Xiaomi is testing the mother of AIs for its cars, mobile phones and home. And there is no trace of Google or OpenAI

by

Xiaomi long ago stopped being simply a mobile brand and became one of the giants of the Chinese technology ecosystem. The company It no longer goes to volume, it goes to aspirationand to achieve this they want a remarkable user experience. A deep integration of artificial intelligence is inevitable to achieve this, and that is where MiClaw comes to life. Mike? Xiaomi has published on its website the details about MiClaw, your next step in exploring AI agents. It begins as a small-scale closed test, but it represents the pillars of what we will see in the near future on the company’s devices. What is. Xiaomi is testing with MiClaw the execution capabilities of its large AI models (MiMo) within the mobile-car-home ecosystem, both at the conversational level and in terms of execution capacity. It is a deep model, one with full access to every single event on the device, and able to reason for itself what action needs to be taken. What are you doing. The agentic AI prepared by Xiaomi follows a four-step model: Perception Association Decision Action In the text itself, Xiaomi gives us some examples of how its agent can make our lives easier. A refrigerator that can automatically check which consumables are missing at home, connect to our calendar and create a reminder that we have to make the purchase. You buy a train ticket, the agent reads the confirmation SMS, consults our calendar, and automatically prepares and schedules the trip. Why is it important. That Xiaomi is redoubling its efforts in AI is no coincidence. The company wants to be a benchmark in the ecosystem and conquer regions like Europe. Leading in artificial intelligence will be key for any of its product pillars: cars, home devices and mobile phones. Xiaomi wants to move away from the current interpretation-execution proposal, to integrate an agent capable of carrying out up to 20 consecutive and independently executed actions. At the moment, MiClaw works under closed beta on devices like the Xiaomi 17 Ultrabut Xiaomi’s idea is to develop an agent capable of working on any of its devices.

Is the newest the best for you? We compare the Xiaomi 17 Ultra against the Xiaomi 15 Ultra to see which is a better buy in 2026

by

There is a lot left to decide what is the best mobile phone of 2026but the new Xiaomi 17 Ultra He has all the ballots to be one of the candidates. The new top of the range from the Chinese manufacturer comes with changes compared to the previous Xiaomi 15 Ultra (the 16 does not exist, remember) and even with a launch offer. But, Is it worth paying more for the new model? We are going to analyze what the main differences between the two are to be able to decide more easily. Differences between the Xiaomi 17 Ultra and Xiaomi 15 Ultra The screen makes you fat, the body loses weight Xiaomi, as Samsung has also done with their new Galaxy S26remains the same design, although refined. Xiaomi’s new mobile phone is its lightest and thinnest Ultra to datesomething quite impressive if we take into account the size of its battery (we will talk about that a little later). There is a fairly important difference between the two: 9.4 millimeters thick and 226 grams of the 15 Ultra compared to 8.29 millimeters and 218 grams of its successor. That means that we are going to have orLess sensation of “huge” in handsomething that is appreciated if we take into account that it is a mobile that measures 16 centimeters high. And the screen? In this case, it happens just the opposite: the Xiaomi 17 Ultra comes with a slightly larger 6.9-inch screen (compared to 6.73 for the 15 Ultra). This is how it is equal in inches compared to the Galaxy S26 Ultra. Beyond the size, it is also worth noting that the new Xiaomi also increases the maximum brightness level, ideal for those moments when we are on the street and the sun shines directly on the mobile. More performance thanks to its new processor At the hardware level, the expected improvement. Both phones have a Qualcomm processor: on the Xiaomi 15 Ultra’s side, the Snapdragon 8 Elite; of the new model, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. We cannot talk about real figures because we have not tested the new Xiaomi phone, but with the data in hand, yes we can say that it will have better performance. At the end of the day, the new generation of Qualcomm’s processor is one of the best chips out there. As far as memory is concerned, point for Xiaomi: Both phones start with 512 GB of storage and 16 GB of RAM. As an alternative, in both cases we have an additional configuration that increases the capacity up to 1 TB (although in exchange for paying 200 euros more). There is a significant jump in battery size The Xiaomi 15 Ultra arrived in Spain with a 5,410 mAh battery, different from the one the same mobile phone had in China (which was 6,000 mAh). Although it already offers great autonomy, the Xiaomi 17 Ultra wants to catapult it with a 6,000 mAh battery that this time we can enjoy. It is an important battery size, even more so if we take into account that the thickness of the mobile has been reduced. And what about fast charging? There is no change there. Both devices have 90W fast wired charging and 50W wireless charging, so no matter which one you choose, you won’t find any difference in how fast your battery charges. The main difference is in the cameras One of the main strengths of the Xiaomi Ultra is in its cameras. The main camera, as with the 15 Ultra, is once again one inch, has 50 megapixels and is signed by Leica. A priori, there may not be much difference between their performance. Nor in the ultra wide angle, which is 50 megapixels in both cases. We cannot say the same about the telephoto lens. The Xiaomi 15 Ultra came with two different 50-megapixel telephoto lenses. Simply put, the phone’s camera jumps from one to the other depending on the zoom distance we want to use when taking the photo. What happens with the new 17 Ultra? That this uses a single 200 megapixel sensor with variable aperture, so the zoom is continuous and does not hit those “jumps”. Therefore, the result is better. Which one to choose from the two depending on what you are looking for or your needs In which cases is the Xiaomi 17 Ultra worth the most? The new top of the range comes with quite interesting improvements and changes, especially when it comes to battery and cameras. Now, as always, you have to weigh whether it is worth paying the price. The good news is that it comes out with a launch promo, so we now have it with a 250 euro discount. In that sense, this mobile is recommended if: You are looking to have a top of the range Xiaomi with the greatest possible autonomy. You want to have a more manageable mobile phone with a larger screen. You really like taking photos and you think you are going to put the improved telephoto lens to good use. In which cases is the Xiaomi 15 Ultra worth the most? In 2026, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra is still a very good phone. The problem here is that perhaps it is difficult to find it at a good price: the cheapest we have found has been at 1,179 eurosjust 70 euros less than what the Xiaomi 17 Ultra costs. At that price it is difficult to put it above, but things change if we look for it reconditioned or if we find it around 200 or 300 euros less. With a price like this, it would be recommended in case: Looking for a top photography experience without spending so much. You like big phones and you don’t mind that extra weight. You want a top-of-the-range Xiaomi mobile and you don’t mind looking at the previous generation. And what happens with the base models? This price difference that we talked about a few … Read more

The bargain Xiaomi has died. Its new era goes through luxury, sports cars and competing in premium

by

Xiaomi came into this world promising that the price was a conspiracy. That the absurd margins of Samsung and Apple were arbitrary, that a decent cell phone could cost two hundred bucks and that Democratizing was, in itself, a form of gainr. It worked and grew. It became the third smartphone brand in the world with a 14% global share, not so far from Samsung and Apple. And now, at the MWC in Barcelona, ​​he has set up a stand where there is no trace of that initial promise. There is a Xiaomi 17 Ultra for 1,500 euros with the Leica seal. There is a SU7 Ultra that breaks records at the Nürburgring. and there is a concepts of hypercar electric car called Vision Gran Turismo designed to appear in the PlayStation video game alongside Ferrari, Porsche and Mercedes. The Xiaomi of the bargain has not died of success. He died, in part, out of necessity. The numbers tell the story that the statements do not usually explain: The average selling price of their smartphones fell almost three percent in 2025weighed down by the weight of Redmi in international markets. In China, its natural market, closed the year in fourth positionlosing ground to Apple and a Huawei that has returned with force. With an R&D budget that exceeds four billion dollars annually and the pressure to sustain that spending, selling more cheap mobile phones is no longer a viable strategy… …so the move to premium is an Excel thing. The photography with Leica and the SU7 Ultra we already knew them. What’s new in Barcelona is the Vision Gran Turismo, and it is true that it deserves some attention. Xiaomi is the first Chinese manufacturer to join Polyphony Digital’s Vision GT program, a club that for three decades has been the exclusive territory of large European and Japanese houses. The concept itself (a hypercar electric, 900 volt platform, power that could be around 1,900 horsepower…) will never reach production. Xiaomi knows that and we all know it. But that’s not the question. The question is why a company that sells mobile phones, appliances and electric cars dedicates resources to designing a video game car and also creates its physical version. The answer is that The Vision GT is not a product but a positioning statement executed in the only territory where Xiaomi still has no history to defend or expectations to manage: the one of pure fantasy. A place where a brand that Four years ago it didn’t even have a car division. can sit without raising an eyebrow at the same table as Porsche. Some photos of stand from Xiaomi at the MWC explain well where the shots are going: What is not seen because it is covered by people surrounding it is the Vision GT, Xiaomi’s biggest eye-catcher at this MWC. Image: Xataka. What you see when you enter the security area thanks to a convenient press pass. Image: Xataka. The queue to get on the SU7 Ultra is already a classic. Image: Xataka. Cell phones continue to attract glances… but they are not even close to the ones that their cars awaken. Or his car and his concept car. Image: Xataka. The move is very reminiscent of Hyundai when it launched Lexus, although with one difference: Hyundai had the discipline to separate the brands. Xiaomi is trying to ensure that the same logo that for years crowned 150 euro phones now supports an ecosystem that ranges from hypercar to the ultra-premium mobile passing through the connected home. This identity clash remains unresolved. And at the MWC stand it looks great: the main protagonists are Leica, the SU7 Ultra and the Vision GT. Redmi and POCO surely have a big place in the hearts of the staff of the brand, but they do not appear on any display, they are something that the Xiaomi of 2026 does not want to boast about. The bet is serious because the premium margins are much better. The vertical integration that Lei Jun pursues with its own chip, its own operating system, its own AI model, etc., It only makes economic sense if the devices that incorporate them sell at a high price.and the total ecosystem that Xiaomi is buildingfrom the pocket to the living room and from the living room to the garage, generates a blocking effect that the low price segment will never be able to offer. The risk is also serious: luxury always works by accumulation of credibility, a unilateral declaration is not enough, and Xiaomi still carries the shadow of having been for a long time the brand you chose when you couldn’t afford anything else. Or when you could, but you preferred not to, and you clung to that comforting feeling of getting something as good as your neighbor while paying half as much. Convincing that neighbor that you are now worth three times as much is one of the biggest marketing challenges in the tech industry right now.

Leica is teaching Xiaomi everything it knows. When the student no longer needs the teacher, the agreement will have fulfilled its function

by

This week there have been two presentations of flagships which, seen together, say something interesting about where each manufacturer believes the industry is going: Samsung introduced the Galaxy S26 Ultra like an AI exhibition: three integrated assistants, the mobile phone as an external brain that anticipates what you are going to need before you ask for it. A few days later, Xiaomi presented the 17Ultra. And his big argument was not AI. It was the camera. And inside the camera, above all, it was Leica. It is advisable to take this collaboration seriously before reducing it to a marketing seal, because it is not. We had the opportunity to check it out in a session with TJ Waltonglobal product manager at Xiaomi, and Pablo Acevedoat the head of Leica’s mobile division. A round with around twenty journalists from Japan, Germany, France, China and other markets, in which Xataka It was the only Spanish medium. Left, TJ Walton. Right, Pablo Acevedo. Image: Xataka. I opened the question session with a very direct question: what does this co-creation model mean in reality, and at what point in the process does Leica come in? Acevedo’s response was also direct: “We are involved from the beginning, from the conception of the device, when we define the concept of what it should be.”. It is therefore not a certificate that is awarded at the end. It is shared engineering from the beginning: color tuning, contrast, physical adjustment of the lenses, testing of the final product… Walton summed it up: “Everything from the beginning to the end of the imaging experience on our smartphones is powered by Leica.” And still There is something in the details of the agreement that deserves attention, because Leica does not give the same thing to everyone. He Leitz Phonethe device that Leica markets as its own with Xiaomi hardware, includes ‘content credentials’, a certification of image authenticity that the Xiaomi 17 Ultra does not incorporate. When a Japanese journalist asked about this asymmetry, Acevedo was clear: “Authenticity is one of the important points for us. There are specific experiences aimed at professional photographers, those who really care about the smallest details of the photographic experience.” Said without euphemisms: Leica gives a lot to Xiaomi, but keeps for itself what it considers most defining of its identity. This ‘co-creation’ has limits. And those boundaries map out quite precisely where the partner ends and the customer begins. The presentation of the Xiaomi 17 in Barcelona just before the MWC. Image: Xataka. There was another moment in that same session that was like someone turned on the lights. When another journalist asked how the revenue from Leitz Phone is divided financially between the two companies, the response was: “I’m not sure if we can talk about that.” That is to say, The part of the agreement that would most reveal the true nature of the relationship is exactly the part that remains opaque.. Which is, in itself, an answer. Collaborations between equals do not usually have silence clauses on how the money is divided. OnePlus went with Hasselblad. I live with Zeiss. All different, all with the same underlying logic: a European name with decades of photographic history placed where the buyer sees it as soon as they take a Chinese phone out of the box. What they are buying is not only technology but the right to be given the benefit of the doubt in a segment where distrust of Chinese brands continues to be a real factoralthough decreasing. Each generation of product with Leica normalizes Xiaomi’s photographic excellence a little more. There will come a time when this standardization is complete, when the European buyer will not need anyone from the West to certify what he already knows. That day Xiaomi will not need to renew the agreement. And Leica will discover that she gave up part of her aura to someone who no longer needs it.while what Xiaomi gave in return (technology, scale, relevance in the smartphone market…) will have remained integrated into its products forever. And there is something there that is worth remembering. Leica has built its value on a very specific idea: scarcity. 8,000 euro cameras, limited production, a community of insiders who pay precisely because not everyone can… That’s the business. And now andHE same name appears on a device that sells tens of millions of units a year. Every Xiaomi 17 Ultra that comes out of a box does not destroy that aura, but it dilutes it a little. But there is something deeper than trade asymmetry. What happens, agreement by agreement, generation by generation, is a silent transfer of the center of gravity of technological prestige: For decades, European and American brands were the ones that certified the excellence of others. Now they are the ones who need someone to call them. Leica is not a victim in this process: it has made its decisions with its eyes open and has probably calculated its short and medium-term benefits well. But the long term has its own logic, and that logic says that when a historic brand becomes the endorsement that others need to grow, something in the balance of power has already changed. Although it is not yet noticeable in the price of their cameras.

This is how it compares to its rivals in price from POCO, Xiaomi and Samsung

by

Yesterday, Google presented its new economical mobile phone, the Google Pixel 10a and whose greatest bet is photography. Available from 549 euroshas several competitors in the market who will try to tread on an almost guaranteed ground of success (seeing the popularity that Google mobile phones have been acquiring for a few years). Among them are the Xiaomi 15The Poco F8 Pro and the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE. If you have questions about which of these mid-range mobiles but with top features is better for you, we are going to compare them in some of their functionalities, so that you can make the right decision. The price could vary. We earn commission from these links Pixel 10a vs Xiaomi 15T, Poco F8 Pro and Samsung Galaxy S25 FE, at a glance Google pixel 10a xiaomi 15t Poco f8 pro samsung galaxy s25 fe screen 6.3″ OLED 120 Hz, 2700 nits 6.83″ AMOLED 3200 nits 6.59″ AMOLED 3500 nits 6.7″ Dynamic AMOLED 1900 nits processor Google Tensor G4 MediaTek Dimensity 8400 Ultra Snapdragon 8 Elite Samsung Exynos 2400 photographic system Dual main 48 MP + ultra Triple with 2x TV Triple with strong main sensor Triple with 3x TV BATTERY 5100mAh 5500mAh 6210mAh ~4900mAh PRICE From 549 euros From 499 euros From 519.99 euros From 544 euros 10 GOOGLE APPS THAT COULD HAVE SUCCESSFUL How are all these phones different? Design and screen Although today there are few brands that innovate in terms of the design of their terminals (see the case of Nothing) it is true that among all these models you can see design differences that can make you opt for one or another smartphone. The Google Pixel 10a is a mobile phone with a very flat and minimalist design, with a 6.3 inch compact size which makes it a perfect option to hold with one hand. On the other hand, the Xiaomi 15T has a 6.8-inch screen, for those looking for a greater sense of immersion, especially when watching multimedia content. For its part, the Xiaomi Poco F8 Pro has a 6.59-inch screen and also has a slightly larger design than the Pixel 10a, although its edges are soft; Yes, the plastic finish does not give it the feel of a premium mobile. Finally, from the design of the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE, it can be noted that it also has a large 6.7-inch screen and a more refined and premium design than the other models. Your photography system The Google Pixel 10a was born with the intention of offering a excellent photography experience within the mid-range. Of this model, we can highlight its own photo app, with AI that considerably improves your photos. Its main lens is 48 MP accompanied by a 13 MP ultra wide angle lens. Although yes, it does not have a dedicated telephoto like its older brothers. Compared to the Google model, the Xiaomi 15T offers greater versatility in photography, thanks to its triple rear camera. Plus, they are made by Leica, so you can get more artistic photos. As for the Poco F8 Pro, it incorporates a telephoto and offers 8K recording, although the Pixel surpasses it in color balance and night processing. Finally, the Samsung model presents a more advanced photographic system than Google’s, thanks to its 3x optical telephoto, which gives us greater flexibility when taking photos from a distance. Battery and charging The Google Pixel 10a battery has a average capacity of 5,100 mAh and provides autonomy for a full day using navigation, social networks and spending time on video and photos. Of course, you should know that this group of phones is not the largest battery. The Xiaomi 15T has a capacity of 5,500 mAh, so its autonomy is superior even in intensive use. Regarding the Samsung model, its battery capacity is about 5,000 mAh (4,900 mAh according to its technical sheet), so the results are very similar to those of the Google Pixel 10a, although it may become more efficient thanks to Samsung’s optimization. Finally, the big winner in terms of battery is the Xiaomi Poco F8 Pro, with a capacity of 6,200 mAh, giving us more than enough autonomy even if you use the phone for gaming. All of these smartphones offer fast charging, although it is different in each of them. The Pixel 10a supports wired charging up to 45W, thus improving on its predecessors and charging it in half in about 30 minutes. The Xiaomi model supports it up to 90 W and charges to 100% in 50 minutes. For its part, the Poco F8 Pro supports fast charging of up to 100W, which makes it possible to fully charge it in about 37 minutes. Finally, the Samsung phone is fully charged in about an hour. Their brains are different too The processor is the brain of a mobile phone and in this group of phones, each one has a different one. The Google Pixel 10a has the Google Tensor G4whose main strength is its optimization of Artificial intelligence and good daily performance, although it is not the most powerful or the best for gaming. A MediaTek Dimensity 8400 Ultra is the processor of the Xiaomi 15T, which is perfect for multitasking and demanding appsalthough it is true that it gets hot in very intense sessions and is not as efficient as Google’s for use with AI. The most powerful processor on the list is the Snapdragon 8 Elite that the Poco F8 Pro has, which is ideal for powerful games and very demanding tasks, although it may be more than necessary for users who do not need that extra power. Finally, the Samsung mobile has a Exynos 2400which provides a good balance in general, although it is not so good for demanding gaming. Operating system and updates The new Google Pixel 10a comes with Android 16 pure and receive updates for seven years. Without a doubt, it is the champion of Android updates, becoming the phone par excellence for those who want … Read more

Xiaomi already has its own AI model for robots. At the moment, he’s great at taking apart LEGOs and folding towels.

by

It has been a long, long time since Xiaomi stopped being a mobile company. Today the company’s tentacles reach all types of sectors, from mobile and household appliances until cars, chip design and, from now on, robotics. And the Chinese company has just presented its first vision, language and action model for robotics. Its name: Xiaomi-Robotics-0. What is this about?. Xiaomi-Robotics-0 an open-source model whose code can be found in GitHub and HugginFace. As the company explains, this model has been optimized to offer “high performance, speed and smoothness in real-time executions.” We should not think of this model as an AI capable of making a robot run and jump like a human, but rather one capable of making a “simple” robot understand its surroundings and know how to make the optimal decision without, for example, destroying whatever it has in its hands. About the robots. When we talk about AI applied to robotics we are not just talking about a robot being able to move. The device must know and understand that it should not apply the same force when holding a brick as it does when holding a cat, for example. In that sense, there has to be an understanding of the visual, an understanding of what is being seen and an appropriate execution of actions: this is a brick > it is a heavy object > I have to apply more force to hold it and move it from one side to the other. Xiaomi-Robotics-0 results in the benchmarks | Image: Xiaomi The benchmarks. Xiaomi has achieved, as detailed on the project website, very good results in the benchmarks I RELEASE (measures knowledge transfer), SimplerEnv (measures performance in real simulations) and CALVIN (measures performance in tasks conditioned by language). According to the company, Xiaomi-Robotics-0 “achieves high success rates and robust results in two challenging two-handed tasks: disassembling LEGOs and folding towels.” The fun of training. Every AI model draws from a training dataset. In the case of Xiaomi-Robotics-0, a 4.7 billion parameter model, the dataset consists of 200 million time steps of robot trajectories and more than 80 million samples of general vision-language data, including 338 hours of LEGO disassembly videos and 400 hours of towel folding videos. The results. The company claims in the paper that its model is capable of disassembling complex LEGOs of up to 20 pieces, adapting the grip in real time to avoid errors, using only one hand to place the towel correctly and folding it or, if you pick up two towels from the basket, take one of them, leave it in place and fold only one. This demonstrates an interesting capacity for adaptation and learning that, although it may seem trivial on paper, has its value if we think about industrial and even domestic robots. Beyond. What this model is demonstrating is being able to adapt to complex and unpredictable geometries, such as that of a towel thrown in a basket, and to understand the, let’s say, “soft physics.” On a towel it may seem like a small thing, but let’s think about manipulating human tissues in an intervention, for example. Same with LEGOs. It’s not just disassembling them, it’s understanding the position of the blocks, how they fit together, what force to apply and at what angle so as not to break them. Let’s think about a robot that removes debris. An industrial robot has historically been programmed with fixed coordinates, that is, moving something from point A to point B. A robot with AI like the one proposed by Xiaomi would be much more versatile. The first robot learns movements, the second robot learns tasks, and the difference is a world. If we think about a distant future in which there are domestic robots, a robot cleaning dust from a shelf will not be the same as knowing how to identify objects, decorations, etc., and understanding that it must move them to avoid throwing them away and cleaning them thoroughly.

The Xiaomi electric car that beat Tesla in sales has been renewed. And he has shattered a resistance record along the way

by

Xiaomi’s Xiaomi SU7 has broken a world endurance record and has become the first electric sedan in the world capable of traveling 4,264 kilometers in 24 hours. The previous record was held by another Chinese company. the car. The Xiaomi SU7 renewed just a few weeks ago not only some aesthetic touches: now the engine is the V6s Plus, the same one fitted to the Xiaomi YU7 with the promise of achieving 902km (under CLTC cycle) on a single charge and 670 kilometers of autonomy in 15 minutes. The test. The Chinese brand has just announced that the Xiaomi SU7 Max has just broken a record that until now was held by Xpeng’s P7. 4264 kilometers traveled in 24 hours, within a closed circuit. Why is it important. First of all, this number is the immediate translation of what Xiaomi has achieved with its affordable sedan: shattering the endurance record for electric vehicles. A milestone that places it far above the Xpeng P7. Bringing the circuit test to the practical world, the record comes close to the new SU7 going on sale in China. Xiaomi wants to make it clear that its car is capable of withstanding limits well above those that no user will expose it to on the street. How has he achieved it. For much of the test, the SU7 Max maintained a constant speed of 240 km/h, with a maximum of 265 km/h along CATARC, a 7.8 kilometer oval track. The only stops made were to recharge the vehicle. The engine of this updated SU7 mounts a 101.7 kWH NMC battery, capable of recovering 670 km of autonomy (according to the Chinese CLTC cycle) in just 15 minutes. A V6s Plus engine capable of rotating at 22,000 rpm and extracting a maximum power of 681 HP. Sales success. Xiaomi’s SU7 is an unprecedented success. Being the first car manufactured by the company, it has achieved sell more than the Tesla Model 3, outperform rivals in specifications like him Taycan Turbo in its Ultra version. Still, the company is losing money. 800 million dollars. Ironic as it may seem, Xiaomi lost close to a billion dollars in the first year manufacturing the SU7. The company has placed more than 350,000 cars on the market since the launch of the SU7 but… Between 2021 and 2025, it spent 3.3 billion on the development of both the car and its ecosystem. The figure increased to 4.2 billion in research in 2025. Figures that, as astronomical as they may seem, do not represent a major problem for a company that aspires to become the largest manufacturer of electric cars in the world, above Tesla.
