Xiaomi is well-known around the world for its budget smartphones, but the Chinese giant has spread its reach into the entertainment segment with TVs and soundbars, and in the IoT segment with smart bulbs, routers and security cameras among other things. However, Xiaomi’s isn’t restricted to just these products, as it runs a crowdsourcing platform in China that churns out some pretty interesting and handy gadgets and accessories. Well, we recently went to Xiaomi’s flagship Mi Store in Shenzhen, China, and we came across some really cool gadgets. So, here are 10 cool Xiaomi gadgets you probably didn’t know about:
10 Xiaomi Gadgets You Should Check Out
Note: Most of the gadgets in this list are not manufactured by Xiaomi, but instead have been crowdfunded on the company’s Youpin platform in China.
1. Xiaomi Auto-Sense IR Induction Water Saving Device
Apart from increasing its budget smartphone market share, well, it seems Xiaomi cares about water conservation and auto-sense IR induction water saving device is surely the best example of the same. This device that you see below attaches to your tap using connectors that come in the packaging to convert your standard tap into an auto-sense one, similar to those you might have seen at airports or malls.
Once you’ve installed the device, you simply need to bring your hand under the faucet to see the water start running. But it will only release water enough to wash hands and then stop. As for when you wave your hand over the sensor on the side, there’s a continuous water supply for 3 minutes, so water isn’t wasted if you forget to turn off the tap. Pretty awesome, ain’t it?

2. Yeelight Wireless Charger with LED Night Light
Yeelight makes some of the best smart products and well, this wireless charger and LED night lamp combo is no exception. We’ve got it at the Beebom office for quite some time now and it was the minimal aesthetic of the device that attracted us to pick it up. Just look at that sweet caramel pudding-shaped light and the sleek wireless charging pad next to it:
The night light offers two color tones – one white and other a warmer light, which can be easily switched between at the touch of a button. However, the highlight here is the fast wireless charging pad attached to it that supports up to 18W charging. Well, we found it to be working great with the Galaxy S10, iPhone XS Max, and other devices, so yeah, it’s a cool wireless charger to have.

The 400ml capacity of the glass bottle is enough to make a single serving and you could then drink straight from it. The internal 700mAh battery, which can be juiced up (no pun intended) using a 17-pin magnetic charger, helps make 5-odd shakes/ juices on a single charge.

Another gadget that will certainly be of great use for people on the move is this Xiaomi dual-mode Bluetooth keyboard and we love it.

It’s compatible with Mac, Windows, iOS, and Android, which is a great
This keyboard looks quite attractive, with a complete set (104 keys) of circular keys that clearly add to the appeal and give it a premium look.

6. Xiaomi VH Wireless Charging Cup
This is one of those crazy yet exciting products that I recently came across and well, the name is enough to pique your curiosity.

You get a ceramic cup along with the wireless charging pad in this kit, which can either be used to heat up water, milk or even soup on a cold winter night without having to step out from the comfort of your bed. It operates at 24W in insulation mode, heating the cup but smartphones are charged at up to 10W, so you won’t find them exploding.

We Indians are no stranger to mosquitos and use electrified badminton rackets to swat them down, however, Xiaomi’s crowdfunding partner Sothing has come up with a more convenient way to kill mosquitos. Sothing Cactus mosquito killer light uses UV light to attract mosquitos close to itself and the rotating fan on here pulls them inside, storing them within a container that can later be emptied. Convenient, ain’t it?

We have all used vacuums at home to clean out carpets or furniture, but have you ever used a vacuum cleaner to make your desk clean and shiny? Well, Xiaomi’s crowdfunding partner NuSign thinks it’s a niche which users may be interested in and is selling a mini desktop vacuum cleaner. It weighs just 130 grams and occupies space less than an SSD resting on your desk.
NuSign desktop vacuum cleaner uses a strong suction with a 360-degree ascending wind that pulls in air from the bottom along with dirt. There are also nylon brush heads at the bottom of the vacuum cleaner to get rid of liquid stains, which sure is great for such a tiny product. All the dust and particulate matter is collected inside the vacuum cleaner and needs to be cleared from time to time.
