It seems no one can stop Xiaomi from
making new incredible products for the TV market. Just recently, it released
the Xiaomi Mi TV OLED Transparent product. It costs 49,999 yuan (US$ 7,283). This
is the most expensive Xiaomi TV, but it’s a revolutionary product. However,
it’s not going to be the last surprise in 2020. The latest news shows that
Xiaomi will also bring two 82-inch large-screen TVs. They should have an 8K
resolution. Thus, it will become Xiaomi’s first 8K TV.
As a Weibo blogger said, two new Xiaomi
TVs have been appeared on the net. And both use 82-inch LGD screens. They are
manufactured by Xinpu (Guangzhou) Electronics Co., Ltd. The models are L82M6-8K
and L82M6-4K. These should correspond to 8K and 4K resolution versions. At
present, Xiaomi TV uses a 4K resolution (3840×2160) as the mainstream. The
previously released Redmi 98-inch TV and Xiaomi Transparent TV have achieved
breakthroughs in size and innovation, respectively. Next, Xiaomi Mi TV is
likely to choose 8K as a breakthrough point, bringing its first 8K TV.
Now, under the premise of rapid commercial
use of 5G networks, the 8K TV have become very popular and demanded. At the
same time, 5G + 8K is hailed as the benchmark flagship configuration of current
color TVs. In 2020, it has become the main battlefield for 8K TVs. At present,
Samsung, LG, TCL, Skyworth, Hisense, Changhong, Konka, Haier, and other major
brands have all launched 8K TV products. But at the same time, the 8K ecology
is extremely lacking. So Xiaomi, which is known for its content, is expected to
bring changes.
In July of this year, according to data
from Aowei Cloud Network, in the first half of 2020, Xiaomi’s TV shipments
ranked first in China. It has ranked first in China for six consecutive
quarters. Last year, Xiaomi Mi TV successfully hit the 10 million unit sales
target in the Chinese market for the first time. At that time, Lei Jun said
that this was a new milestone in the history of Chinese TV and an unprecedented
record in the history of Chinese TV.
By the way, Xiaomi’s latest second-quarter
financial report shows that Xiaomi’s TV shipments in the quarter were 2.8
million units, ranking first in China and top five in the world.
