Xiaomi did take it’s time to bring its television lineup to India. However, when they did, they made sure everyone takes notice. Launched a little over a month ago, Xiaomi plans to revolutionise the televisions space in India – just like what it did to the smartphones space here. Not only are the TVs from Xiaomi feature packed, they are also extremely value for money propositions when compared to offerings from the competition. A few weeks after Xiaomi launched the Mi Tv 4 and the Mi TV 4A series in India, the company officially announced their successors – the Mi Tv 4S and the Mi Tv 4C in China. While both these products are yet to officially come to India, there is no harm in comparing the spec sheets of these two against the current flagship Tv from Mi – the 55-inch Mi Tv 4 that is sold in India for Rs.39,999.
