Xiaomi is India’s largest smart TV brand. The company’s television offers a unique software experience in the form of PatchWall. The firm is known for updating its TVs with new features every now and then. Select Mi and Redmi televisions have now started receiving a new system update with an interesting feature.
All the TVs sold by Xiaomi in India run Android TV with PatchWall content aggregation service. Hence, they come with Google Assistant by default. In fact, it is the only smart home platform available on these televisions.
The company is now changing this by introducing the ‘Works with Alexa’ app for select TV models. The application enables users to control Amazon Alexa-powered through their televisions.
The app is currently being rolled out to the Redmi Smart TV X series and Mi QLED TV 4K 55 via a software update. This system update arrives with build numbers R21.10.29.3261 and R21.10.29.3261 for the former and the latter respectively.
Apart from bringing the Alexa application, the latest update also bumps up the security patch level.
The announcement of this software update comes directly from Sudeep Sahu, the head of the TV category at Xiaomi India. He says that the update will be rolled out in batches.
