Print Bloggers

The company Xiaomi held a presentation in Beijing and showed the expected upgrade in the line of TVs Mi TV, but it’s not very interesting, but the original announcement – giroskuter brand Ninebot. Everything in order.

First, briefly about the new TV, Xiaomi Mi TV 3 . Here everything is clear, the Chinese have their own range of relatively inexpensive TV sets with support for Smart TV, and its development – a matter of time. Another TV has received a diagonal of 60 ”, the resolution of 3840×2160 pixels and matrix production of LG. To use Smart TV using quad-core processor with a frequency of 1.4 GHz (Cortex-A17), a graphics system Mali 760 MP4, 2GB of RAM and 8 GB of internal. There is Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, as well as all necessary interfaces: HDMI, VGA, AV, Analog DTMB, Ethernet, Audio, and three-port USB 2.0.

As I I said, Xiaomi Mi TV 3 – a logical development of the line of branded TVs, even more, even faster and more productive. The problem in this case, one – in Russia to purchase Mi TV officially, as well as other products of the company (except for the plates in “The Messenger”), it is impossible, and the cost of Mi TV 3 with delivery from China would be seriously more applications 5000 yuan, to a great extent from -this tangible weight of the device and its dimensions.

The second product is a more interesting – giroskuter brand Ninebot – Ninebot mini , is strongly reminiscent of the most popular devices on the market, from the company Segway. The logic of the scooter is the same – two-wheel drive platform and balance system on the basis of the gyro sensors. A man stands on the platform and move through the accelerometer, slightly leaning in the right direction. In the initial configuration of the scooter takes about 3 minutes, the system analyzes the movement of each leg, especially the slopes for each person, and so on, and then a beep signals the end of setting. On a single charge the scooter is able to pass up to 22 kilometers, the maximum speed – 16 km / h, is achieved through the electric motor power of 7000 watts.

The body of the scooter is made of magnesium alloy, whereby the weight is slightly less than 13 kilograms, that is, the device is easy to carry in hand. There are two color options – black and white Ninebot mini. In front, between the foot on the housing there is a small display that shows the most important information – battery level, connection status, and so on. The scooter can be connected to your smartphone over Bluetooth, and then to receive the special information program on the distance covered, time in motion, the average speed and other data.

Looks Ninebot mini unusual, but to discuss the appearance of the device in more detail, I think it makes no sense.

Personally, I never in my life did not skate on the original “segveyah” so that when I first tried to get on Ninebot Xiaomi Store in Beijing, the first guys helped me out of the store. First minute think that this is impossible, and even stand to go, but then you start to move slowly in a straight line, then you know how to turn it on, and has been gradually the confidence when driving at low speed. I do not know how this helps the system of setting and adjusting various parameters of the scooter to a specific person, but the feeling is as follows: the first minute is very complex, and only ten minutes later you feel as if riding on a scooter at least a week. That is, the barrier to entry for this type of transport is very low, according to my feelings.

To Incidentally, speaking of clone Segway, describing Ninebot mini, I’m not exaggerating. Several years ago, the Chinese company Ninebot Inc. started production and sale of scooters girostabiliziruyuschih under its own brand, and then filed for Segway Ninebot to court to clear up the basic ideas and design. The Chinese have decided to settle the dispute the most effective way, and in 2013 Ninebot, attract investment from Xiaomi and Sequoia Capitlal, just bought the company Segway to all intellectual property rights to develop. Thus, the presented Xiaomi scooter Ninebot mini, in fact, is the most “segveem.”

What does all this have Xiaomi? The company helps to promote the product, which means that the new Ninebot has traditional features typical of products presented in the online store Xiaomi, – low cost.

The site Xiaomi new Ninebot mini is 2000 yuan, the exchange rate at the end of October is about 20 000 rubles. I will not reproduce here the comparison with the major models of the Segway giroskuterov with control by hand, they are worth hundreds of thousands. But even when compared noy Ninebot mini with other devices of the company or just a different compact giroskuterami then Ninebot mini about a half times cheaper than the cheapest models cost about 30 000 rubles. The question again rests on the possibility of buying this machine and their delivery to Russia.

Not so long ago Xiaomi showed another interesting accessory that really interested me much, primarily because of its price. This case, called Xiaomi Suitcase 90 minutes . In size it is small suitcase format «cabin size» with a volume of about 36 liters, instead of allowing things for a short trip for 2 or 3 days. Like many other bags, this is made from durable polycarbonate, of course, is not so tech stuff like Samsonite, but not made of cloth covering. One of the advantages – high comfortable handle and large wheels, which is very important. It often happens that you need to roll the suitcase on the carpet (in some airports it occurs), or for any pavement and if the suitcase wheels of small diameter – this is a problem. Inside, several offices, compartments for small things, clothes and so on.

But the most important – is the cost. For example, a suitcase Samsonite Suitcase 90 is similar to the size and scope is now an average of 300 euros, in Russia – about 20 000-25 000. Much more than the budget, but also high-quality version – a suitcase from the Japanese company Muji, will cost about 10 000 rubles. Chinese low-end models of this size – about 60-80 dollars or 5 000-6 000. The cost of the suitcase from Xiaomi – 300 yuan on the official website, which is about 3000 rubles. Feel the difference.

Of course, buy it for the money to be problematic, and it is the only visible flaw Xiaomi. On the other hand, even at a premium for the delivery of the suitcase can be a very reasonable choice if you do not want to buy their own accessory from a completely unknown company, and prefer something even minimally credible.
