September 24 will always be remembered by fans of Xiaomi for the spectacular products that were outed by the company. Undoubtedly, the Mi MIX Alpha was the star of the day and reasons abound why it is so. Also, the company took the wraps off the Mi 9 Pro 5G and Mi TV Pro as well as a couple of other gadgets.

The Mi TV Pro is yet another spectacular product as it comes with support for 8K content. The smart TV went on sale today in China. The 55-inch model seems to be the most sought-after model as it was listed as “sold out” in a short while after the sales commenced. The other two models are still on sale.

The TV is available in three models – 43 inches, 55 inches and 65 inches. The 43-inch model is priced at CNY 1,499 ($ 210), while the 55-inch model costs CNY 2,399 ($ 337).

The post Xiaomi Mi TV Pro goes on sale in China; 55-inch model sold out in a flash appeared first on Gizmochina.

On the 24th of September, Xiaomi launched an all new lineup of 4k TVs in China that carry the ‘Mi TV Pro’ branding. The lineup consists of three different offerings that have a screen size of 43 inch, 55 inch and 65 inch. The newly launched TVs are made out of premium materials like aluminium alloy that provides them with a chic appearance.

All three TVs in the Mi TV Pro lineup have extremely narrow bezels around the display which provides them with an impressive screen-to-body ratio of 97 percent. In comparison to the top, left and right bezels; the bezel below the display is slightly thicker as it makes room for the ‘Mi’ logo.

The middle frame of the Mi Tv Pro is made out of Aluminium alloy and they have a metal base which provides for a sturdy overall build. Furthermore, Xiaomi has paid special attention to their rear as well. Even though the rear panel is made out of plastic it resembles carbon fibre weaves which further adds to their appealing design.

All three variants of the Mi TV Pro lineup feature a Quad Core 64 bit processor that has a clock speed of 1.9 GHz. According to Xiaomi, the chipset is manufactured using a 12 nm FinFET process which makes them highly power efficient. In terms of memory and storage, they boast of 2 GB of RAM and 32 GB of inbuilt storage.

As observed with Mi TVs in the past, Mi TV Pro lineup also runs on PatchWall operating system. The TVs are shipped with several video streaming services pre-installed, which include Tencent Video, Youku and VOD from iQiyi.

Other notable features of the TVs include Dolby Audio, XiaoAi assistant, voice commands and option to connect with IoT devices, to both control them and display their status. Even though they bear a 4K display, the chipset is capable enough to run 8K content smoothly.

Similar to most other offerings from the company, the members of Mi TV Pro lineup also carry a lucrative price tag which is as follows for different variants:

• 43 inch: CNY 1,499 ($ 210)
• 55 inch: CNY 2,399 ($ 337)
• 65 inch: CNY 3,399 ($ 478)

The pre-orders for the TVs in China will commence from 24th September (6 PM) and they will be available for purchase from the 27th of September. The company has not provided any details about their launch in other regions, however, that information might be revealed in the following weeks.

The post Xiaomi Mi TV Pro With Support For 8K content launched in China appeared first on Gizmochina.

Xiaomi’s bezel-less Mi TV Pro is launching on September 24 and it is going to be its sleekest yet. The TV practically has no bezels on three sides save for the chin. It will also be its first TV to support 8K decoding. It has now been officially confirmed that the TV will also feature impressive specs.

Unlike most smart TVs that come in 1GB RAM + 8GB or 2GB RAM + 16GB, Xiaomi’s Mi TV Pro will come with 32GB of storage, double that of the upcoming OnePlus TV Q1 and Motorola’s own Smart TVs.

Yesterday, Xiaomi confirmed that the TV will be powered by the 12nm Amlogic T972 64-bit processor. The processor boasts a 63% improvement in performance and a 55% reduction in power consumption.

The Amlogic T968 is currently the most powerful chipset in Amlogic’s T-series. It has four A53-cores and a Mali-T830 GPU. We are not sure if the new T972 will feature more A53 cores or switch to the more powerful A55 cores. We also expect it to come with a more powerful GPU.

The Mi TV Pro will be available in 43”, 55”, and 65” sizes. It has an anodized aluminum alloy frame, 3D carbon fiber back, and an aluminum base. On the software side, it should come with Xiaomi’s PatchWall technology and XiaoAI built-in.

Xiaomi has got a big event lined up for September 24 where a number of flagship products will be released. The Mi 9 Pro 5G and Mi Mix Alpha and then the Mi TV Pro are all expected to be announced on that day. The company has now unveiled the Mi TV Pro at one of its official stores in China with the product up for pre-order. The pre-order will run from September 15 to 24 and participants will need to deposit 100 yuan. After the device goes on sale, those who pre-order will receive a complementary Xiaomi TV speaker valued at 399 yuan.

The company made a short promotional video which shows how customers reacted to the TV when they checked out.

The Mi TV Pro is expected as the first Xiaomi TV to support 8K decoding. The TV is also coming with a full-screen, near bezel-less design as can be seen from the video. The bezels around the display are so thin you might wonder how the huge screen is held in place. Xiaomi will let us in on more details when it is launched.

Further, the TV adopts a metal base a well as a metal frame. Apart from the standout features like a full-screen design and slim metal frame, the Mi TV Pro isn’t any different from other Mi TV models but with a more premium look.

Talking about the response of fans interviewed in the video, the comments were mostly accolades for the attractive design. The fans had the opportunity of testing the TV and the software also showered praises on the new TV for the smoothness of installed apps. In our view, the ultra-thin bezels coupled with a high-resolution display will give users immersive viewing experience. The metal body gives the smart TV a premium look. The smart TV is expected to run PatchWall 2.0 based on Android Pie, delivering seamless and smooth operation. You can check out the promo video from the source link below.

The post Xiaomi’s 8K Mi TV Pro shows off its bezel-less design and metal frame in official video appeared first on Gizmochina.

Xiaomi TV general manager Li Xiaoshuang went to Weibo earlier today to detail the brand new chipset that will come in most of their new TVs. Interestingly, he says that the new Xiaomi Mi TV Pro comes with an Amlogic chip built on a 12 nanometer process. The chip was built in collaboration between the two companies, and Xiaomi seems to be proud of it.

Compared with the previous generation chipsets, Xiaomi touts that the overall performance of the new chip has improved by 63%, while the power consumption was reduced by up to 55%. Considering how the previous Xiaomi boxes and TVs already had pretty good performance, we’re eager to see how the new chipset stacks up.

It also makes a lot of sense that Xiaomi would begin preparing more powerful chipsets for their future devices. We already know that the company will be releasing their first 8K TVs, the Mi TV PRO 65-inch and 55-inch, later this month on the 24th. It only makes sense that higher resolution content streaming is going to require more power to run smoothly.

The brand new Mi TV PRO devices offered by Xiaomi will come in 55-inch and 65-inch display sizes. Now that we know the chipset it’ll run, the only pieces of the mystery left are the other specifications and the pricing of the TVs. We can assume it’ll be more expensive than the previous Mi TVs, though we’ll have to wait for the official launch for confirmation.

Xiaomi’s September 24 event is set to be a big one. Not only will we get to see the new Mi MIX flagship, but Xiaomi will also announce the Mi 9 Pro 5G and MIUI 11. But that is not all. Xiaomi will also announce a new TV line, the bezel-less Mi TV Pro. Today, it has revealed more details about the upcoming TVs.

The Mi TV Pro’s highlight is its design and Xiaomi has engraved the words “Designed By Xiaomi” in a tiny font on the right side of the frame. The TV practically has no bezels on three of its sides and boasts a high screen-to-body ratio.

The Mi TV Pro has an anodized aluminum alloy frame, an aluminum alloy base, and a 3D carbon fiber textured back.

Xiaomi has disclosed that the TV will be available in three sizes – 43”, 55”, and 65” and all three will have 4K displays. The rest of the specs are still unknown but we expect more details will surface on the days leading up to the launch.

We don’t expect the Mi Pro TVs to be cheap. However, if you are in need of a new TV, Xiaomi has a TV festival sale that will begin tomorrow and run until Saturday, September 21. The Mi TV 4A series along with some other models will be getting price cuts.

Xiaomi has confirmed recent rumors that the Mi MIX 5G and the Mi 9 Pro 5G will be unveiled on September 24 in China. Alongside the new smartphones, the company will also announce a brand new Mi TV, which is the big focus of today’s leaks. New Weibo leaks have revealed a lot of news about the new Mi TV PRO launch that will be taking place.

The brand new Mi TV PRO devices offered by Xiaomi will come in 55-inch and 65-inch display sizes. They feature some extraordinarily thin bezels, which is the exactly the case with most of the other new and recent Mi TVs. Both models seem to have the same metal chassis, which again lines up with the other recent Mi TV launches.

We’ve still no idea what the specs will look like, but we can probably expect an improvement from the current Mi TVs. The same applies to pricing, which we assume will be more expensive. For reference, the current 55-inch Mi TV costs 2999 yuan ($424), while the 65-inch costs 3999 yuan ($565). For people who pre-order the device between September 15-24 with a 100 yuan deposit, they’ll be entitled to a free 300 yuan speaker.

Since the official event date is out, expect more details on these products in the coming days. While the biggest launch at the event will probably be the Mi MIX 5G, we’re still eager to see all the other devices that will come out of it. The Mi TV PROs in particular are looking promising, and we can’t wait to see what new features and specs they bring to the table.
