Xiaomi, which made a name for itself with the smartphone business, has also established its presence in the market as a powerful TV manufacturer and is also ranking as 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 in its home market on 5th November. Ahead of its official launch, the company is now revealing details about the upcoming Smart TV.
Xiaomi has today confirmed that the Mi TV 5 will come powered by a 12nm T972 chipset with support for 8K video recording which is claimed to be 63 percent higher than the previous-generation CPU. It comes packed with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage to ensure smoother performance.
The Mi TV 5 series is confirmed to come with 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, it seems that Xiaomi is looking to enter the premium segment.

It is not surprising to see Xiaomi shifting its gears towards Quantum Dot LEDs as 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.
The company had shared a teaser image of the upcoming Mi TV 5, giving us a glimpse of the right side of the device, wherein we can see the ‘Designed by Xiaomi’ text. Apart from its slim form factor, there isn’t much we can pick up from this image.
Along with the Mi TV 5, the company is also set to launch a bunch of other products at the 5th November event in China, including Mi CC9 Pro smartphone, Xiaomi Smartwatch, Xiaomi’s Mi Portable Air Conditioner, among others.
