Alongside the Mi Band 4, Xiaomi has also launched three new Mi TVs at its Smart Living 2020 event in Bengaluru. It’s after quite a long time that Xiaomi has refreshed its Mi TV portfolio, which saw its latest addition, i.e 55-inch Mi TV 4X Pro, back in January of this year. Well, Xiaomi is not only fixing its Mi TV nomenclature with today’s launch, but also adding three new 4K Mi TVs to its portfolio.
Before we delve into the specification, I would like to say that Xiaomi is now streamlining its Mi TV naming scheme. It has dropped both the ‘LED’ and ‘Pro’ monikers from the official names and will now continue with two lineups – the budget Mi TV 4A and premium Mi TV 4X going forward.
The Mi TV 4X lineup runs Android 9 Pie-based Android TV, with Xiaomi’s custom Patchwall launcher on top. You can switch between the stock Android TV and Patchwall launcher via the remote. Patchwall 2.0 brings along a new light theme, a smaller carousel up-top, and live news TV channels – currently four in number, but more to be added in the future.
Apart from the three new premium Mi TV 4X models, Xiaomi has also launched a 40-inch Mi TV 4A at its launch event. It fills the gap between the company’s most 32-inch and 43-inch bracket, offering a Full-HD panel, 20W speaker with DTS-HD support, and Patchwall 2.0 with Android 9 Pie on board. Also, the black color variant of the Mi Soundbar has also been unveiled today at the same Rs 4,999 price tag.
The new Mi TV 4X lineup has been priced starting at Rs. 24,999 for the 43-inch 4K variant (which sits right between the 43-inch Full-HD and 50-inch 4K TVs), whereas you’ll have to shell out Rs 29,999 for the bigger 50-inch and Rs 54,999 for the 65-inch variants respectively.
