The TVs support almost all the popular streaming services (25+), Chromecast Built-in, Google Assistant, and even ships with the Mi Home app (for the first time in India) to manage Xiaomi smart products.

Xiaomi India has entered the premium smart TV category with the launch of Mi QLED TV 4K 55. The newly unveiled Mi TV is the company’s first QLED television for the country. Initially, it was thought to be the Mi TV 5 Pro that the brand introduced in China last year. But then, the company itself confirmed that the model launching in India will be different. Let us take a look at the specs, features, and price of this new television.

Xiaomi Mi QLED TV 4K 55 Specifications and Features

As the name suggests, the new Xiaomi television flaunts a 55-inch QLED panel with a resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels (4K), 100% NTSC color gamut, 95% DCI-P3 color gamut, and 96% screen-to-body ratio. The panel supports all the popular HDR standards such as Dolby Vision, HDR10+, HDR10, and HLG. But unfortunately, the display does not come with the local-dimming feature.

Further, the TV also supports RealityFlow (MEMC) and Vivid Picture Engine (proprietary display profile tweak). As an added bonus, the television comes with a metal frame, carbon fiber back, and metal stands. However, the wall mount is sold separately. The regular variant costs ₹499, whereas the swivel version is priced at ₹1,199.

Xiaomi has been selling its smart TVs in India since early 2018. The company’s televisions in India except for Mi TV 4 run Android TV operating system. Additionally, they also come with a launcher called PatchWall offering content from partner streaming services. Earlier this year, Xiaomi updated it to v3.0. Now, the company is rolling out a new PatchWall 3.4 update with three new changes.

The new PatchWall update for Xiaomi Mi TVs in India arrives ahead of Diwali festive season. The company is expected to sell more televisions in this period compared to previous months. Hence, it makes sense for them to introduce new features at this time of the year.

That said, the PatchWall 3.4 update brings the following three new features to all the Mi TVs in India.

Note: We are not sure if this will be available for the forgotten Mi TV 4 but the Mi TV 4A (32” & 43”) launched alongside it have received the update.

Immersive Carousel

The first thing you notice when you launch PatchWall on Mi TVs is the carousel at the top. In the latest update, Xiaomi has tweaked it in such a way that the content in the carousel act as the background of the entire screen. Thus, the company calls it ‘Immersive Carousel’.

Though the concept is cool, certain poster in carousel does not look as background as they interfere with icons and thumbnails on the foreground.

User Centre

This new page displays all the partner OTT platforms in a single row and even includes a row dedicated to offers on subscriptions. Further, it also shows trailers and upcoming movies/TVs.

Xiaomi says that users will be also able to access a universal watchlist comprising of content from partner streaming services.

Live TV

As the name suggests, this page shows all the available live TV channels. The company says it will be adding more channels in the coming days.

Having said that, the PatchWall updates on Mi TVs are an automated process but still roll out in batches. They occur in the background when connected to the internet.

Hence, if you own a Mi TV in India and your television is always connected to the internet, then you should have received the update.

If you own a smart TV powered by Android TV, then you are definitely displeased with Android TV’s lack of multi-user accounts. This means there is only one interface and contents for adults and kids are displayed together. Xiaomi has announced a solution called Kids Mode for its PatchWall interface that ships with its smart TVs.

The new Kids Mode allows for a separate interface for your little ones when you turn on your smart TV. Below is a list of the features that come with the new Kids Mode:

• Parental Lock
• Safe Universal Search
• Smart Curation
• Free Educational Content

Mi Fans, we launched "Kids Mode" on Patchwall! One of the most requested feature since OTT in India is not censored! With Kids mode, you get
1. Kids Mode with Parental Lock
2. Safe Universal Search
3. Smart Curation
4. Free Edu content

There is no info on the roll-out, so we have no idea if this is a feature rolling out to certain models or in certain regions. However, if you own a Xiaomi Smart TV, you should check if you have an update available. Do let us know in the comment box when you get the feature.

The Xiaomi Mi TV 4 55″ launched in India in early 2018 as the world’s thinnest TV at 4.9mm thickness. The company even advertised it to be thinner than a coin. Priced at ₹39,999 (increased to ₹44,999), it was the most expensive product from the brand for the Indian market at that time. But the TV was left out for Android TV update, which is even available for cheaper models launched alongside it. But now, it seems like the update is indeed coming for this model after over 2 years from its release.

Customer service reveals Android TV update for Mi TV 4 55″

A user shared the screenshot of his chat with Xiaomi India Customer Service. He asked if the Mi TV 4 55″ would receive Android TV update. To his surprise, the executive replied the developers on working on it and will be rolling out in phases after testing.

Hearing this, the user was puzzled and asked if the executive is really talking about Mi TV 4 55″ since most of the users have lost hope. To this, the executive simply replied ‘Yes’ confirming the fact from his side.

Anyway, we would like you to take this information with a pinch of salt. Because information from customer service executives is always not accurate.

Sub-standard software support for Mi TVs in India

Xiaomi entered the smart TV market of India with the launch of Mi TV 4 55″ and Mi TV 4A 43″ / 32″ in early 2018. These TVs ran AOSP Android with PatchWall interface on top of it for content aggregation.

Later, in the same year, the company launched new TV models powered by Android TV platform with support for Google services like Play Store, Chromecast, YouTube, and Google Assistant. During the launch, Xiaomi promised to update Mi TV 4A 43″ and 32″ to this new platform but did not even mention the premium Mi TV 4 55″.

Users have been requesting for updates for over two years on Twitter and Mi Community. But the company’s executives don’t pay heed to their tweets or community threads.

On the other hand, the update for Mi TV 4A 43″ / 32″ was delayed for over a year and was only rolled out in late 2019. That too, with a lot of bugs like the buzzing of speakers in lower volume levels. Above all, these TVs still don’t support Netflix.

Xiaomi sells a number of products in India including a range of smart TVs. After turning the smartphone market upside down, the Chinese tech company also revolutionized the smart TV market in the country by introducing its lineup of smart Mi LED TVs in March 2018. Since then, the company has launched multiple models and has even improved its content aggregation launcher called PatchWall, which is now receiving its v3.0 update with Disney+ Hotstar integration and much more.

PatchWall 3.0

Earlier in September 2019, Xiaomi introduced PatchWall 2.0 UI when it launched the new range of 4K TVs in India. The new update brought content integration from Amazon Prime Video and even Netflix made its way to a plethora of Mi TVs excluding the first three models, which launched with an AOSP build of Android TV-certified OS.

Fast forward six months, the company is now rolling out Patchwall 3.0 update to all of its smart TVs running Android tvs such as Mi TV 4A, Mi TV 4C Pro, Mi TV 4A Pro, Mi TV 4 Pro, Mi TV 4X, and Mi TV 4X Pro. Anyway, do note that the new update will not pop-up right away as it is being seeded out in a phased manner. 

The new features of Patchwall 3.0 include Disney+ Hotstar integration with a dedicated page for Sports and Disney content. Further, the update also adds two new content partners namely Docubay and Lattu Kids. Other changes include Mi Lanting Pro font from MIUI 11, horizontal scrolling in lists, cleaner animations, and more.
