A screen of almost 4 inches in diagonal, color, touch and with support for Google Assistant and Chromecast. These could be the main features of Xiaomi‘s new smart alarm clock launched in Spain. And yes, there may be similar options, but this Xiaomi Mi Smart Clock could be the ideal alarm clock for your bedside table.
Xiaomi Mi Smart Clock
Xiaomi has decided to bring to the Spanish market a new device that could quickly become one of the best sellers. At least within that category designed to offer products for the smart home. We are talking about the new Mi Smart Clock, a smart alarm clock with interesting features both in terms of design and functionality.
The Mi Smart Clock is a product that physically pleases, because it has a very Xiaomi design with that minimalist touch and showing off finishes at the level expected from the Chinese manufacturer. That is, it offers a minimum of quality, but that does not cause the final price of the product to skyrocket.
With all this, what we have is an alarm clock with a screen that looks similar to proposals such as the 5-inch Amazon Echo Show. What’s more, in dimensions it is very similar because with 113 x 68 x 81.5 cm it is almost identical, a little more compact when integrating a 3.97-inch screen .
Of course, for a few millimeters more or less you will not have any problem using it as an alarm clock on the table that we have next to the bed. Even less when you know everything it offers in terms of connectivity and functionality.
For starters, the screen also offers touch support. This allows you to interact with your options in a much more comfortable way than using a keypad or any other control method. Except for the voice, which is also interesting and allows thanks to the integration with Google Assistant.
In addition, having a screen and support for the Google assistant also allows you to integrate support for Chromecast . In this way you can send content directly from your mobile device or any other device compatible with this standard.
Of course, the most interesting thing is that being a smart alarm clock, it offers functions such as an alarm mode that mimics the dawn . That is, they gradually turn on the screen and vary both the color temperature and the intensity to simulate that feeling of more and more light entering the window.
If you have not yet tried to wake up that way, do it. Because even with smart bulbs it can be done and it’s a very natural way to do it. The same even costs you less work than with the classic alarm beep that can get desperate.
A Nest Mini with a screen
As you can see, the Mi Smart Clock could be said to be like a Nest Mini or Google Home Mini with a screen. A device that is ideal for the bedroom, although you could also place it on the office table where you work, the official one or any other place where you have a clock and these extra options could be useful in your day to day. For example, see what your Xiaomi security camera captures or control other IoT devices in the home.
And now, the best of all is that the price is not exorbitant at all: 49.99 euros seems to be a more than correct import for a product of this type. So it is likely that many will decide to bet on it. Especially if they are fans of Google Assistant and have already integrated it into their day to day as many have done with Alexa or Siri.
