This is an updated post which now includes an eyes on video of the Xiaomi TV. After announcing the
Xiaomi Mi3,
Lei Jun went on to
launch the 47-inch Xiaomi
Android TV at an amazing $490!
Once the
Mi3 launch was out of the way, Xiaomi CEO
Lei Jun asked the crowd what we thought would be next. The choices being a Xiaomi laptop, Xiaomi tablet, Xiaomi
TV or Xiaomi games
console, obviously the next device was the
TV.
The Xiaomi
TV is a 47-inch
TV using a LG/Samsung display offering great all round viewing angles and the choice of either 2D or
3D visuals (using
3D glasses). The
TV runs a similar Android based system as the Xiaomi box which was
launched last year, but due to a powerful
Snapdragon 600 CPU is much fast and smoother in use.
We got some eyes on time with the Xiaomi TV, with both the standard silver model and yellow version, but blue purple and green options will also be
on sale soon. For a 2999 Yuan
TV it is amazing, and we would think it as a bargain if it were priced at twice as much!
A nearly borderless design and narrow profile really improve the look of the large TV, and the Dolby stereo sound is much better than you would expect at this price.

Mi3 the Xiaomi
TV will go
