Xiaomi has almost no presence in the US, and these partner products represent a small fraction of the ecosystem offered in China, India and elsewhere. But by adding Google Assistant support, Xiaomi can at least present itself as a more viable option for American gadget shoppers. CEO Lei Jun recently said that the company plans to launch its own phones in the US within a year or so, though it’s made similar promises in the past.
The Mi Bedside Lamp will be available in the US this month; the other two products don’t have release dates beyond “shortly.” Pricing info isn’t yet available.
