Xiaomi unveils new ultra-thin Smart TV models in China in four different sizes

Xiaomi **was expected to host a launch event** in China today and the company has just unveiled two new Mi TV models. Both the new TVs primarily feature a design overhaul of sorts with ultra-slim frame design, quite similar to the design language on the Xiaomi Mi Mix range of smartphones. Xiaomi’s CEO Lei Jun on a Weibo post explains that this has been made possible because of a new design that has the screen placed outside the frame, rather than being encased within it. The post by the CEO also reveals the prices of all the new models. The 32-inch Smart TV will retail at CNY 1,099 (roughly Rs 11,400); while the more premium model which comes in 43-inch Full HD, 55-inch 4K and 65-inch 4K options have been priced at CNY 1,999 (roughly Rs 20,700), CNY 2,999 (roughly Rs 31,100 and CNY 3,999 (roughly Rs 41,500) respectively.
