Baidu Joins Smart Speaker Price War

Baidu Joins Smart Speaker Price War

Baidu (BIDU) is gunning for revenues in the smart speaker market with a new device at a steeply discounted price. Baidu’s Xiaodu speaker was released in China on June 10 at a promotional price of roughly $14, which makes Xiaodu the cheapest smart speaker from a major Chinese brand. Although Baidu intends to continue the Xiaodu discount as long as it can, the device will retail at $39 after the promotion is over.
