Xiaomi teased a video with Netflix chime accompanying a dialogue from a popular Indian title Sacred Games. However, so far Netflix support on Android-based Mi TVs was only possible by using either the Amazon Fire Stick or external Android TV Box. So, the official Netflix support is a precious gift and welcome move from Xiaomi India.
Unfortunately, Xiaomi didn’t confirm the availability of Netflix on existing Mi TVs. We have to wait for official words at the launch event on September 17.

Apart from the Netflix support, Xiaomi Global VP and MD of Xiaomi India, Manu Kumar Jain confirmed the launch of “the biggest and the best Mi TV in India.” He also threw some light on the TV specs, including 4K resolution support and 65-inch display size. He also said he’ll reveal more details about the TV if the post gets retweeted more than 65000 times.
In China, Xiaomi has already unveiled the 65-inch TV for the price ranging between Rs 30000 and Rs 70000. OnePlus is also preparing to launch its maiden smart TV on September 26th with a premium offering. It would be interesting to see healthy competition between these two rival Chinese companies in the smart TV market.
