Chinese tech giant Xiaomi has unveiled its new product - a drone - set to be launched on May 25.

In its official forum, Xiaomi teased fans about what the company calls a “Mi Drone.” The tech firm is now entering a field dominated by other giants such as DJI.

Although prices for the still-unnamed drone are yet to be released, fans are speculating that it will be affordable as Xiaomi is known for churning out top-performing devices at budget-friendly prices. The company has proven this with several devices already, but it perfectly nailed this concept with the recently released Mi Max phablet, which costs less than $300.

The drone is believed to be a quadcopter, “something wonderful and cool [that] is flying to us very soon.” 

There are rumors that it could be controlled by the Mi Band using a “follow me” feature. Xiaomi has not released any other information regarding the drone except for the launch date. The device might be called the Mi Drone based on the company’s announcement, but we cannot be certain.

May is a big month for the Chinese tech company. Aside from the recent release of the Mi Max phablet, Xiaomi also announced the US release of the Mi-Box streamer, which is 4K ready. The company has revealed that it will work with Google to create a virtual-reality phone that will use the new Android Daydream VR technology.
