Xiaomi on Wednesday announced two new Mi TV models in India with the launch of the new Mi TV 4A series. The Chinese electronics company has launched the 43-inch Mi TV 4A in India, alongside the 32-inch model in the same series. Both Mi TV 4A models are 'smart TVs', featuring Xiaomi's India-optimised and AI-powered PatchWall UI.
