As per a recent tweet from the Chinese tech giant, the new smart television will feature the Horizon Display, which is offered with minimal bezels on all sides. The company is advertising it with a bezel less design and also showcased the TV in an image poster as well. Looking at the tweet, Mi India stated that the TV would offer an “Immersive experience. Beautiful visuals. Truly a work of art.”

Unfortunately, the company refrained from mentioning any specific details and specifications regarding the upcoming product. Although, the new smart TV is likely to be similar to the Mi TV 4A Horizon Edition, which was launched back in September 2020. This model was launched in two size variants, including a 32 inch and a 43 inch variant. So, we can expect this TV to fill in the size between both models with its 40 inch display.

Both of the previously launched TVs offered more than 90 percent screen to body ratio and sported up to FHS (1920x1080px) resolution. Under the hood, the TVs housed an Amlogic Cortex A53 quad core processor with Mali 450 MP3 GPU paired with 1GB RAM and 8GB internal storage. These also ran Android Pie and shipped with Xiaomi’s PatchWall. While the pricing of the upcoming Mi TV 4A 40 is unknown, it is expected to be between the 180 to 315 US Dollar price tag that the 32 inch and 43 inch model shipped with, respectively.

Xiaomi has a great presence in the Smart TV segment in India. Accordingly, it recently announced a milestone of selling 5 million Smart TVs in the country. Weeks later, it has now hiked the prizes of its 4A, 4A Pro, and Horizon Edition Mi TVs permanently in India. All these Smart TV models have been selling for quite a while in the country. The new hike starts as low as ₹500($6.8) for the base(32-inch) model.

As reported by 91mobiles, the prices of Mi TV 4A(40-inch), 4A Pro(32-inch), Mi TV Horizon Edition(32, 43-inch) series have been hiked in India. Further, the report adds that the new prices will have an effect across all the offline retail stores in the country starting December 1. You can take a look at the entire price changes below:

Besides, looking at the table, it looks like the Mi TV 4A Pro and Horizon edition get a ₹500($6.8) hike but the Mi TV 4A 40-inch gets a ₹1,000($13.6) price hike. Subsequently, the new prices have also been updated on mi.com. Still, the company has many online offers like No Cost EMI, Mi TV Extended warranty at reduced price(varies between ₹399-₹699 according to the model).

Mi TV 4A, 4A Pro, Horizon Edition Features

However, we aren’t sure if the same offers would be available at all retail stores. Anyway,  among the models, the Mi TV 4A(40-inch) launched back in September 2019 while the Mi TV 4A Pro made its debut in Feb 2019. While both are Android 9.0 TVs and come with 20W speakers, 4A Pro has an HD display(1366×768 pixels) but 4A(40-inch) has Full HD(1920×1080 pixels) resolution.

The Horizon Edition, on the other hand, launched as successors to the 4A Pro(32), 4A Pro(43) series of TVs in 32-inch, and 43-inches. However, apart from a slimmer bezel and a few design changes, they have the same features as the 4A series.

Xiaomi India launches Mi TV 4A Horizon Edition in 32-inch and 43-inch versions. The former features an HD panel, whereas the latter comes equipped with an FHD display. These new televisions are the successors to the company’s popular models – Mi TV 4A pro 32 and 43 in the country. The only major difference between the new Mi TVs and their predecessors is slimmer bezels.

Mi TV 4A 32/43 Horizon Edition Specifications

Apart from their display and lack of S/PDIF port on the smaller variant, both the newly introduced Mi TVs for India features exact same specs.

Talking about their screens first, the smaller model sports an HD (1366 x 768 pixels) panel with 93% screen-to-body ratio, compared to  FHD (1920 x 1080 pixels) display with 95% screen-to-body ration on the larger model. According to the company, both the panels have a 178° viewing angle.

Other than that, they are powered by the same Amlogic Cortex A53 quad-core processor with Mali-450 MP3 GPU paired with 1GB RAM and 8GB internal storage. They run Android TV Pie and ship with Xiaomi’s own PathchWall content aggregation launcher. These TVs support all the leading streaming platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+ Hotstar, and more.

They also come with Chromecast Built-in, Google Assistant, and Google Data Saver. These televisions are also Xiaomi’s first Mi TVs in India to launch with Mi Quick Wake. This self-developed feature ensures quick booting of TVs (under 5 seconds). The company has been testing this feature on its older models for a few months now.

Despite the difference in their size, both feature the same 20W speakers (2 x 10W) with support for DTS-HD. Also, they come with Xiaomi’s proprietary Vivid Picture Engine, which is not a dedicated chip but display settings ensured to offer accurate colors and deeper contrasts.

For connectivity and ports, the new TV comes with single-band (2.4GHz) WiFi, Bluetooth 4.2, 3 x HDMI (one of them supports ARC), 2 x USB, 1 x Ethernet, AV, Antenna, and  3.5mm headphone jack.

Last week, Xiaomi announced to launch Mi TV Horizon Edition in India on September 7. Since then, the company has been teasing this television on social media. But now, a render as well as entire specs of this upcoming Mi TV leak revealing every important aspect of it except for the price.

The render and information about Mi TV Horizon Edition come from well-known tipster Ishan Agarwal. He has partnered with 91Mobiles for this exclusive leak.

According to him, the forthcoming Xioami smart television will come equipped with a regular 43-inch 1080p (FHD) LED-backlit LCD panel but with slimmer bezels. Since the company teases it with words like “quintessential”, it was thought to be a high-end TV with QLED panel. Unfortunately, that is not the case.

Further, the new Xiaomi Mi TV will be powered by a Cortex-A53 processor (probably an Amlogic chip) paired with 1GB RAM and 8GB internal storage. As for ports, it will come with 3 x HDMI (one of them should be ARC compatible), 2 x USB Type-A, Ethernet, and 3.5mm headphone jack.

The television will run Android TV Pie with PatchWall launcher, Chromecast Built-in, Google Assistant, and Google Data Saver. However, its 20W speakers only support DTS-HD and no Dolby Audio like other TVs from the company as well as competitors.

Having said that, we will have to wait until the official launch on September 7 to know about its price and availability.

The post A render and entire specs of Mi TV Horizon Edition leak ahead of official launch appeared first on Gizmochina.

Xiaomi recently launched Mi Box 4K (rebranded Mi Box S) and Mi TV Stick in India. Now, the company schedules an event for September 7 to launch a new smart TV with “Horizon Edition” moniker. It will be the third product from the company to carry this tag in the country after Mi Notebook 14 Horizon Edition and Horizon Display on Redmi K20/K20Pro.

The teaser page for this new Mi TV for India does not reveal any of its specs. But since the launch is set to take place two weeks from now, we expect the company to add new details regarding this product to this page in the coming days.

As of now, the said page describes this new TV for the region to offer a “sumptuous feeling” with its “quintessential display tech”. These marketing jargons make us believe that this television could come with a QLED panel instead of regular LED-backlit LCD panel. Anyway, this is just a speculation from our end so consider it with a pinch of salt.

The page also confirms it to come with PatchWall launcher,  a content aggregation service by Xiaomi and a feature called Quick Wake to instantly power on and off the TV. Further, it also indirectly reveals the TV to run Android TV operating system with words “5000+ apps to try out”. That means it should also come with Chromecast Built-in.

Talking about the elephant in the room, Xiaomi uses “Horizon” branding for higher screen to body ratio products. So we can expect this upcoming Mi TV to feature thinner bezels than other existing models in India.
