Xiaomi released a teaser about an upcoming water-related event on June 10 in China. The picture and its text mean water, but there is nothing beyond that.

Towards the end of last year, first reports surfaced online claiming that Xiaomi was working on a smart water purifier. The Chinese company could now be planning on launching it next week.
