Xiaozhi Card Kit
SKU:K146
Description
Xiaozhi Card is an ESP32-S3-based smart voice terminal. It supports 4G and Wi-Fi connectivity and is equipped with a 2.7-inch capacitive e-ink touchscreen, microphone, and speaker, delivering a smooth and user-friendly voice-interaction experience. With an onboard 300 mAh battery, the device features charging management and battery level detection for long standby time and convenient charging.
Xiaozhi Card offers three wake-up methods—button, touch, and voice—to suit different user habits. The magnetic design allows easy attachment to the base, a refrigerator, or any metal surface. Pogo-pin magnetic contacts handle both communication and charging between the host and the base. The base provides a USB Type-C port, a Grove port, reset and download buttons, and an RGB status LED. Ready to use out of the box with simple configuration, it is an ideal choice for voice assistants, digital assistants, MCP terminals, and other smart-interaction scenarios.

SIM Card
The product comes with a China Mobile IoT SIM card that includes 1 GB of XiaoZhi dedicated data per month and is valid for one year, counted from the first time it goes online. After the validity period, you can renew it at http://iotwe.yshiqi.com/recharge.php.
If the SIM card is still within the one-year trial period, the Recharge Management Page will display “This card is not eligible for online recharge” (as shown below), but this does not affect normal use. We recommend recharging after the trial period expires.
The included SIM card is for this product only
The device is shipped with the matching IoT card (nano SIM) pre-installed. Do not use this SIM card in other devices or for other purposes, otherwise it will be locked. If you use a 4G network, you need to install a nano-size SIM card as shown below. If installed incorrectly, carefully remove it with tweezers or similar tools to avoid damaging the device and SIM card. The SIM card supports hot-swapping; no reboot is required after insertion. However, establishing a 4G connection from a cold start takes some time, typically around 20 seconds, depending on the carrier’s signal strength.
SIM Card Compatibility
In addition to the included SIM card, you can also use other cards.
