The Xiaomi Bluetooth Speaker Magnetic Edition is a compact wireless speaker that magnetically attaches to the back of a smartphone while doubling as an integrated kickstand. A built-in Hall sensor automatically powers the device on when attached and turns it off when removed, streamlining the connection process. The accessory features a 1.5-inch full-range 3W driver with a 200Hz to 20kHz frequency response, Bluetooth 6.0 connectivity, AAC and SBC codec support, and a 650mAh battery for standalone operation.
The magnetic design positions a smartphone at an upright viewing angle for hands-free media playback while improving audio beyond built-in phone speakers. RGB lighting around the base synchronizes with audio playback, adding a visual element during use. Available in two color options, including dark gray, the speaker launches on Xiaomi Youpin at an introductory price of 132 yuan before increasing to a suggested retail price of 199 yuan.
