Xiaomi has now released the Soundbar 2.0ch in Europe, two months after introducing the TV Speaker 2.0 and TV Speaker 2.1 in China. As its name suggests, the Soundbar 2.0ch is a two-channel solution with dedicated drivers for each channel.
According to Xiaomi, each 'racetrack' driver measures 45 x 80 mm and delivers 15 W of power for a 30 W total maximum output. Additionally, each driver provides a 70 Hz~20 KHz frequency response while operating at 100-240 V. Meanwhile, the Soundbar 2.0ch offers Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity plus 3.5 mm AUX, coaxial, optical and SPDIF physical inputs.

Moreover, the soundbar has four hardware buttons, two of which for volume control. As the image below shows, Xiaomi has also included a power button and a physical button for enabling Bluetooth pairing. Furthermore, the soundbar can be wall-mounted if needs be.
In other words, the Soundbar 2.0ch is not as feature-rich as Xiaomi's other soundbars like the Soundbar 3.1ch, nor will it get as loud as its 3.1 channel counterpart. However, its starting price of €59.99 (~$63) is less than a third of the Soundbar 3.1ch (curr. $199.99 on Amazon). Currently, the Soundbar 2.0ch is exclusive to Xiaomi Germany as far as we can tell. A broader global launch should be on the horizon, though.
