Weighing at just 58g, the Xiaomi Mi Portable Bluetooth Speaker is perfect if you’re looking for budget portable Bluetooth speakers that pack just enough punch but are not too bulky. It is even smaller than the average Singaporean palm-size and with all other Xiaomi products, its a beautifully minimalistic design.
