BEIJING, Oct. 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Baidu, Inc.
(NASDAQ: BIDU) held the 2020 Xiaodu Fall New Product Launch today
in Beijing to unveil the new
flagship Xiaodu Smart Display X10 and the upgraded true wireless
XiaoduPods smart earbuds. An array of enhanced AI features and
product line price adjustments were also highlighted at the event.
The breakthrough developments showcase the prowess of Xiaodu in
designing AI-powered smart consumer electronic devices and
exemplify its commitment towards the core strategy of "breaking
boundaries" to bring intelligent devices to a larger audience and a
wider range of scenarios.
"Our goal is to serve people of all age groups. We hope to
accelerate the process of 'breaking boundaries', allowing smart
assistants to be engaged in different scenarios at a faster pace
and enter the lives of more people," said Kun Jing, Corporate Vice President of Baidu and
General Manager of Smart Living Group (SLG), at the launch.
Xiaodu Smart Display X10, the newest addition and flagship unit
of Xiaodu's smart speaker product line, has been equipped with a
suite of upgraded AI-powered functions that guarantee a seamless
user experience for family members of all age groups. The
comprehensive modifications include full-duplex continued
conversation, gesture control, voiceprint recognition, and
intelligent response capabilities, all empowered by Baidu's leading
AI technology.
The X10 was designed in collaboration with fuseproject, a
leading industrial design and innovation firm based in Silicon
Valley, renowned for its creative work. Instead of utilizing the
plastic exterior build found in predecessors, the X10 features
cutting-edge metallic and mesh construct, complete with a zinc
alloy circular base to exude a futuristic aesthetic. Its 10.1-inch
FullView IPS display with 1280*800 resolution on a 20mm thin frame
alongside the 8W speakers allows users to indulge in among the most
extensive video and music resources in the industry, offering great
family entertainment experiences. The 5MP HD camera on X10 enables
vivid photography, security monitoring, and documentation of daily
life.
At the event, Kun Jing also
showcased the upgraded true wireless smart earbuds XiaoduPods and
demonstrated its "voice note" function, a new feature that is sure
to improve work efficiency. Users can simply tap once to enable the
new function, which can turn on the recording mode of XiaoduPods or
a connected smartphone device. The real-time speech recognition
capabilities of XiaoduPods will simultaneously transcribe the
recording to text on the connected smartphone. Upon
completion, users can then edit the text while listening to the
recording playback. The resulting files are then exported and
backed up to other devices.
With an AI voice assistant, intelligent translation function,
and 28-hour long battery life, the XiaoduPods have been received
with unprecedented popularity and sold out online within two hours
once launched at Baidu World 2020. Users can also use XiaoduPods in
combination with the Xiaodu App to control smart home devices and
initiate smart functions such as navigation, phone calls or
listening to the news with their voices.
A series of price reductions across the Xiaodu product line have
also been implemented, accelerating the future of smart living and
fulfilling the needs of more users. Original prices of the Xiaodu
Air and Xiaodu Smart Speaker Kids Edition have been reduced,
allowing the entry level devices to become even more economical and
cost-efficient for all user demographics. As smart speakers are
gradually becoming a necessity for Chinese households, the modest
price range will increase the overall accessibility of smart living
for a huge number of users.
