Xiaomi Mi TV 4 comes with stunning design and lots of speakers, but only in China: CES 2017

There are several things to notice in the new Xiaomi Mi TV 4. It comes with the company's own TV software, namely, the Patch Wall, which is a deep learning AI that references metadata to make intelligent content recommendations tailored to you in any situation. Also, Xiaomi claims that it is the first TV to have come with this sort of technology.

This ultra-thin television measures just 4.9mm thick, and it's also got transparent stands so that if you don't want to mount the TV, it'll still look like it's floating.

Noticeably, the Xiaomi Mi TV 4 is a modular TV. That being said, the TV's display is detachable, much like the modular phones released last year, where you can add modules for further enhancement. But, with the Xiaomi Mi Tv 4, you can easily upgrade your display and motherboard.

Yes, yes, Indian dumbass are lining up to buy Chinese smartphones like there is no tommorrow

Chinese smartphones are killing India’s brands

• • Chinese mobile phone brands are booming in India, for the first time ever making up more than half – 51 percent – of new devices in the world’s second largest smartphone market.
    
    Meanwhile, Indian brands dropped below 20 percent market share of shipments in November, according to Counterpoint Research, plummeting from 40 percent in early 2016.
    
    Local brands have been facing increasingly stiff competition from Chinese brands that are affordable.
    
    Counterpoint research analyst Karn Chauhan says most Chinese brands are in the US$75-200 price segment. As per market share data for the September quarter, Xiaomi has pushed out local players and now dominates this segment, along with Samsung. Those budget phones have seen a growth of over 45 percent in the past year.
    
    The biggest gainers were China’s Vivo and Gionee, making mid-range – US$250-450 – phones, a segment that soared by over 150 percent.
    
    Volatile market and fickle shoppers
    Micromax and Intex suffered as they cater to sub-US$90 price range phones, where sales were flat at the end of September.
    
    Karn feels the tide has changed in favor of Chinese brands in just a couple of months. “This shows volatility of the Indian smartphone market, and next year, there will be significant pressure on Samsung to protect its market share from the onslaught of these Chinese brands,” he explains.
    
    Smartphone shipments in India hit a record 35 million in the September quarter due to increased demand from retailers readying for the festive season. Chinese brands such as Lenovo, Xiaomi, Vivo, and Oppo collectively cornered 32 percent of the smartphone market.
    
    Chinese brands are poised to rocket to 60 percent share.
  • 
    
  • Xiaomi in October said it sold more than 1 million smartphones in India in the first 18 days of the month. In the whole of 2016, the Chinese company claims to have crossed US$1 billion in revenue. Xiaomi was launched in India in July 2014.
    
    They’ve also been riding India’s online shopping boom. Late entrants Xiaomi, OnePlus, and Le Eco have taken the online route to dethroning local players with lots of stores and sellers. Most Chinese brands launched their flagship models exclusively on ecommerce platforms.
    
    Lenovo and Xiaomi also targeted Diwali by pushing up online sales, while other brands including Oppo, Vivo, and Gionee strengthened their offline presence.
    
    Indian brands, however, failed to refresh their portfolio in the mid-price segment. Major Indian brands focusing on entry-level smartphones in semi-urban and rural areas were also hit by the cash crunch from demonetization, Karn says.
    
    The troubles of Indian mobile phone brands(repackaged Chinese phones) are far from over. In 2017, it will be an uphill task for them to compete with Chinese brands which are poised to increase their combined market share to 60 percent, according to Counterpoint Research.
    
    The impact of demonetization is expected to stretch till at least July. The flow of new currency will gain momentum in the first three months of 2017, but Karn says that middle-class purchasing power, especially that of small business owners, will remain strained.
    
    “We expect the next two quarters will be flat in mobile sales,” he says of the period up to July.
    
    What can Indian brands do to take back their share of the market? Invest in research and development to reduce dependence on Chinese manufacturers, Karn says. Tighter control over manufacturing will allow customization for Indian consumers and also reduce the time needed to bring a new product to market.

Only Japenese and Korean brand stuff in ny house. No cheap poor quality junk chinese brands allowed here. The only poor quality chinese stuff i come in contact with are the posts by chinese members here.

You cannot have because it is available in China only.

"The Mi TV 4 is a high-end set that features a 4.9mm thick frame, virtually no bezel, and a modular system that separates the panel from the rest of the electronics. In addition, the Mi TV 4 features Xiaomi’s “Patch Wall” software, which is said to be an AI system that can predict content based on what you’ve watched already. It comes with a soundbar that has 10 speakers, two wireless speakers, a subwoofer, and support for Dolby Atmos surround sound."

Oh, I should add new Mi Mix, which you also cannot have:

***

In addition, Xiaomi announced a white version of the Mi Mix smartphone and a new router that has up to 8TB of built-in storage. Both products will be shipping in China in the near future.

What Xiaomi didn’t announce, even though it did this press event in Las Vegas, NV, in the United States of America, in the Western Hemisphere, was any plans to bring these products to markets outside of China. I guess we still have to wait for that announcement.

you can buy from third party and ship them to the US. Mi Mix works on T-mobile the best. but you can also unlock Qualcomm devices with few tricks.

If Chinese electronics are junk, why do Indians buy so much of the low end Chinese products?

You get what you pay for and most of the high tier chinese products are out of reach of the average Indian consumer.

I'm guessing you are in the top 1 percentile of India or you worked the past 12 years as a dubawala and saved and scrounged every rupee to buy Japanese brands.

 

[terranMarine]

Well what do you know there are still Indians left portraying Made in China junk quality products. Well the world is still waiting for Made in India but since there's zero stuff coming from India (didn't India invented zero?) the world will have to keep on using Chinese "junk" which many are thrilled to spend their money on Chinese products or Western products with the label Made in China

 

[shadows888]

Why shoot the msngr ? And who is this Think Tank guy HRK who has given me 7 negatives?? In the last 10 mins. Some chinese guy i bet with his arse on fire . Cant handle the truth so execute the msngr . Old Mao saying.

Haha a chinese brand tv ? With the famous chinese quality gurantee behind it . Have led tv also become use and throw like cell phones ?

Poor soul, kindly share the story of your childhood?

 

[Place Of Space]

Xiaomi TV and Xiaomi box, good couple. How much of the TV4, by the way?

 

[AndrewJin]

Poor soul, kindly share the story of your childhood?

If he is a normal person, I'd rather believe he is false flagger who intentionally makes India look abysmal.

Xiaomi does CES for the first time... to announce products for China


Xiaomi's first-ever CES press event had many hopeful for news of a US launch, but the company remains focused on its home market

Xiaomi's first-ever press conference at the annual Consumer Electronics Show at Las Vegas could have been the company's entrance into the huge US market.

Instead, many were left disappointed as the Chinese tech company chose to debut two new exciting products exclusive to its home market of China.

It's a strategy that may not immediately make sense, but it apparently plays into the company's

long-term plan for an anticipated launch in the US (that's likely not happening anytime this year).

Xiaomi launches ultra-thin modular TV, in China only
Unlike its rivals, such as LeEco, which caused a big splash with its US entry, Xiaomi has been studiously keeping low-key and laying ground work.

"This strategy of coming in with big money, a massive event, lots of suits -- that's not us," said Hugo Barra, Xiaomi's global VP in an previous interview with CNET. "And I don't think this will work with any brand coming into the US.

Showing off a new, super-slim modular 4K TV, a router and a new white version of its Mi Mixconcept phone, Xiaomi's CES debut was aimed at showing its home market that it has made the big stage in the US -- but still has China in mind.
"CES is a great chance for us to let people get to know us better," said Xiaomi's Wang Xiang, senior VP in a statement to CNET. "And keep in mind that CES is no longer purely a US-orientated show, it's a global exposition to the point where it makes sense for us to launch products for China and other countries right here."

But Xiaomi could have wowed its US audience if it had launched its new Mi TV 4 in the US. Featuring a 4.9mm thick body, the ability to upgrade the motherboard and display separately as well as an AI that learns and recommends content, the TV would have been a great entry product. And it would complement its Mi Box, currently sold in the US.

Even its Mi Router HD, a 4x4 MU-MIMO networking device with speeds of up to 2,600Mbps, sporting a $200 (roughly AU$270, £160) price tag for the 1Tb version, would make a lot of sense for the US.

"It was likely for bragging rights back home that a Chinese company has hit the big global stage at a key show like CES," said IDC research analyst Bryan Ma. "It was a similar line of thought with their press event at Mobile World Congress last year."

Ma also added that Xiaomi's CES launch likely had another purpose in mind: To cozy up to US media for when it finally launches there.

Xiaomi is already in 20 countries in the world, but the US, Australia and many European markets remain. Getting there, however, looks like it'll take some time.

I'm thinking they will announce products in 6 months for the US market.. this is just testing the waters to see how american audiences response to their marketing.
