Xiaomi Named One of TIME’s Most Influential Companies of 2024

TIME has named Xiaomi as one of its “TIME100 Most Influential Companies” in 2024. Xiaomi received the honor — for its first time ever — because TIME determined that it is making an extraordinary impact around the world.
In placing Xiaomi on the list, TIME cited on the company’s successful launch of its first smart electric vehicle, the Xiaomi SU7 Series, in Mainland China in March 2024. TIME praised the EV’s effort to integrate people, cars, and homes into a super-smart, people-centric ecosystem. Xiaomi set new industry records for the volume of locked-in orders and deliveries of the Xiaomi SU7 Series during the first month of its debut. Its “Human x Car x Home” ecosystem connects smart devices in unprecedented and seamless ways.
Xiaomi is committed to making sustainable investments in foundational core technologies and to continuously invest in technologies that will benefit humanity. It will invest more than RMB100 billion in research and development during the five years between 2022 to 2026. Through 15 to 20 years of effort, Xiaomi aims to become one of the top five global automakers as well as a leader in the evolving realm of global cutting-edge technologies.
“Xiaomi is honored to be selected for the TIME100 Most Influential Companies list for 2024,” said Xiaomi spokesperson. “We look forward to living up to this award by continuing to produce products that let everyone in the world enjoy a better life through innovative technology.”
To assemble the list, TIME solicited nominations across sectors, and polled its global network of contributors and correspondents, as well as outside experts. Then TIME editors evaluated each on key factors, including impact, innovation, ambition, and success. The result is a diverse group of 100 businesses helping chart an essential path forward.

Tech Review – Xiaomi Mi Vacuum Cleaner Mini (EU)

Portable Vacuum devices are kinda popular these days and we have reviewed some here before on the site and they do a good job and can be used at home or in the car, this model here can be used for both and most geared towards your car in my opinion and it will not be as strong as a convention hoover you would have in your house.

That being said it has enough power to clean up a mess really quickly in a hurry and get the most of it up and is ideal for removing dust from shelves and so on, even more it is great for cleaning you keys on your computer which is where I spend much of my time and it can get grubby with crumbs and other bits of food which is a habit I need to drop but now this little guy is here to save the days o that habit may not change after all..

This is a simple to use and clean product and very portable and is charged with USB-C which is good to see and you get two parts inside the box to get to work straight away, the top simply flips open and you can empty the tray and the job is done without getting your hands dirty, the filter comes in two parts and can also be removed and washed so you can use it again and again though over time it might be an idea to change the inner filter as the outer one prevents big particles getting in and the inside on stops the particles, it is a clever set-up.

You will get about 30 mins use out of it (10 continuous) which is not bad considering its size and it can be stored anywhere, even in your car glove box and can be charged via your own charger inside your car via the cable provided. So for me it is handy to have it and will most likely stay in one of my vehicles here not worried about having to move it into the home either for doing the more delicate dusting jobs.

It is not as quite like most hoovers are and it’s not the loudest either from what I have tested before and in fact quieter than the previous ones reviewed. Overall it is a handy little gadget to have at your disposal and looks great to as when people first seen it here they could not figure out what it was until I revealed the details on the bottom of the box..

  • Vacuum Cleaner 30W
  • Tank capacity: 100 ml
  • Battery: 2000 mAh

Xiaomi also reveals new scooters and the Xiaomi Pad 6 and again we had some hands on with these at the event and cast your mind back to the first e-scooter the brand launched which flew off the shelves and i have had one myself.

Xiaomi Electric Scooter 4 and 4 Lite: Ride in comfort

Xiaomi Electric Scooter 4 line-up expands with two new models, Xiaomi Electric Scooter 4 and 4 Lite, respectively equipped with a 600W and 300W motor capable of reaching a maximum speed of 20km/h2 . With a capacity of 7,650mAh, Xiaomi Electric Scooter 4 is able to cover distances of up to 35 km on a single charge, easily overcoming gradients of up to 16%. The capacity of 4 Lite version, on the other hand, is 5,200mAh, providing a range of 20km.

The drum brake on the rear wheel of Xiaomi Electric Scooter 4 Lite, together with the E-ABS system on the front wheel, reduce the braking distance, thus ensuring greater safety. Xiaomi Electric Scooter 4, on the other hand, features an improved dual-action disc brake on the rear wheel for optimised control efficiency; together with the E-ABS system on the front wheel, the braking distance will be much shorter.

Both products can be connected to the Xiaomi Home app via Bluetooth to check speed and charge in real time, update firmware and monitor driving data.

Xiaomi Pad 6: Built for work, designed for ease

Xiaomi Pad 6 features a thinner and lighter unibody design compared to the previous version and an elegant metal finish. The device is powered by Snapdragon 870 Mobile Platform and is equipped with an 11″ LTPS LCD screen with WQHD+ resolution, up to 144Hz refresh rate, 309 ppi, Dolby Vision® and HDR10 support.

Xiaomi Pad 6 features a 13MP main camera and an 8MP front camera, and is equipped with quad speakers for immersive stereo sound thanks to Dolby Atmos, which guarantees the best experience. The battery has a capacity of 8,840mAh (typ), providing up to 16 hours of video playback, and supports 33W fast charging. Furthermore, thanks to the USB 3.2 Gen 1 supporting speeds of up to 5Gbps and 4K video output at 60fps with DP interface, transferring files to your laptop will be even easier and faster.

Thanks to MIUI Pad 14, the software of the device is optimised to offer the best connectivity and new ‘conference tools’5 such as noise cancellation or the ability to keep faces centred during video conferences by following their movements thanks to the FocusFrame function. Xiaomi Pad 6 is therefore a very versatile device and thanks to the Xiaomi Smart Pen (2nd generation) and Xiaomi Pad 6 Keyboard, the experience can be even smarter! Comfortable then for working, watching videos or movies on the go, but also taking notes in university or drawing outdoors.

The Xiaomi Pad 6 will be available on the European market in three colour variants – Champagne, Gravity Gray and Mist Blue. Prices and availability will be unveiled when sales start as of now the device is not scheduled to release in Ireland

First Look – Xiaomi Redmi 10 from Tesco Mobile

Today we take a first in depth look at one of tesco mobile latest handsets on offer and it is the Xiaomi Redmi 10 which is also a first for me to see, in the hand this handset feels nice and is solid and it is not an expensive device by any means and loaded with a decent spec sheet too, it has got a decent rear camera system on the back with a not so large hump like other brands insist of having there now and moving them around. We have got a 50/8/2 and 2 MP array of cameras on the rear and a front facing camera at 8MP. We also have a large 6.5 inch display and the speakers are decently loud too.

If that is not enough for the camera fans this has also got a 5000mAh battery to power it which is ample enough in today’s standards and also we have got 128GB storage which can be bumped up to 512GB with an SD card. We also have a headphone jack which is not seen much these days, also this has a fingerprint sensor on the side and comes with a charger in the box and a case so you are protected straight away which all in all seems like a decent package..

Battery charging

The battery charging typical 14 days but as suggested when major features were turned on and the default light was turned to max time, the usage time was reduced to about 9 days in line with the manufactures data during this review.

The biggest niggle of this tracker is the proprietary magnetic charger. This is required while supplied this unique charger has to be fitted to the tracker to charge. This additional charger in techbuzz view (as with all smartwatches/trackers) should be replaced with a standardised approach of a wireless charger option or UBC C charger cable for android users.

App:  Mi Fitness (Xiaomi Wear)

The setup of the app was easy with a QR code on the tracker allowing for easy finding and downloading. The App has over 10 million downloads with a 3.9-star rating from over 261 thousand reviews.  On the rating, I possible would rate the app a little bit higher, as from the setup to the use, this was fast, fluent in transactions, and worked as required. The developers have their act together with experience gained in the range on their previous products, The only slight niggle on occasions I had to manually sync to the android phone on few occasions when the phone was separated out of Bluetooth range of the phone. This would have auto-sync over time but on occasion when I want instant updates.

The app allows for tracking workouts and monitoring your fitness. Not limited to tracking your progress. Track your walks, runs, and bike rides right from your phone. Check your heart rate, blood oxygen, stress, and energy level.

Overall:

The Tracker is solid, and has over 110+ fitness modes, with a battery life quoted as 14 days which exceeds most other trackers. (Albeit reduced to about 9 days with most of the features enables) The tracker can be used in most water sports which is less than 50 meters (5ATM). The design of the strap allows for the tracker to be used on all hand sizes and

With the option to replace this with a variety of colours e.g., elegant Ivory, lively Orange, tranquil Olive, stretched Blue, sakura Pink or mystery, Black. The Mi Fitness (Xiaomi Wear) App works as expected leisurely, the screen is logical with the options to enable, or disable features.  The key features are visible on the watch or via the app.

The Motion Sensor 3-axis accelerometer, during my comparisons with 2 other well know branded devices provide similar results in terms of step counts.  The 110 fitness modes should suffice for most amateur or semi-pro athletes or just trying to encourage their fitness. There are various reminders to get up and move or set targets for workouts.  This is a solid kit with a great history of making trackers that work well, have numerous features, and won’t break the bank.

Note:

Whether using the most basic tracker or the most expensive, “willpower” is required to achieve results whereas the tracker allows the ability to set goals, monitor these and flag potential health issues in real-time.
