In the past six years, Xiaomi has established itself as a powerful TV manufacturer and it’s no surprise that it ranks number one in the smart TV category in China. After announcing the Mi TV Pro lineup a few months ago, Xiaomi is all set to release the new Mi TV 5 series on November 5. Today, the company has confirmed the new Mi TV 5 models will come with the premium Quantum Dot display panels from Samsung.

The Mi TV 5 series will use a 4K QLED panel covering NTSC 108% wide color gamut. The Quantum Dot panel is likely to be supplied by Samsung who dominates this industry. The current generation Mi TV 4 series comes with either LCD or LED panels, so with the Mi TV 5 series, Xiaomi is looking to enter the premium segment.
Xiaomi’s shift to Quantum Dot LEDs isn’t surprising. The recently launched OnePlus TV also features Samsung’s premium QLED panels. So, the Mi TV maker is trying to jump into the premium segment with its new generation models. In fact, a recent survey from one of the Xiaomi executives had already given us a glimpse of Xiaomi’s intentions. Unfortunately, we don’t have any more information on the upcoming TVs.
Xiaomi has launched a few premium TV models in the past such as the Mi TV curved 65″ and the Mi Wallpaper TV.
