The Chinese electronic device manufacturer company, Xiaomi, recently launched its latest device, Mi drone, with astonishingly cheap prices. The new drone also has some high-end specs and features installed in it like a 4k camera. But, even if the price of the new Xiaomi drone is low as compared to their competitor's device, few reports suggest that there is no guarantee that the new product would work wonders for the company.

NDTV reported that drones generally attract few customers as compared to other devices like smartphones and fitness trackers. Few analysts have claimed that Xiaomi is currently in a dicey situation, where the success of Mi drones is not known. It is reported that if the company's drones don't sell as expected, then Xiaomi's efforts to launch a new product would be useless.

Thus, this situation is expected to pose a huge threat to Xiaomi in the near future.

Meanwhile, Xiaomi is known worldwide for its smartphones range, Yi action camera, Mi Box, and an Android TV-powered set-top box, reported EN Gadget. The latest Mi drones consist of 1080 camera with a 16-megapixel Sony sensor while the 4K version uses a 12-megapixel sensor to record at 3,840x2, 160-pixel resolution.

In addition, the Xiaomi Mi drones have 27 minutes of flight time with a 5,100 mAh removable battery. Also, there are reports that the Mi drones provide GPS support for accurate positioning outside
