The New Populele 2 Smart Ukulele from Xiaomi lanched & priced at 599 yuan ($89 US)

Xiaomi has launched the Populele 2 Smart Ukulele. The musical device is a successor to the Populele smart Ukulele that was first launched in February 2017 under the MIJIA crowdfunding platform. The product was well received with almost six times more than the set goal achieved and this may have encouraged Xiaomi to develop an improved and better version. 

The Populele 2 comes with a more streamlined design which looks modernized and sort f digital rather than like the traditional Ukulele. The first-gen Populele was made from Indonesian rosewood with imported nylon strings. This time around, the Populele 2 Smart Ukulele’s body is made using high-purity T700 carbon fiber composite material, supplemented with ASA resin, to reconstruct the body process. The body is 360-degree arc rounded and comes in two stylish color options; Matt Black and White.

This model comes with similar features as the first-gen model and more. It comes with Bluetooth which can be used to interact with the smart “Music CP” app on a smartphone. The app shows the chord that is struck and actually records the same for future reference. It also provides a guide to take beginners through the steps of learning to play the Ukulele.
