Yango Group Unveils Yasmina AI-Enhanced Smart Speakers For UAE
The Mini and Midi-sized models feature a bilingual AI assistant with personalized interactions and smart home integration.
Yango Group has just introduced two new AI-enhanced smart speakers in the UAE. The Yasmina Midi and Yasmina Mini come equipped with a bilingual AI assistant with conversational skills in both Khaleeji Arabic and English, making interactions feel natural and culturally relevant.
Powered by Yango Group’s proprietary large language model (LLM), Yasmina can conduct lifelike conversations and even add a touch of humor with local jokes. The speakers’ features extend beyond basic conversation and can recognize up to four different family members by their voices and tailor content according to each individual’s preferences. By remembering users’ likes and dislikes, Yasmina can suggest music and other content based on personal tastes.
In addition, Yasmina can also display information such as the time and weather, while also conveying emotions through an LED screen. The dynamic lighting adjusts to match the ambiance of the music or the nature of the interaction.
Finally, for religious users, Yasmina can also recite surahs from the Quran, play Adhans, and provide the Hijri calendar date. Both speakers also offer prayer times for any global location.
Key Features Of Yasmina Smart Speakers
The Yasmina Midi speaker is designed for spaces up to 300 square feet, featuring three speakers, including a subwoofer and two tweeters, for a powerful, expansive sound. The more compact Yasmina Mini is ideal for smaller rooms up to 200 square feet, offering clear, balanced audio.

Both models prioritize privacy with a mute button that disconnects the microphones, preventing Yasmina from listening or responding to voice commands when activated. The speakers also function as smart home hubs, enabling users to control their environment using voice commands. Yasmina Midi includes Zigbee and Wi-Fi capabilities, while the Yasmina Mini connects to smart home systems via Wi-Fi.
Availability & Special Offers
Yasmina Midi and Yasmina Mini can be purchased from various retailers and online platforms across the UAE, including Virgin Megastore, Jumbo Electronics, Sharaf DG, and noon.com. The Yasmina Midi is priced at AED 449, and the Yasmina Mini is AED 279.
To enhance the smart speaker experience, Yango Group is also offering a 90-day free trial of Yango Play. With an active subscription, Yasmina can recommend and play content tailored to each family member’s preferences, making the listening experience more personalized.
