Xiaomi Mi LED TV 4 was launched in India on Wednesday, alongside the Redmi Note 5 and Redmi Note 5 Pro. Claimed to be the world’s thinnest LED TV with a thickness of 4.9mm, the series was originally unveiled at CES 2017, and then went on sale in China in June last year. The launch by Xiaomi marks its first foray into the televisions segment in India, a long-anticipated arrival thanks to the company’s low prices. The Mi TV 4 has been launched in just a single variant in India – 55-inch – and it will be exclusive to Flipkart. Notably, the company is calling it the Mi LED TV 4 (55) in India.
