Xiaomi might be getting into drones. The company posted a mysterious lil' baby flying device on its Weibo page last night, which might be its first official hint at a foray into the drone game. Look at the thing! It looks like a maple tree seed! The poster doesn't give us much to go off, but GizChina reports that Xiaomi accidentally pushed its drone app live, showing that whatever it releases will probably shoot 4K video. There's also been patent hints that the drone will be controlled by a wearable.
