Xiaomi is India’s largest smart TV brand. The company’s television offers a unique software experience in the form of PatchWall.

Today, Xiaomi announced that it has sold over 7 million units of Mi and Redmi-branded smart TVs in India since their introduction. The sales figure from Xiaomi Data Center accounts from March 2018 to September 2021.

In a press release shared with us, Eshwar Nilakantan, Category Lead – Smart TVs, Xiaomi India, says that the company played a key role in the growth of the smart TV market in India. The segment doubled in 2021 when compared to 2018.

He also states that during the festive season sale earlier this month, the sales of the firm’s 4K TV models increased by a whopping 53 times. The company managed to sell over 100K units of televisions in less than 3 days during this period.

On the other hand, 32-inch models still remain to be the most popular as they continue to be the gateway for first-time smart TV buyers.

Above all, Xiaomi is still the leading smart TV player in India since 2018.

Apart from smartphones, Xiaomi is also known for its smart televisions. The company’s TVs are cheaper than the models offered by traditional TV brands with a similar set of features. However, that comes with a caveat in China in the form of advertisements in software.

Mi TVs and Redmi TVs in China run MIUI for TV based on Android. Whereas, in international markets, the company uses Android TV. In India, the firm’s televisions also come with PatchWall launcher, which offers one of the best user experiences on smart TVs.

Another difference is that Xiaomi does not show advertisements in global markets. On the other hand, the MIUI for TV in China throws ads as soon as the television boots up. Previously, these ads were even unskippable.

Apart from boot advertisements, MIUI for TV also shows other types of ads like banners and pop-ups. These can be frustrating when you are navigating through the UI.

Hence, during a recent Q&A session held by the Xiaomi TV team, a user asked the company to delete ads from its televisions with discontent. To this, the firm’s execs simply replied that they are working hard to balance advertising and user experience as much as possible for better service.

The statement from Xiaomi clearly suggests that it does not have plans to remove ads from its televisions in China for now. Hopefully, the company does not bring these practices to global markets.

Xiaomi has been always known for its hardware, however, the same cannot be said about its software. MIUI was one of the best Android skins in the past. But in recent years, its quality has degraded due to bugs, optimizations, advertisements, and slower update delivery.

With growing international presence and competition, Xiaomi surely needs to up its game in the software department. Fortunately, the company has already started working on it by promising three OS updates and four years of security patches for the upcoming Xiaomi 11T series.

Xiaomi has confirmed to launch the Mi TV 5X in India at the Smarter Living 2022 event on August 26. Ahead of that, the company has been teasing the features of this television. Just a day ahead of the TV’s official announcement, the firm has revealed yet another key feature.

According to the latest teaser by Mi TV social media handles, the upcoming Mi TV 5X will have HDMI 2.1 ports with support for ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode). In other words, the new TV will be similar to the Redmi Smart TV X in terms of ports.

Further, Xiaomi is also partnering with IMDB for its televisions. We think the company will be announcing the integration of IMDB with PatchWall. With this, users will be able to learn more about the content. Anyway, this is just a wild guess from our end. Probably, the partnership could be for something else.

As per previous teasers, the Mi TV 5X for India will sport a metal frame. The television will come equipped with 40W speakers with support for Dolby Audio. It will also have far-field microphones for accessing Google Assistant.

Last but not least, the Xiaomi Mi TV 5X is said to come with a future-ready chipset and memory. Unfortunately, the exact SoC and the amount of RAM are a mystery for now.

Xiaomi will be holding its ‘Smarter Living 2022’ event in India on August 26. The company is expected to announce a number of ecosystem products at this conference. The firm has been teasing these devices for the past few days. As per new teasers, one of these products will be Mi TV 5X.

Xiaomi introduced the Mi TV series in India in early 2018. Since then, the company has been releasing new models with Mi TV 4 branding. Thankfully, that’s going to finally change with the launch of Mi TV 5X on August 26.

As per the landing page on Mi.com, the Mi TV 5X will feature metal frames with a bezel-less design. The television will come with Dolby sound and picture preset that’s responsive to the environment. That latter feature suggests that the TV might sport an ambient light sensor.

Further, the new Mi TV is said to arrive with ‘future-ready’ chipset and memory along with far-field microphones. Last but not least, the latest Xiaomi television is also teased to debut a new version of PatchWall.

Unfortunately, nothing else is known about the upcoming Xiaomi Mi TV 5X, apart from the above-mentioned features and design renders shared by the company officially on its website and social media handles.

Other than Mi TV 5X, Xiaomi has also confirmed to launch the Mi Band 6, a Mi Notebook, a new WiFi router, a security camera, and more in India at the Smarter Living 2022 event, which has been scheduled for August 26.

Xiaomi India has scheduled its Smarter Living 2022 event for August 26 at 12 PM. For those who don’t know, ‘Smarter Living’ is the Chinese tech giant’s annual launch event in India to unveil a bunch of ecosystem products. That said, though the company has just begun to tease this year’s edition, it has already revealed some of the products that will be announced next week.

According to exclusive resorts by Moneycontrol and India Today, Xiaomi has confirmed to launch a high-end WiFi router, a security camera, Mi Band 6, and a Mi Notebook at the ‘Smarter Living 2022’ event in India on August 26.

As a whole, the company is said to announce 5-6 products across entertainment, connectivity, and security categories. Unfortunately, though the firm has revealed four products, we have very few details about them, except for the Mi Band 6, which is being sold in multiple markets for months now.

As of now, Xiaomi has only confirmed that the upcoming Mi Notebook model will not only have a backlit keyboard but also a built-in webcam. These two features are not present on the Mi Notebook 14 and Mi Notebook 14 Horizon Edition released last year.

Further, the official Mi TV India is also teasing a product. Hence, we can expect either new Mi TV models or a Mi TV streaming device. Other than that, Xiaomi has confirmed India Today that the firm will also launch a new pair of truly wireless earphones but at a later date.

Since we are more than a week away from Xiaomi Smarter Living 2022 event, we expect the company to tease the products leading up to the day of their launch.

Xiaomi is the leading smartphone as well as smart TV brand in India. The company is known for its affordable products in the country. But lately, the firm has been hiking the price of some of its devices. As per a new report, Xiaomi may once again increment the price of its Mi TVs and Redmi TVs in the country.

ET Telecom reports that Xiaomi is expected to hike the price of smart televisions in India by 4-6% from July. For those unaware, companies have been increasing the price of TVs in the country since the beginning of this year.

According to the publication, the upcoming TV price hike by various brands will be the third round in the last six months. Companies have already increased the price of their televisions by 10-12%. The year 2021 marks the highest price hike of televisions in a single year.

The main reason for the increase in TV price is due to the prolonged shortage of ‘Open Cell’ (panel) globally. ‘Open Cell’ accounts for almost 70% of the cost of a television. India mostly imports them from China and Vietnam.

Recently, Xiaomi hiked the price of the Redmi Note 10 in the country for the third time. This was due to the increase in the price of supplies. As per industry experts, the cost of chipsets, battery packs, and others (camera modules, sensors) have increased by 20%, 10%, and 5% respectively.

Lastly, as per Debasish Jana, research analyst at Counterpoint Research, If this trend continues, it may affect demand in India as a result of the country’s economic situation caused by the second wave of COVID-19.

Xiaomi Mi TV Webcam Specifications and Features

The newly announced Mi TV Webcam is the same as the OnePlus TV Camera. This accessory is an ODM product made by Seevo. Therefore, the sole difference between the two is branding.

The device sports a 2MP sensor with support for 1080p (FHD) video streaming at 25fps. It has a 71° FOV (field of view) and is limited to fixed focus. The sensor supports image 3D image noise reduction and it can be covered using a built-in privacy shutter when not in use.

Further, the device comes with dual stereo microphones. Xiaomi claims that these far-field mics can pick up noise from 4m away. Hence, it works well with Google Duo.

The accessory can be used with smart TVs running Android TV 8 Oreo or above and computers with both Windows as well as macOS. It uses a USB Type-C for connection. A 1.5m USB Type-A to USB Type-C cable is included in the package.

Last but not least, the Mi TV Webcam features a metal build and an adjustable magnetic bracket. It measures 80 x 35 x 67mm in dimensions and weighs 45.6g.

Xiaomi has been selling smart TVs in India since 2018. However, the company does not offer a single accessory for any of its televisions. Over three years later, the Chinese tech giant is finally set to introduce its first accessory for its smart TVs in the form of Mi TV Webcam.

Xiaomi has officially confirmed to launch Mi TV Webcam in India on June 24. The company has even revealed some of its features. Additionally, everything about this product has also been exposed by a tipster.

According to Xiaomi, the upcoming Mi TV Webcam will support Full HD (1080p) video streaming. The accessory will sport dual far-field microphones with 3D noise reduction technology.  Lastly, it will have a clip for sturdy grip and a camera shutter for privacy.

Further, as per Yogesh, this accessory is the same as the OnePlus TV Camera. It is an ODM product made by Seevo. The only difference between the two is the branding on the privacy shutter. 

Hence, the remaining features include a USB Type-C port, magnetic clip for attachment, and support for Google Duo. But unfortunately, the compatible Mi TV and Redmi TV models are a mystery as of now.

Last but not least, the leakster says that the product will retail for under ₹2,500 in India. For comparison, the OnePlus TV Camera costs ₹2,499.

Last year, Xiaomi launched its first-ever OLED smart TV called Mi TV Master Series 65-inch OLED. This television is also known as Mi TV LUX 65” OLED. Eleven months after its announcement, the company appears to be teasing yet another OLED TV.

Last Friday, Pan Jun, the General Manager of Xiaomi TV, shared a picture showcasing two different televisions in dark on Weibo. In the description of the post, he mentioned that one of the televisions in the image is a new Mi TV, whereas the other is a highly-rated TV (he did not mention the brand). He asked his followers to choose the better one out of the two.

The picture shared by the company executive does not justify the picture quality of the two televisions. It is a known fact that the quality of TV panels cannot be judged from images and videos. One needs to experience in person in order to draw a conclusion.

Hence, this Weibo post by Pan Jun is nothing but part of marketing to tease the arrival of a new Xiaomi Mi TV. The company is yet to officially reveal anything about this television, however, a reliable leaker has some idea about this product.

According to Digital Chat Station, the upcoming Mi TV will be using an OLED panel. However, he did not reveal the size. But he did hint at the television’s price.  

As per the tipster, the forthcoming Xiaomi OLED TV could be slightly expensive due to chip shortage and a hike in TV panel prices. But he does say that the company will help in making Mini LED and OLED televisions accessible to more consumers by bringing down the price with its new products.

In September 2020, Xiaomi introduced Mi TV 4A Horizon Edition in India. The company has been selling only two sizes (32-inch, 43-inch) since the debut of this series. Now, almost nine months later, the firm finally releases a new 40-inch variant for customers looking for a smaller TV than the 43-inch model.

Xiaomi Mi TV 4A 40 Horizon Edition Specifications and Features

The newly launched Xiaomi Mi TV 4A 40 Horizon Edition has the exact same set of specs as the 43-inch variant. The only difference is the size of the display panel.

This new television flaunts a 40-inch LED-backlit LCD panel with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels (FHD), 60Hz refresh rate, 178° viewing angle, and 9.5ms typical response time. The TV has minimal bezels all around except for the chin.

It is powered by a 64-bit Amlogic chipset consisting of 4 x ARM Cortex-A53 CPU cores and ARM Mali-450 MP3 GPU. This SoC is coupled with mere 1GB RAM and 8GB internal storage.

The television runs the outdated Android TV Pie operating system with PatchWall content aggregation service. It supports all the leading streaming apps (25+), Mi Quick Wake feature (faster booting time), Mi Home app, and Vivid Picture Engine (Xiaomi’s proprietary color profile). The TV also comes with Chromecast Built-in, Google Play Store, and Google Assistant.

As for audio, the television features 2 x 10W (20W) speakers with support for DTS-HD. Lastly, on the connectivity and ports front, the Xiaomi Mi TV 4A 40 Horizon Edition sports single-band WiFi, Bluetooth 4.2, 3 x HDMI (one of them is ARC compatible), 2 x USB 2.0, AV (mini), Antenna, S/PDIF, 3.5mm headphone jack, and Ethernet.

Xiaomi Mi TV 4A 40 Horizon Edition Price and Availability in India

The Xiaomi Mi TV 4A 40 Horizon Edition is priced at ₹23,999 in India. For comparison, the 32-inch and the 43-inch variants now cost ₹15,999 and ₹25,999 after a price hike earlier this year.

While Xiaomi hasn’t explicitly confirmed which TV is coming, its “Grand Cinematic experience from the comfort of your home” makes us think if it would be the Mi TV Q1 75-inch that launched in Europe back in February.

QLED TV from Xiaomi isn’t new to India. The company has already launched a 55-inch variant of the TV back in December. The Q1 75-inch would fit in the perfect phrase of “theatre of tomorrow” considering its size is about a 36% increase compared to the 55-inch.

That said, let’s wait for an official confirmation regarding the name and the launch date from the company itself. The Mi TV Q1 75-inch in Europe has the QLED 4K display panel that covers 100% NTSC color gamut, has up to 1.07 billion colors and 1,024 different color shades.
