Hugo Barra Teases Xiaomi Mi Android TV Reveal for Google I O
Hugo Barra, former master presenter of Android at Google who now overseas the fun happening with Xiaomi, teased a couple of interesting bits of Google I/O related material this week, prompting those of us in this tech sphere to wonder if Xiaomi has co-developed a product with Google to be announced tomorrow. You can see the tweets below that prompted the speculation, both of which appear to show something gaming and TV focused.
See them? First we have a gamepad combo and then we a volume up switch that could be sitting below a power button for a remote, next to the shape of the device? Maybe? Your vision may come up with something different, but thats what Im seeing.
Barra did say specifically that they will be a part of Google I/O, so this isnt him just running with the hype and teasing a product that will launch outside of I/O. Xiaomi is also no stranger to TV-like products. They currently sell a stand-alone TV along with a TV box, like a Nexus Player or Fire TV.
Could this be a new Nexus Player with extra gaming capabilities? Maybe its just a new Mi product that has official Android support? I dont know, but Im excited.
