Xiaomi has expanded its tentacles to the UK Fire TV market with the unveiling of the Xiaomi F2 fire TV. Xiaomi’s Fire TVs are based on the Amazon platform and will come in three sizes – 43 inches, 50 inches, and 55 inches.

The Xiaomi TV F2 fire TV comes at an introductory price starting at £339 ($427) and is listed on Amazon. The Xiaomi F2 Fire TV models will revert to their original prices after the first week in the UK. After the discount window is closed, the Xiaomi Fire TVs will sell between £399 (~$502) and £499 (~$628).

There had been challenges from manufacturers to break into the Fire TV architecture due to its Android-based restrictions. The Android Compatibility Commitment made it difficult for hardware providers to build similar devices that could be floated on Google Play. There were anti-trust issues raised against Google in this regard previously.

The three TVs come well-kitted for their stated discounted prices. They offer 4K resolution as well as HDR 10. They come with HDMI and USB ports and also support Bluetooth connectivity. The panel configuration makes the Xiaomi F2 a great device for gaming via a console. This should however be at a less intense pace with its 60 FPS rating.

As highlighted earlier, the Xiaomi F2 Fire TV is based on Amazon’s Fire TV platform. Google TV is one of the other foremost proprietary solutions in this regard. It does not require an Amazon account to deploy all the features available on the TV. It supports Amazon Alexa Voice Assistant. The Xiaomi F2 Fire TV models come with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage. The TV’s capacity is just enough to install streaming services and is on the lower end of the spectrum.
