Let’s do the first review of Xiaomi Smart Display Speaker Pro 8 and take a closer look at design, specifications and price of new smart speaker.
Is It a Speaker or Tablet?
At first glance, it looks like a tablet with a large built-in speaker on the back. In fact, this is a large 50.8 mm speaker with a built-in touch screen on the front panel.
The case is made of ABS plastic. The device comes only in matte white color. The information about the size and weight is still unknown, but looking at real photos of the box, the smart speaker will be quite compact.
This is good, because you do not need to free up a lot of space on the table to put a speaker.

The viewing angle is 178 degrees. The display is protected from glare, and it provides a good image from different angles.
The bezels around the display are quite wide. The top bezel has an integrated camera, so the user can make video calls.
The entire bottom is a speaker.
