Xiaomi Launches A Modern Digital Walkie-Talkie With Color Screen, Range Of Up To 5 Km And A 100-Hour Battery Life. Water And Dust Resistant, It Combines Nostalgia And Innovation For Civilian And Professional Use

The Chinese giant Xiaomi, recognized for its strength in the global smartphone market, surprised everyone by launching a device that mixes nostalgia and modern technology: a digital walkie-talkie with a compact design, color screen, and a battery life of over 100 hours.

A Military Technology That Lives On

The first walkie-talkies emerged in 1940, created for military use by the company that would later become Motorola. Over time, they transitioned to civilian use, becoming icons of the 1980s.

Even with the popularization of mobile phones, this technology has never disappeared and continues to be used by police, firefighters, and armed forces all over the world.

Classic Design With Smart Features

The Xiaomi Digital Walkie-Talkie maintains the “candy bar” shape with a protected antenna, but is much thinner than traditional devices.

It features a 1.57-inch color LED screen (320 x 200 pixels) that displays contact information, settings, and notifications. It also has IP54 certification, making it resistant to dust and water splashes, ideal for outdoor use.

The device can be managed through the Xiaomi Intercom app, which allows you to configure contacts and even view the relative position of the person you are communicating with.

Moreover, it is compatible with Bluetooth headsets and has an integrated 36 mm speaker, ensuring clear calls even in noisy environments.

Range Of 5 Km And Up To 100 Hours Of Battery

Xiaomi utilized FDMA (Frequency Division Multiple Access) technology to enhance communication clarity, providing high-definition audio and reducing interference.

The range reaches up to 5 kilometers in open areas or covers spaces of up to 10,000 m², such as shopping malls or industrial complexes.

The battery is another highlight: with a 2,500 mAh capacity, the walkie-talkie guarantees up to 100 hours on standby or about 14 hours of continuous use.

Charging is done via USB-C, and the device can be used while charging, an important advantage for long journeys or intensive operations.

Range Of 5 Km And Up To 100 Hours Of Battery

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Spain installs two giant pipelines 2.2 km off the coast to draw water from the Mediterranean and supply a megafacility capable of producing 200 million liters of drinking water per day.

Without wheels, iron, or machines, teams of up to 32 men would have dragged 2.3-ton blocks over wet sand up a ramp embedded in the pyramid itself, raising the structure in 20 to 27 years, according to a new computer model that reignites a millennia-old debate.

The largest car carrier ship in the world will unload 7,200 BYD cars at the SC Port in June, but before that, an Italian ship will arrive this Tuesday with another 4,500 vehicles, totaling 11,700 cars, 150 workers, and a 24-hour non-stop operation at the Port of Itajaí.

African country launched a $145 million project to rehabilitate 35 dams and drill deep wells seeking water stored for millennia beneath the desert, a plan that Captain Ibrahim Traoré’s government presents as a path to the country’s water sovereignty.

A 400-meter colossus powered by natural gas has just set sail from Shanghai to Europe, carrying over 24,000 containers. It is the world’s largest dual-fuel container ship and can cross the planet without refueling even once.

The largest highway concession company in Brazil already belongs to an Italian group, and now the railway sector may be next to receive billions in investments from Italy amid the progress of the Mercosur and European Union agreement.

A new study overturns the central idea we learned about planets and suggests that Earth is the exception rather than the rule; most rocky worlds in the galaxy may not have a core or mantle, just a single turbulent fluid extending to the center.

Scientists reanimated a 48,500-year-old virus in the laboratory that had been frozen in the Siberian permafrost since before the extinction of the Neanderthals, and it was still capable of infecting living organisms after tens of millennia dormant in the ice.

The oldest nuclear aircraft carrier still in operation in the world is currently on Brazilian soil making its final journey before retirement, and two American military planes landed in Salvador and Fortaleza to support the mission.

WhatsApp is about to eliminate one of the app’s biggest annoyances; soon a single screen will show all online contacts at the same time without needing to open each conversation individually to find out who is available.
