Xiaomi,
on Monday, unveiled the Mi TV 3, a 60-inch TV with 4K display at a
price point of RMB 4,999 ($780). Much like the Mi TV 2 and previous
generation television sets from the company, the Mi TV 3 has been
launched in the company's home market China. Not before the news
coverage of the Xiaomi Mi5 phone.
The Mi TV 3 sports an LG-made 60-inch 4K display with lossless
quality, MEMC, and color gamut. The display comes with full aluminum
frame running along the sides. At 11.6mm, the Mi TV 3 is pretty sleek
too. It is powered by a MStar 6A928 processor consisting of Cortex-A17
and Mali T760 GPU. An 8GB eMMC 5.0 flash is used as the internal
storage.
On the connectivity side, there are three HDMI ports, two USB ports, one
VGA port, one Ethernet port, one AV in, an output for Subwoofer, and a
standard RF Modulator. On the audio front, the Mi TV 3 features Virtual
Surround technology, deeper bass, and dialogue enhance tool with auto
volume balance support.
Although the Mi TV Bar might sound like just another set-top box, I'd
argue that this is actually a significant change. First, by decoupling
the smart TV “brains” from the screen, Xiaomi is looking to get its
smart TV system in front of more users – even if those users are
connecting it to smaller screens, or screens from other vendors. Second,
by combining the Mi TV Bar's smart brains with a powerful speaker,
Xiaomi is offering a product that theoretically makes the smart TV
experience portable (or at least more portable than a big TV). You can
get a smart TV experience and big-screen-quality sound from any screen
you plug the Mi TV Bar into.
The Mi TV 3, much like previous Mi TV sets, has been debuted in China.
At this point, there is no word on its international availability. But
considering the company plans to sell some of its products in the United
States and select other regions and has already expanded its base
market outside China, there is a good chance that Xiaomi Device might someday become available at your place.
