As scheduled, Xiaomi launched the first Redmi-branded Amazon FireOS-powered smart TV in India today. The product officially goes by Redmi Smart Fire TV. The television currently arrives in a single 32-inch variant.
For the unaware, this is not the first FireOS TV from Xiaomi. The company sells a couple of models in Europe. But those televisions are Xiaomi-branded and not Redmi like this one.
Let’s check out what this new Redmi TV for India has to offer.
Redmi Smart Fire TV 32 Specifications
The TV sports a 32-inch LED-backlit LCD panel with a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels (HD Ready), and a 60Hz refresh rate. The display supports up to 6.5ms response time and a 178° viewing angle. Just like all Xiaomi televisions, it comes with the company’s proprietary picture profile called ‘Vivid Picture Engine’.
The screen is further paired with 20W (2 x 10W) speakers. There’s support for Dolby Audio, DTS-HD, and DTS Virtual: X. The TV has a metal frame but other parts of the body, including stands, are plastic.
It is powered by an unnamed chipset comprising a quad-core CPU (4 x ARM Cortex-A35) and an ARM Mali G31 MP2 GPU. The silicon is paired with 1GB RAM and 8GB storage.
The device boots Amazon Fire OS 7 with support for all the leading streaming platforms, free live TV channels, Alexa, Miracast, and Apple AirPlay. It ships with a new voice-enabled remote control, which is different from the one included with the firm’s Android TV-powered televisions. This latest remote includes useful keys for playback controls, mute, guide, apps, and Alexa.
On the connectivity front, the TV offers dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth 5.0, and Ethernet. It comes with all the essential ports, such as 1 x AV, 2 x HDMI (one of them is ARC compatible), a 3.5mm headphone jack, an antenna, and 2 x USB.
Last but not least, the television ships in an eco-friendly box that can be repurposed for DIY furniture.
