5 Reasons the Xiaomi S40 Outperforms the H40

LiDAR navigation beats gyroscopic sensors The S40 uses LiDAR to build a real-time map of your home, while the H40 relies on gyroscopic sensors that approximate movement. This means the S40 knows exactly where it is and where it’s going.

Room-by-room cleaning is possible With its map, the S40 can clean specific rooms in a set order. The H40 cannot reliably do this because it lacks spatial awareness.

Complex layouts are handled better The S40 navigates tight corners and multi-room homes without getting lost. The H40 struggles with anything beyond an open floor plan.

Cleaning is more efficient The S40 plans efficient paths instead of bouncing around randomly. This saves time and battery life compared to the H40’s guesswork.

You get consistent results LiDAR doesn’t drift over time like gyroscopic sensors do. The S40’s maps stay accurate, while the H40’s position tracking can degrade during a cleaning session.
