Xiaomi new TV - 65-inch curved display in 5.9mm thick body

Xiaomi launched their curved smart TV today featuring a monster 65-inch screen and a body that’s thinner than the iPhone 6S!

The 65-inch Xiaomi TV boasts a curved display from Samsung and Xiaomi hope the TV will take over many living rooms in China and have made the lifestyle product as thin as possible to ensure it can fit in to the smallest of spaces.

At 8999 Yuan ($1390) it’s much more expensive than the TV3S also launched today, but with the large price, and large screen comes a higher 4K resolution too.

An MStar 6A928 quad-core chipset with Mali T760 GPU gives the TV a boost in graphics and supports 10-bit H.265 4K / 60fps decoding. There are 2GB of DDR3 dual channel RAM, and 8GB of eMMC 5.0 storage too.

4 x 2.5-inch woofers drive Dolby DTS audio in to the living room.

Like other Xiaomi TV’s don’t expect Xiaomi to launch their curved display TV outside of China.
