Xiaomi has added a new, affordable Android TV to its portfolio. The Mi TV 4A 40 Horizon Edition is a direct competitor of the OnePlus TV 40Y1, which was introduced a few days ago.
The new 40-inch Full HD Xiaomi TV has a frame-less design and a metal frame that surrounds the 60 Hz display. The company says the screen-to-body ratio is 93.7%, just like the OnePlus model.
In terms of software, the Mi TV 4A 40 Horizon Edition runs immediately on Android 9. Xiaomi also puts its own PatchWall user interface on top of it for personalization, so you can use this or the standard Android TV user interface.
