Redmi Smart TV X Series launched in India starting at Rs 32,999: Specs, features, price and everything to know

Redmi launched its first smart TV in India on Wednesday at a starting price of Rs 32,999. The idea is clearly to offer a Mi TV-like experience at an even more affordable pricing, and it is safe to say that the first batch of Redmi TVs do look promising. As expected, Redmi is launching a new Redmi “series” aka Redmi Smart TV X with multiple size options—50-, 55-, and 65-inch. The big USP is that all the TVs have the same features across different price points.

Xiaomi has sold over 5 million Mi smart TVs in India since 2021. The premium Xiaomi “sub-brand” currently holds a sizable 30 percent share of the segment and with Redmi joining the bandwagon, the brand is “looking to capture 40 percent market share with the help of its Redmi TVs,” category lead for smart TVs at Xiaomi India, Eshwar Nilakantan, had said while speaking to Financial Express Online recently.

These TVs also make high-end features like Dolby Vision and HDR 10+ accessible to more buyers. They are also one of the few smart TVs at their price point to offer Motion Estimation, Motion Compensation.

When asked about monetization, Nilakantan had said that Xiaomi “remains unclear about the monetization aspect at this point of time, but it will be cognizant of family needs when it comes to curated content.”

Xiaomi is also introducing the Mi Home app in the Redmi TVs that will allow users to control and monitor all their IoT products directly from their TV.
