Earlier today, Xiaomi India announced the Redmi Note 10 series in the country. A total of three smartphones were unveiled, namely Redmi Note 10, Redmi Note 10 Pro, Redmi Note 10 Pro Max. At the end of the event, the company also teased the arrival of Redmi TVs in the country.

Xiaomi has been selling smart TVs in India with ‘Mi TV’ branding since early 2018. Right now, it is the country’s largest smart television brand. The firm offers a wide variety of TV models at different price segments.

Similarly, Redmi, the sub-brand of Xiaomi introduced its TV models in China after becoming an independent brand. The brand also sells other ecosystem products, including a washing machine. Its products are cheaper than Xiaomi’s Mi-branded models.

Slowly and steadily, Redmi started bringing its products to global markets, especially India. Some of the notable ones are Redmi Band, Redmi Earphones, Redmi Earbuds 2C, and Redmi Power Banks.

Now, the brand has officially confirmed to release its televisions in India. The company revealed it via a short teaser video at the end of Redmi Note 10 series launch livestream.

The teaser video suggests that the upcoming Redmi smart TV for India will be a large-sized television. The brand uses the term ‘XL’ and even gives us a glimpse of the TV’s design in the said video.

Currently, Redmi sells two large-sized television models under its Redmi MAX series. They are none other than last year’s Redmi Smart TV MAX 98” and the brand-new Redmi MAX TV 86”.

But the thing is the above-mentioned TVs are too large for an average Indian household. In fact, these televisions are for niche customers even in China. They are also difficult to manufacture and their installation requires a specially trained professional.

Hence, we don’t think the company will be bringing these models. Instead, it may release the 55” or 65” variant of the Redmi Smart TV X series. Anyway, it could be a new model as well. Because most of the Mi TVs sold in India are different than those sold in China.

That said, we expect to learn more about this Redmi TV before its official launch. Lastly, although Xiaomi India has not confirmed the launch date, the television was tipped to arrive in the country in March last month.

Apart from India’s largest smartphone brand, Xiaomi is also the country’s leading smart TV brand. The Chinese tech giant entered the television market in India in early 2018. Since then, it has established itself as a prominent player in the TV segment. That said, according to a tip, Xiaomi’s sub-brand Redmi will also be launching its televisions soon.

Redmi started selling TVs after it became an independent brand in 2019. The brand’s televisions are only sold in its home country. It also entered the top 10 online TV brands list in China in August of 2020.

Unlike Xiaomi’s Mi-branded TVs, the Redmi TVs offer better specs and features at comparatively lower price tags. Also, almost all the models offered by the brand are large-sized televisions.

Now, as per Mukul Sharma (@stuflistings), a popular Indian tech influencer, Redmi may finally bring its TVs to India. He revealed that Redmi Smart TVs may launch in India as soon as March at competitive prices.

He also suggests that these TV models could be the Redmi Smart TV X series that was unveiled in May last year. For the unaware, this 4K television comes in three sizes (50-inch, 55-inch, 65-inch) and is cheaper than Mi-branded TVs with better features like a metal body, MEMC, and more.

Anyway, all the televisions released by Xiaomi in India so far are different than the models sold in China. Hence, the upcoming Redmi smart TVs could also be discrete.
