After launching the Mi TV 4 last month, Xiaomi today launched two smaller versions of its flagship model. Dubbed as the Mi TV 4A, it will be available in two sizes;
- 32 Inches
- 43 Inches
The Mi TV 4 is a 55-inch television. With the two new TVs, Xiaomi is offering more options to potential customers who are in the market for smaller screens. Like their bigger brother, both the new models are Smart TVs and are powered by the same Made-for-India PatchWall UI.
With these two new launches, Xiaomi now has three options to offer in the Smart Television segment.
Xiaomi 43-Inch Mi TV 4A: Specifications & Features
The Xiaomi Mi TV 4A’s 43-inch version features a full-HD LED display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. The display has a wide 178-degree viewing angle and 60Hz refresh rate. At its heart is a quad-core Amlogic processor that is paired with a Mali-T450 GPU. It gets 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage.
The 43-inch Mi TV 4A is richly endowed in the connectivity department. Connectivity includes;
- W-Fi
- 3 HDMI Ports with 1 ARC Port
- 3 USB 2.0 Ports
- 1 Ethernet Port
- 1 AV Component Port
- 1 S/PDIF Port
- 1 Antenna Port
- 3.5mm Headphone Jack
Xiaomi claims to have optimised the audio performance for India to deliver louder, clearer volume. It features two 10W speakers and DTS-HD support, which Xiaomi says will augment the television’s audio experience. The TV will be shipped with an 11-button Mi Remote that can control the set-top box, using the Mi IR cable, and will also support voice control features with future updates.
Xiaomi 32-Inch Mi TV 4A: Specifications & Features
The 32-inch version of the Mi TV 4A sports an HD LED display with a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels. Like its bigger brother, this display also supports the wide 178-degree viewing angle as well as the 60Hz refresh rate. At its heart beats the same quad-core Amlogic processor coupled with 1GB RAM and 8GB storage.
The 32-inch Mi TV 4A is no slouch in the connectivity department either. Its connectivity options include;
- W-Fi
- 3 HDMI Ports with 1 ARC Port
- 2 USB 2.0 Ports
- 1 Ethernet Port
- 1 AV Component Port
- 1 Antenna Port
It carries the same audio optimisations as the bigger version with two 10W speakers and DTS-HD support. The supplied remote control is the same 11-button one supplied with the bigger model and has the same capabilities.
Xiaomi Mi TV 4A: Pricing And Launch Offers
The best part of all Xiaomi products is the pricing. Nobody can match Xiaomi on the price-to-features ratio in the Indian market. This is now true for their TVs as well. The Mi TV 4 created much buzz with its ridiculous price of Rs 39,999/-. The younger siblings are no different.
In India, the 43-inch Mi TV 4A will be available at Rs 22,999/- and the 32-inch Mi TV 4A is priced at Rs 13,999/-! To put these prices in perspective, Xiaomi’s own new smartphone, the Note 5 Pro is available at Rs 13,999/-! And both the new models are Smart TVs! Now that’s unbeatable value for money!
The Mi TV 4A will be available to buy from March 13 on Flipkart, mi.com and Xiaomi’s Mi Home Stores across India. Though Xiaomi will still follow their dreaded and much-hated flash sales model, they have promised adequate stocks and more frequent sales to meet with the seemingly insatiable demand for Xiaomi’s products. They will now be holding two sales a week on every Tuesday and Friday after the initial sale happens.
The built-in PatchWall UI offers over 500,00 hours of Indian and international content of which 80% will be free to stream. For content, Xiaomi has partnered with Hotstar, Voot, Voot Kids, Sony Liv, Hungama Play, Zee5, Sun NXT, ALT Balaji, Viu, TVF, and Flickstree, with Hungama Originals, soon joining the list. Users buying either of these TVs along with a JioFi connection will get an instant cashback of Rs 2,200/-.
Now if only Xiaomi gets their supply sorted and do away with the silly flash sales, they can revolutionize the TV market like they have done with the smartphone market.
