smaller 55″ version for 3,499 RMB. Specs/details below:

Oh, and a wireless microphone $90 for all your KTV needs.
