Xiaomi is set to make its first appearance at IFA Berlin, and for a change, phones won’t be the main focus. The company plans to use IFA 2026 to bring more of its Mijia smart home products to Europe, including large home appliances that were previously hard to find outside China.
This expansion means European consumers may soon be able to purchase their next fridge or washing machine from Xiaomi.
Mijia’s Growing Presence in Europe
Xiaomi has been selling smart home products in Europe for years, with items like robot vacuums, air fryers, and air purifiers already widely available in many countries.
However, the Mijia range in China is much more extensive, offering a wide range of products for the home.
This gap is now starting to close, with Xiaomi having already introduced products like the Mijia Washer Dryer Pro 9kg and Mijia Cross Door Refrigerator 502L to some European markets.
Xiaomi’s Human × Car × Home Plan
At IFA, Xiaomi plans to showcase a broader range of smart home products and demonstrate how they can all work together seamlessly.

The company’s Human × Car × Home plan aims to integrate devices such as phones, watches, home devices, and even cars into a single, cohesive system.
This approach could potentially give Xiaomi an edge in the European market, particularly among its existing phone and wearable users.
With millions of users already invested in the Xiaomi ecosystem, adding more products from the same brand could be an easy sell.
Xiaomi’s IFA Debut
IFA 2026 will take place in Berlin from September 4 to September 8, marking Xiaomi’s first appearance at the show.
The company will have its own space in Hall 6.2, where it will showcase new products and some of its latest technology.
It is surprising that Xiaomi waited this long to bring its full Mijia range to Europe, given the company’s extensive smart home offerings in China.

Bringing more Mijia products to Europe makes sense, especially considering Xiaomi’s existing user base across the continent.
A Catch and a Potential Advantage
However, there’s a catch: Xiaomi hasn’t confirmed which products will launch in every European country, and the Mijia range can vary from one market to another.
Seeing a product at IFA doesn’t necessarily mean it will be available in local Xiaomi stores the next day.
Still, this development is a positive step for Xiaomi fans in Europe, who have been waiting for the company to launch more of its interesting home products globally.
If Xiaomi brings its usual pricing to larger home appliances, it could potentially disrupt the market and give companies like Samsung and LG a run for their money outside the smartphone market.
As the Mijia ecosystem expands in Europe, it will be interesting to see how consumers respond to the company’s smart home offerings and whether Xiaomi can successfully integrate its devices into a seamless Human × Car × Home system.
