The Redmi MAX TV 86” launched in February in China alongside the Redmi K40 series. Barely two months after the TV went on sale, Redmi announced it was raising the price tag by ¥2000. Now it has announced a price cut that brings it back to its original launch price.
Interested buyers will now be able to purchase the Redmi MAX TV 86” for ¥7999 (~$1237) instead of ¥9,999 (~$1546) which it was raised to in April. The manufacturer cited increased demand for components (with a limited supply) for the TV and the fluctuating exchange rates as the reason for raising the price months ago. Now that it has reduced the price, it is safe to assume that the supply for components has improved.
The Xiaomi subsidiary also announced a price cut for the 98-inch model. Originally priced at ¥19,999 (~$3093) when it launched in March 2020, the Redmi MAX TV 98” will now sell for ¥17,999 (~$2783).
Both models of the Redmi MAX series have a 4K display although the smaller model has a 120Hz refresh rate while the bigger model keeps it at 60Hz. The 98-inch model has 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage while the 86-inch version has 2GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. The two TVs have a quad-core processor, dual-band WiFi, three HDMI ports, two USB ports, and an ethernet port.
The new prices will take effect on September 1.
