<p>Kuala Lumpur—The ground floor of the Foster+ Partners-designed ILHAM Tower was packed with guests from all over South East Asia in anticipation of one of the most stylish launches of Xiaomi this year. Entitled My Style, My Shot, this chic event is reminiscent of a candy-colored rave party, especially with the unexpected venue—the lower floor of Malaysia’s 7th tallest building.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/38bc9e1c-e891-4b58-ab1b-d5f6936efeee_kv 1 .jpeg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><div></div><p>The location’s architecture gives an introductory view of what the event will be all about—a stylish affair amidst the sweeping architectural delight of intersecting diagonal of sleek glass and steel accents that highlight the exo-skeleton that wraps the building in triangular frames as if a gift waiting to be unwrapped. </p><div><br/></div><div class="imageRichText" draggable="true" style="display:table;padding:25px 0px 0px 25px;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto"><img src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/6dfedf3b-ee30-4c93-bdcf-c4082da68997_1660961586804.jpg" style="width:300px" alt="cms.metro.style 0"/></div><div><br/></div><p>The unwrapping begins as you enter the grounds, first greeted by country-specific stations that all but indicate how truly special this event is. Malaysia, Cambodia, and of course, the Philippines are all represented by individual registration areas, reminding participants that this event has teams representing different South East Asia countries. </p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/6ff6805f-0af3-492d-a082-ab4b23437d9c_img_20220818_192310.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><div></div><p>This serves as the vestibule because once inside, you’ll instantly be transported to a pink space with projection mapping. There’s a lot to take in—from a cotton candy booth which are also mirrored by tall cotton candy-like sculptures to two tables lined up with phone displays. There’s a DJ playing light EDM, while the words My Style, My Shot are on the walls in stylized neon lights. At the far end of the room is a stage with seating, which is where the entire event took place. </p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/1a549ebf-768c-4a60-ae87-c11ca577980c_img_20220818_192853.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><div></div><p>The event kicked off with the introduction of some of the key figures in Xiaomi: from K.M. Leong, the General Manager of Southeast Asia Xiaomi International and Nicolas Shi, the Country Manager of Xiaomi Malaysia and Singapore. Leong the went up on-stage to share some of the milestones for Xiaomi: The brand moved up the Fortune Global 500 list for the 4th consecutive year, rising 72 places in 2022 compared to last year, and the brand is currently the #1 Smartphone vendor in Malaysia, and #4 in the Philippines, and also recognized as the #1 mobile phone brand by GMV and Units sold by Lazada and Shopee during their 6.6, 7.7, and 8.8 sales. Feats that resulted in a lot of cheers from the audience.</p><div><br/></div><div><strong>Smart Lifestyle Products</strong></div><p>Then Leong continued to the main part of the presentation, where he showcased three new Smart products: the Xiaomi Smart Air Purifier 4 Compact, the Xiaomi Smart Pet Food Feeder, Xiaomi Smart Pet Fountain, and the Xiaomi Smart Doorbell 3.</p><div><br/></div><p>All three products are a delight to see, but you could really see the excitement when the pet products were announced. The feeder had 24-hour automatic pet feeding, also has remote automatic feeding via the Xiaomi home app, great for those who sometimes have to leave their pet babies unsupervised at home. </p><div><br/></div><p>The Smart Pet Fountain is also pretty convenient since it can keep 24-hour healthy water for pets with its 21-volume capacity and water filtering technology.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/f73f5a90-8231-49b9-b7bf-e40f72ae8862_1660966572014.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><div><strong>Imaging + Looks</strong></div><p>Then came main event, the announcement of the new product—the Xiaomi 12 Lite! It’s cute and chic—colorful, ultra-slim, and featherweight. It brings an all-new stylish design with a fully upgraded camera, explains Leong in his keynote.</p><div><br/></div><p>For one, it’s sleek and light. It’s 7.29mm thin and weighs only 173g, so it’s easy to hold in just one hand. </p><div><br/></div><p>The colors are especially eye-catching: The back cover comes in a matte color gradient that changes hues based on available light. It come in three colorways—Lite Green, Lite Pink, and Black. A favorite, of course would be the pink, and we think Xiaomi likes this, too, because that’s the general theme of the event.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/b97ff625-f459-4c1a-9c2e-f88142436468_1660961586784.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><div><strong>Selfie-ready anytime</strong></div><p>Now on to the cameras: it comes with a studio-level triple camera set-up featuring a 108MP main camera with a large HM2 sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide angle camera, and  2MP macro camera that captures high-definition images in detail from any angle.
