Yesterday, Xiaomi launched the Xiaomi Smart Band 7 (aka Mi Band 7, Xiaomi Band 7) for European markets. At the event, the company also announced three more products. One of them was the Xiaomi TV A2 series. Let’s take a look at this new smart TV range from the firm.

Xiaomi TV A2 Series Specifications

At the end of May, Xiaomi debuted the Xiaomi TV F2 series running Amazon’s Fire OS with the Fire TV interface. Less than a month later, the company has now introduced the Xiaomi TV A2 series with the Android TV operating system.

The Xiaomi TV A2 lineup comes in four sizes, such as 32-inch, 43-inch, 50-inch, and 55-inch. Whereas, the Xiaomi TV F2 family arrives in three sizes as it is not offered in a 32-inch variant.

All the size versions sport an LED-backlit LCD panel. Other than the 32-inch model which has an HD-ready (1366 x 768 pixels), the remaining variants flaunt a 4K (3840 x 2160) canvas.

All of them have a 60Hz refresh rate and a 178° viewing angle. However, the 4K models also carry support for 10-bit color depth, MEMC, HDR10, HLG, and Dolby Vision.

They are powered by a quad-core chipset featuring ARM Cortex-A55 cores. But the 32-inch variant has an inferior ARM Mali G31 MP2 GPU instead of ARM Mali G52 MP2 like other models.

Further, all of them feature a unibody design with a metal frame. They come with Bluetooth 5.0, 2 x USB 2.0, AV composite, optical audio port, 3.5mm headphone jack, and CI slot. The 4K models offer 3 x HDMI (1 x eARC) and dual-band WiF but the HD model comes with 2 X HDMI (1 x eARC), DTMB port, and single-band WiFi.

Though all of them carry support for Dolby Audio and DTS HD, the 32-inch model houses 2 x 10W speakers instead of 2 x 12W speakers like the others. Anyway, all variants come with Google Assistant (via remote control), Chromecast Built-in, Miracast, and support for leading streaming platforms.

Xiaomi TV A2 Series Price and Availability

Xiaomi has only revealed the price of the 55-inch variant so far. This version of the Xiaomi TV A2 will retail at €529 in Europe. There’s no official word on availability yet.

On the other hand, the smaller models should cost below the aforementioned price tag.

The much-hyped Nothing Phone (1) will be unveiled at an event on Tuesday 12 July called Return to Instinct. Ahead of the imminent launch, Phone (1) has received TUV SUD safety certification. Moreover, a screenshot of Flipkart code has also been leaked which suggests the listing of the smartphone’s accessories. We know very little about the actual hardware specs for the handset. However, its design and appearance are revealed by the company.

A tweet by popular tipster Mukul Sharma suggests that the Nothing Phone (1) has been listed on the TUV SUD certification platform with model number A063. Sharma also shared a screenshot of the Flipkart code which reveals that the accessories of the Phone (1) will be available for sale on Flipkart. The TUV SUD certification did not reveal any new information about the smartphone.

As mentioned, The Nothing Phone (1) will be launched on July 12 in London. A recent video by Youtuber Marques Brownlee gave us a good look at how this phone is going to try and stand out. The video revealed the front of the Phone which shows the Phone has a punch-hole placed at the upper-left corner of the display.

A screengrab from
MKBHD’s Nothing Phone (1) hands-on

The front of the smartphone is “nothing” special. However, the back sure does look interesting. You can’t view the hardware components as we’ve seen in previous HTC or Xiaomi phones but it does have some elements of translucency.

The smartphone has LED lights on the back which I personally found very cool. The lights are called “Glyph Interface” and they come with loads of customization options. For example, you can customize it to glow with the beat of the ringtone. Read more about it here.

The LED lights and transparent design are compelling features but the success of the smartphone will depend on its hardware and performance.
