Xiaomi outs super slim 4K TV…and a water purifier

Xiaomi has been known to have introduced and sold obscure products in the past. Well it seems like there’s no stopping the Chinese company from dipping its toes outside of the smartphone market as they introduce the super slim Mi TV 2S and a water purifier.

Xiaomi Mi TV 2S specs:
48-inch display
4K resolution
Quad-core processor
2GB RAM
Smart TV with “$10 billion online TV library”
9.9mm thin body
Android 5 Lollipop OS

The Mi TV 2S is also reported to be able to display a full, uncompressed YUV 4:4:4 gamut in 4K at 60fps — a feature usually seen only on high-end displays. It is expected to sell in China for $485 (approx. Php22K) this July 28. Users can also opt to go for the package that comes with its own sound bar, which will total to $645 (approx. Php29K).

As for the water purifier, it’s one of the company’s entry in the ‘smart’ home system. It reportedly uses reverse osmosis and has a cotton filter, RO membrane, and two activated coconut carbon filters that aim to “reduce the TDS (total dissolved solids) to less than 100 in drinking water.”

The thing that makes it smart is its capability to be patched into an existing smart home system and will send a notification whenever it needs a new filter or when the device is faulty. The smart water purifier is priced at CNY1,299 (approx. Php9.5K).
