Xiaomi’s Mi TV 4A smart televisions are among the most value-for-money TVs you can buy the market. The company, however, continues to make them even better value with the Horizon Edition upgrade. The “Horizon” treatment comes to the entry-level models with reduced bezels and more features than before. Xiaomi has kept the prices still affordable and will put them up on sale from September 11.
The Mi TV 4A Horizon Edition comes in two screen sizes. The entry-level model has a 32-inch HD ready display and it costs Rs 13,499. This model will go on sale on September 11 at 12 pm via Flipkart and Mi.com. The bigger 43-inch model has a Full HD display and that will set you back by Rs 22,999. This variant will go on sale from September 16 at 6 pm via Amazon and Mi.com. Xiaomi says you can buy these TVs from its offline partners soon.

Similar to older models, the Mi TV 4A Horizon Edition comes with Android TV 9 Pie. Hence, you get easy access to Google Play apps and Chromecast. There’s also easy access to Google Assistant. With the bundled remote controller, users can perform searches via voice commands. The Google Data Saver mode also comes back, allowing users to stream content via a mobile hotspot with wasting data.
