Xiaomi has started taking blind reservations for a new television, the Xiaomi TV S Pro RGB-Mini LED 2027 Ultra. As the name indicates, the television uses RGB-Mini LED backlighting, which is a different approach from the standard QD-Mini LED panels the company has used previously.
Xiaomi is not the only company making this transition. Earlier this month, Huawei also launched its first RGB-Mini LED television, the Vision Smart Screen 6 SE RGB, indicating a growing industry shift toward the technology among major display manufacturers.
To understand the change, it helps to look at how current Mini LED TVs work. Most mainstream Mini LED sets on the market use a backlight made entirely of blue LEDs. To get red and green light, the TV passes that blue light through a quantum-dot film or a phosphor layer.
This method is relatively cost-effective and allows manufacturers to pack in a high number of local dimming zones. However, the system only controls brightness. It cannot adjust the color of the light source itself, which can sometimes result in light loss, oversaturated colors, or a hazy blooming effect around bright objects on the screen.
RGB-Mini LED changes the hardware at the backlight level. Instead of using only blue LEDs and a filter, each local dimming zone contains individual red, green, and blue LED chips. This setup allows the television to control three different variables: the specific dimming zone, the overall brightness, and the exact mix of red, green, and blue light being emitted at the source.
The new Xiaomi television is expected to be formally announced alongside other upcoming hardware, including the Mix 5 Fold smartphone and the Xring O3 chip.
Currently, the reservation period is open in China from August 22 until September 1, 2026. Customers can reserve the TV at physical Xiaomi Stores with a 100 yuan ($14.88) deposit. The reservation includes a promotional bundle consisting of a Xiaomi Sound 3.1 soundbar and a three-month Xiaomi Video VIP membership.
In related news, Xiaomi has recently launched the Mijia Pressurized Steam Iron with 500kPa pressure and 135°C steam, along with a new 600L refrigerator featuring an automatic ice maker and dual cooling system.
