After launching an ultra-budget Mi Air Purifier 2C in October, Xiaomi announced a new generation Mi Air Purifier 3 in India.

The new Mi Air Purifier boasts triple-layer filtration which includes a primary filter, a true HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filter, and an activated carbon filter.
The primary filter will suck large particles in the air (PM10 and above). On the other hand, the true HEPA filter will intercept smaller particles (PM2.5), which accounts for 99.97% of the pollutants. Whereas, the activated carbon filter is capable of ridding the air of formaldehyde, toxic substances, and bad odour.
