Here’s how Xiaomi is integrating artificial intelligence into its products in collaboration with Google.

At the end of September there was Xiaomi presentation in Berlin where a variety of products were announced, all of which can be purchased in Spain. The main heroes were the Xiaomi 14T series, although many eyes were attracted by the new 85- and 100-inch TVs, as well as the new price of the Xiaomi Watch 2.

It was a launch event where Xiaomi showcased its strategy of moving away from exclusively producing mobile devices and focusing on one of its main strengths: the ecosystem. The ability to share products as diverse as TVs, vacuum cleaners, phones or watches is what sets this company apart the most from the rest of its competitors.

But this does not mean that Xiaomi is not also betting on technology that is now fashionable – artificial intelligence. In fact, their new phones will include technologies like Circle To Search, which we’ve already seen in mobile brands like Google Pixel and Samsung Galaxy, and which are now available in this high-end Xiaomi family.

Xiaomi and Google

In fact, the integration of this form of on-screen search is not the only innovation from the company, which invited one of Google’s AI directors to the stage, Zahid Saboor, Head of Gemini Mobileto explain how Gemini will be integrated into Xiaomi phones. In fact, by default it is a virtual assistant that will be included in the Xiaomi 14T and 14T Pro.

The manager explained that For now, Xiaomi terminals will use Gemini versions that use the cloud.but they are working to keep the power consumption of these versions as low as possible. Consumption is one of the drawbacks that is most criticized by these new AI platforms.

More, Xiaomi and Google are working on integrating Gemini Nano into the future development of the brandbut they were unable to confirm when it would be available. In addition, in response to a question from EL ESPAÑOL – El Androide Libre, they also confirmed that “Xiaomi and Google are collaborating for greater integration of Gemini with Xiaomi’s IoT ecosystem,” according to Daniel Desjarlais, Director of Public Relations and Xiaomi Representative. Of course, when asked whether the Gemini will also be in the brand’s future electric vehicles, the manager responded with a laugh that first “we have to see the car in international markets, and we are not in that situation yet.”

One of the new features unveiled could even change the way we interact with mobile phones, giving voice much more importance. Zahid Saboor confirmed this the appearance of Gemini Live on Xiaomi phones, although he was unable to indicate the languages ​​it would be available in at launch. However, the fact that Google is opening up this version of its assistant to more brands suggests that the company intends to make it mainstream adoption, thereby managing to counteract OpenAI’s commitments.

When asked in an interview Why is Google launching AI products that are clearly not finished? Zahid Saboor responded that they “really appreciate user feedback and that Gemini has improved significantly in just a few months.” The reality is that he is right because the assistant was born with many shortcomings, such as the ability to manage the assistant’s routine, but little by little he found a place for himself in people’s daily lives and improved very quickly.

Xiaomi has its own AI

Except, The company has created large language models in this new family of devices. which it uses in new features such as automatic translation and AI note creation and editing.

These features are also available on the 14T series, but in the interview they are also Daniel Desjarlais was asked if they will appear on other models, including Redmi.more economical but with higher average power than its mid-range competitors. The manager responded that it would be looked into “on a case-by-case basis according to each model and family”, given that the processors used and their features greatly influence this type of functionality.
