After nearly a week of teasers, Xiaomi has officially announced the next generation models in its Mi TV 3S lineup. This includes the company’s first Curved TV, namely the Mi TV 3S 65″ Curve. Apart from being curved, the TV boasts of being super thin, with a body that is just 5.9mm thin. In comparison, the company’s thinnest smartphone, namely the Mi Note is thicker than this TV  with a 6.95mm body.

The Mi TV 3S 65″ Curve is using Samsung’s 65-inch curved display panel with 178 degrees wide viewing angles. The glass thickness is just 0.4mm which is then integrated with the high-strength ultra-thin metal plate to achieve this level of thickness.

Inside, the new Mi TV 3S Curve comes with a Mstar 6A928 flagship TV processor which is a quad-core chip powered by A17 cores and clocked at 1.4GHz. For GPU, it uses the Mali-T760MP8. The TV supports 10-bit H.265 4K/ 60 fps hardware decoding and 802.11 ac 2×2 dual channel Wi-Fi.

There will be 2GB of DDR3 RAM on board along with 8GB of eMMC 5.0 storage. The Mi TV 3S 65″ Curve comes with the Mi TV Bar with independent 6-piece sound system. You also get Dolby and DTS audio dual decoding on the device.

Now coming to the pricing, Xiaomi has surprisingly priced it at 8999 Yuan ($1385). In comparison, the curved TV offering from LeEco which was launched late last year retails at 6999 Yuan ($1077), which is almost $300 less than this figure. However, we have to add that this curved TV from LeEco is not yet available for purchase. On the other hand, the Xiaomi Mi TV 3S 65″ Curve will go on sale pretty soon on March 31 via the company’s official website.

Xiaomi’s Mi TV range is quite popular in China, mainly because they are big and cheap. Now, the company has just confirmed that it will be soon releasing it’s first curved screen TV in China. So, Xiaomi fans in China have one more reason to rejoice.

This is not the first time we are hearing about a curved screen Mi TV 3 from Xiaomi. Yesterday, Xiaomi had released a new teaser via Weibo which revealed a few numbers in the series of Pi. This was a big hint that the upcoming TV from Xiaomi was going to be a curved one.

Previously, two new Xiaomi Mi TV models were spotted on the 3C quality certification website, one featuring a 65-inch display and the other with a 43-inch display. It is said that the Mi TV model with the larger 65-inch display could be the curved screen model. On the other hand, the 43-inch one could be the successor to the existing 40-inch screen model.

Now, if you remember, Xiaomi’s direct rival in the smart TV segment, LeTV (now LeEco) has a curved screen TV under its name. The Super 4 Max65 Curved Commemorative Engineering Edition was the world’s first curved screen split TV and was released back in December last year. The TV comes with Samsung’s 4K ultra-thin curved panel along with Snapdragon 810 under its hood, making it a true entertainment hub. The TV is priced at 6999 Yuan ($1075) but it’s still to be readily available for purchase to consumers.

If Xiaomi prices the TV lower than this figure and manages to make it available for sale pretty soon, then the upcoming curved screen Mi TV could be popular as well.

Well, there’s still 7 days to go till the launch of the first curved screen TV from the company. However, since Xiaomi seems to be keen on teasing the device before it’s release on March 23, we can expect some more information in the coming days. So, stay tuned.
