Xiaomi's Japanese subsidiary released two desktop gaming products on August 3. The Xiaomi Gaming Monitor G25i 2026, a 24.5-inch panel running at up to 240Hz, carries an expected street price of 17,980 yen including tax, while the Xiaomi Desktop Speaker Pro Set, which ships with a wireless subwoofer, is priced at 16,980 yen including tax. The notable part is the pricing: display and audio together still land in the 30,000-yen range.
A 240Hz monitor kept under 20,000 yen
The G25i 2026 is built for competitive play, prioritizing speed over resolution. The panel is a 24.5-inch Fast IPS unit, and in exchange for staying at Full HD (1,920 by 1,080), it delivers a native 240Hz refresh rate and a 1ms GTG (gray-to-gray) response time. FreeSync Premium is supported as well, so the display syncs to fluctuating frame rates and keeps tearing and ghosting down.
A 24.5-inch Full HD panel is not the choice you make for image quality in 2026. It is, however, a size where your eyes cover the whole screen with minimal movement, and driving 240Hz at that resolution keeps GPU load manageable. For competitive titles, the tradeoff makes sense.
On brightness and color, the monitor is rated at 400 nits (typical), a 1,000:1 contrast ratio (typical), 16.7 million colors, and coverage of 100% sRGB and 93% DCI-P3, with DisplayHDR 400 certification. For eye comfort, Xiaomi uses hardware-level low blue light technology certified by TÜV Rheinland, which the company describes as reducing strain without turning the picture yellow.
Gaming features include Darkness Enhancement Pro, which lifts shadow detail while holding back blown highlights, a Crosshair overlay drawn on screen, and Night Vision for dark scenes. Settings are changed with a joystick control. The chassis uses a slim three-side narrow bezel design, and video inputs consist of one DisplayPort 1.4 and one HDMI 2.0, plus a single audio port. VESA mounting is 75 by 75mm, tilt runs from -5 degrees to +15 degrees, and rated power draw is 36W. The monitor measures 557 by 173.1 by 445.6mm including the stand and weighs 3.2kg.
An early-bird campaign runs from launch day through August 16, dropping the price to 17,081 yen during that window. Sales channels are broad: Xiaomi Store locations and the Xiaomi Service Center in Akihabara, plus the Xiaomi official site, the official Rakuten Ichiba store, Amazon.co.jp, the official TikTok Shop, and Yahoo! Shopping.

Audio arrives as a two-piece set with a subwoofer
The Desktop Speaker Pro Set pairs a bar-shaped main speaker with a wireless subwoofer. The main unit uses a horizontal four-driver layout, combining two 10W racetrack drivers with two passive radiators for low-end reinforcement, angled 53 degrees upward to match a natural listening posture. The subwoofer carries a 96mm long-stroke driver and links to the main unit over 2.4GHz wireless. Choosing 2.4GHz rather than Bluetooth for that link reads as a deliberate move to hold down latency for gaming.
Inputs cover USB, Bluetooth 5.3 with A2DP playback, and AUX, with a separate 3.5mm microphone jack. The built-in microphone supports AEC (Acoustic Echo Cancellation), so the set doubles as a calling and meeting device. DSP audio processing backs five EQ modes for music, bass, vocals, games, and movies.
On the visual side, the metal-grille enclosure houses RGB LEDs with six lighting effects that react to the beat. A multifunction side knob handles control in one place, and dedicated PC software allows finer tuning of sound and lighting. The main speaker measures 511 by 75 by 75mm at roughly 960g, and the subwoofer measures 150 by 150 by 219mm at roughly 1,308g.
One caveat: the speaker set is not sold through Amazon.co.jp. It is available at Xiaomi retail locations, the Xiaomi official site, the official Rakuten Ichiba store, the official TikTok Shop, and Yahoo! Shopping. Two products launched the same day but with different channels, so plan accordingly if you want to buy both at once.
After phones and IoT, the desk is next
Xiaomi entered the Japanese market through its local subsidiary in December 2019 and has since expanded from smartphones into smart bands, true wireless earbuds, robot vacuums, and other IoT categories. Adding a monitor and a desktop speaker set moves the lineup close to covering an entire desk with Xiaomi hardware.
The pricing follows the same familiar pattern. A 240Hz monitor at 17,980 yen and a subwoofer-equipped speaker set at 16,980 yen sit a tier below what comparable specifications usually cost from other brands in Japan. Leading with affordable entry models and then absorbing the surrounding accessories is exactly what Xiaomi has done with phones and wearables.
The Full HD limitation still requires acceptance. If the same screen also has to handle documents and spreadsheets, 24.5 inches at Full HD may feel cramped as a workspace. The natural fit is a second display dedicated to competitive gaming, or the foundation of a desk setup that also covers streaming and calls.
Summary
The Xiaomi Gaming Monitor G25i 2026, released on August 3, delivers a 24.5-inch Fast IPS panel with 240Hz and 1ms GTG at 17,980 yen, with an early-bird price of 17,081 yen through August 16. The Desktop Speaker Pro Set, launched the same day at 16,980 yen, is a two-piece system combining a four-driver main speaker with a 96mm wireless subwoofer. Both products favor speed and price over image quality, making them a reasonable pair for anyone assembling an affordable gaming desk.
