Xiaomi has paused development of its Network Attached Storage device, the Xiaomi NAS, and the product has not entered mass production. The company initially intended to launch the device before a recent surge in storage component prices. Rising costs for chips and storage parts have forced the delay in the project timeline.
Device targets entry-level users with phone expansion and AI features
The planned NAS targets entry-level users and integrates with the Xiaomi IoT ecosystem. Key features include phone expansion capabilities and an AI-powered photo album. Data security remains a primary focus for the product design.
Market speculation suggests Xiaomi may cancel the NAS product or delay its release indefinitely if storage prices remain high. This potential outcome is based on current trends in the storage market.
The announcement regarding the pause occurred on May 11, 2024. The story falls under the domains of storage hardware and software integration.
