Lucky me to have landed a Indian Version of the Mi Bluetooth Speaker, I was curious about the differences between the two and so I have took time and effort to research about the said speaker, for the sake of comparison.
Lets Start!
Video Unbox and Comparison:
Actual Photos:
Now both speaker have the same packaging as per the front cover is concerned, the clean white box.
The back of the box, in the Indian Version its written in English, and the China one is obviously written in Chinese.
As we take notice of the case of the speaker, the engraving of Mi Logo is very elegant on the China version, and on the Indian Version it seems like they did not put a little effort to make the MI Logo noticeable. The fabric of the China version is smooth, while the Indian version is a bit rough.
Of course the manual is all chinese for the China release and the other one is multilanguage.
There are no noticeable differences between the two version in terms of design. Dimensions and material of the case is the same.
We begin to see the difference here, the China edition has White LED ring while the indian version has Blue LED Ring. plus there are no chinese characters printed in the Indian Version.
Here we can see the main difference, the Indian version has the Micro SD Card slot missing. I wonder why.
The China version is sold at 199 RMB while the Indian Version cost 252 RMB as per conversion (1/25/2017 exchange rate). Something is not right when you are paying more for less features.
The sounds quality is basically the same as I play thru some somes on both speakers. But there is another difference, the Indian Version speaks English, while the Chinese version speaks Chinese for the battery indicator and for some voice prompt of the speaker.
USB Cable are not provided on both units.
