Xiaomi’s Android TVs generally have a similar remote. Agree, there are usually slight differences such as extra buttons for certain streaming services. However, the remote that ships with the new Mi TV P1 series announced today is entirely different.

The new Bluetooth Mi TV remote is not only longer than any of the other Mi TV remotes Xiaomi has released in the past but also has more buttons.

As seen in the image above, the remote now has a number pad that occupies the upper part of the remote. There are also buttons for Teletext, Info, Channel List, Input, and Set.

Like some other Xiaomi Mi TV remotes, this one also has a power button, a Google Assistant button, a circular navigation pad, dedicated buttons for Netflix and Prime Video, and buttons for volume control, return/back, and home. There is also an Exit button, another for mute, buttons to switch between channels, and the common Red, Green, Yellow, and Blue buttons that are present on several TV remotes.

if you are wondering why Xiaomi has added these buttons, we believe it is because the Mi TV P1 has a CI slot for a Condition Access Module (CAM) for satellite television and also has support for DVB-T2/C and DVB-S2. If you use any of these and not just Android TV, then these additional buttons are necessary to have on a TV remote.

Xiaomi has launched the Mi TV P1 series in Italy. These televisions were announced alongside Mi 11 Ultra, Mi 11i, Redmi Note 10 5G, and Redmi Note 10S. Since we already know about these smartphones, let us take an extensive look at the smart TVs instead.

Xiaomi Mi TV P1 Specifications and Features

The newly launched Xiaomi Mi TV P1 series comes in four sizes – 32-inch, 43-inch, 50-inch, and 55-inch. These televisions flaunt a regular LED-backlit LCD panel.

Further, the panel on these TVs supports 1.07 billion colors (8-Bit + FRC), Dolby Vision, HDR10+, HLG, and MEMC. This screen covers 88% and 94% of NTSC and DCI-P3 color gamuts respectively.

As for audio, the Mi TV P1 4K variants sport 2 x 10W (20W) speakers with support for Dolby Audio and DTS-HD. On the connectivity and ports front, they feature dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth 5.0, 1 x HDMI 2.0, 1 x HDMI 2.1 (eARC, VRR), 1 x HDMI (CEC), 2 x USB 2.0, AV composite, Ethernet, optical port, 3.5mm headphone jack, antenna port (DVB-T2/C, DVB-S2), and CI Slot.
