Xiaomi's Japanese arm, Xiaomi Japan, released the Xiaomi Gaming Monitor G25i 2026 and the Xiaomi Desktop Speaker Pro Set on August 3, 2026[1]. The monitor is a 24.5-inch panel with a native 240Hz refresh rate and a suggested retail price of 17,980 yen including tax. The speaker set ships with a wireless subwoofer for 16,980 yen including tax. What stands out here is the price band: both halves of a desktop refresh, picture and sound, land under 20,000 yen each.

24.5 Inches and 240Hz for Under 20,000 Yen

The G25i 2026 uses a Fast IPS panel at 1920×1080[2]. It pairs a native 240Hz refresh rate with a 1ms GTG response time, and AMD FreeSync Premium corrects tearing when the frame rate fluctuates. Dynamic OD, which adjusts response speed according to frame rate, is also included to hold down ghosting in fast-moving scenes[2].

The 24.5-inch size has settled in as the mainstream choice for competitive titles because it keeps eye movement short. Capping the resolution at 1920×1080 is a coherent decision too, given the GPU load required to actually sustain 240Hz. The flip side is that this is not a display for people who want desk space or crisp text for productivity work.

On image quality, the monitor carries DisplayHDR 400 certification, covers 100% sRGB and 93% DCI-P3, and uses 8-bit color depth[2]. Brightness is rated at 400 nits, measured on a full white screen with screen brightness set to 100[2]. DisplayHDR 400 sits at the entry level of the HDR tiers, so the realistic expectation is a modest margin over standard display rather than a dramatic change in tonal range.

Tactical Aids for Dark Scenes, and the Input Options

Three gaming aids are on board: Darkness enhancement Pro, which brightens shadow detail zone by zone while holding back blown highlights; Crosshair, which overlays an aiming reticle at the center of the screen; and Night Vision, which makes enemies easier to spot in dark environments[1][2]. Crosshair includes automatic color adjustment and 5 modes[2].

For eye comfort, the backlight module itself reduces the emission intensity of short-wavelength blue light in the 415 to 455nm range, a hardware-level approach certified by TÜV Rheinland[2]. Unlike software color-temperature shifts, this avoids the yellow cast that usually comes with blue light reduction.

The chassis is a slim design with narrow bezels on three sides, and menu navigation runs through a joystick on the back. The viewing angle is 178°, and video inputs are one DisplayPort 1.4 and one HDMI 2.0, with the HDMI port also accepting 1920×1080 at 240Hz[2]. The stand offers tilt only, with no height or swivel adjustment. Wall mounting is supported, but the bracket is sold separately[2].

Four Drivers and a Wireless Subwoofer

The Xiaomi Desktop Speaker Pro Set, launched the same day, is a two-piece set consisting of a main speaker and a wireless subwoofer[3]. The main speaker uses two 10W racetrack drivers plus dual passive radiators arranged horizontally in a 4-driver layout, and it is angled 53° upward so that sound reaches ear height more directly[1][3].

The subwoofer carries a 96mm long-stroke driver and a tuned acoustic port, handling bass reproduction down to 60Hz[3]. It has its own power supply and connects to the main speaker over low-latency 2.4GHz wireless, so audio and video stay in step. Volume, sound mode, and lighting settings sync to the subwoofer automatically[3].

Audio processing runs through a fully digital signal chain built from a DSP and a digital amplifier, with 5 selectable EQ modes: music, bass, vocal, game, and movie[1][3]. Connectivity covers USB, Bluetooth 5.3, and AUX. A high-sensitivity built-in microphone with AEC (Acoustic Echo Cancellation) is included, and a 3.5mm external mic input sits on the back, so the set works for calls and meetings as is[3].

On the decorative side, the main speaker holds 24 RGB LEDs and the subwoofer 5, with 6 lighting effects to choose from. Starlight Twinkle is a newly added effect[3]. Controls are consolidated into a multifunction side knob and two buttons on top, while finer tuning happens in the dedicated PC software, Xiaomi C-HUB. That software is distributed through the Microsoft Store and the Mac App Store and becomes available when the speaker is connected over USB[3].

Pricing and Sales Channels

The G25i 2026 has a suggested retail price of 17,980 yen including tax. An early-purchase campaign runs from launch day through August 16, 2026, bringing the price down to 17,081 yen during that window[1]. Sales channels include Xiaomi Store locations and the Xiaomi Service Center Akihabara, along with the official Xiaomi site (mi.com), the official Xiaomi Rakuten Ichiba store, Amazon.co.jp, the official Xiaomi Japan TikTok Shop, and Yahoo! Shopping[1].

The Desktop Speaker Pro Set is 16,980 yen including tax, and its channel list does not include Amazon.co.jp. It is sold through Xiaomi Store locations and the Xiaomi Service Center Akihabara, mi.com, the official Xiaomi Rakuten Ichiba store, the official TikTok Shop, and Yahoo! Shopping[1]. Buying both comes to 34,960 yen, or 34,061 yen during the early-purchase window.

Summary

On August 3, Xiaomi Japan released the G25i 2026, a 24.5-inch gaming monitor with 240Hz and 1ms GTG, at 17,980 yen including tax, and the Desktop Speaker Pro Set, with its 4-driver layout and wireless subwoofer, at 16,980 yen including tax. The monitor drops to 17,081 yen under the early-purchase campaign through August 16. The 1920×1080 resolution and tilt-only stand are clear compromises, but the pair puts a 240Hz setup and subwoofer-backed desktop audio together for around 35,000 yen.
