: These devices connect directly to your home Wi-Fi. They are designed to stream thousands of global stations without needing a smartphone or PC to be permanently tethered.

: Most high-end Xiaomi flagships (like the Mi 13T or Mi 14 series) lack physical FM chips, requiring users to rely on internet-based streaming apps instead. 🌐 Xiaomi Internet Radio & Smart Speakers
