Presentations Xiaomi in 2022: full calendar of announcements, key innovations and where to watch broadcasts

2022 was a period of active releases for Xiaomi: the company introduced more than 20 devices – from the flagship Xiaomi 12 and Mix Fold 2 smartphones to the budget Redmi Note 11 and smart gadgets for the Mi Home ecosystem. However, due to the pandemic and logistical problems, the presentation schedule was shifted several times, and some announcements were held online without traditional offline events. In this article, we collected all the official dates of Xiaomi presentations in 2022, analyzed the key innovations of each event and explained how to track future brand releases.

It is important to understand that Xiaomi is not only presenting for the global market, but also separately for China, India and Europe. For example, Xiaomi 12 Pro debuted in December 2021 in the home of the brand, but officially went on sale in Russia only in March 2022. We took these nuances into account and indicated release dates for major regions, including Russia, Ukraine (until February 2022) and Kazakhstan.
