Behind-the-scenes development details often provide an interesting look into how major tech brands shape their product ecosystems. According to a recent report, Xiaomi originally planned to name its Smart Home Screen device “HomeView.”
The abandoned moniker suggests that Xiaomi sought to emphasize central monitoring and connected-living management for the display. While the company eventually moved forward with a different naming convention for the market, the early concept highlights the product's primary role as a visual hub for the home.
Branding revisions like this are routine across the consumer electronics sector, with manufacturers frequently evaluating multiple internal names before committing to final retail titles that best fit their broader device catalogs.
