Xiaomi MiTV Price In India & Feature Details
Xiaomi is not just a phone maker. It's evolving into an electronics company and already beat Samsung in the mobile game on home ground - China. Xiaomi is now bringing MiTV in India and it's one kick-ass product to look forward to in coming months. I came to know about MiTV launch in India, the price tag it will launch with and why it's a solid offering. Here's something all of you should know-

โNow comes the most important point: The price of Xiaomi MiTV in India. Few of the sources I referred to indicated that the price of the MiTV will be about Rs. 60,000-68,000, inclusive of taxes in India. If that's actually the price point Xiaomi is targeting with the MiTV, I can safely declare the TV as 'Winner' of 2015 best TVs to buy in India.
Hugo Barra, VP of Xiaomi has already confirmed that the TV will launch in India in Q2 of 2015 and the company is already working on getting certifications. After disrupting the mobile markets and taking only a few weeks to achieve what other rival brands (Micromax, Lava, Karbonn) took several months to achieve - I think Xiaomi is now planning to disrupt the TV segment in India. A huge number of people will be upgrading their TV sets to LCD/LED TVs in India and I'm convinced that Xiaomi is going to be the right guy at the right time.
