With the current Mi TV 4 series selling in big numbers in China and India, the company is all set to reveal its Mi TV 5 series, the next-generation range from the company, on November 5 in Xiaomi’s home market of China. Ahead of the launch, the company has taken to Chinese social network Weibo to reveal some details of the television series.

According to the post, the new TV range is expected to come with a four-unit speaker. The post describes the setup as having a woofer and full-range speaker each in the left and right channels, promising better bass, finer treble, and a wide sound field. Apart from this, the TV is said to support various Dolby and DTS audio formats.
Meanwhile, another post revealed that the Mi TV 5 range is said to come with a slimmer frame that is 47 percent thinner than that of the Mi TV 4. This gives the televisions a better screen-to-body ratio and tighter corners. The metal body and backplate are slimmer, with the thickness going as low as 5.9mm.

The new Mi TV 5 will have bezels that measure 1.8mm. This thickness will be for the top and the sides, from what it seems from the teaser. There’s no information on whether the bezels will remain the same size at the bottom. Additionally, the corners of the screen will be curved on the inside to provide better aesthetics.
The company has been releasing some details about the televisions ahead of the launch. However, with only a few hours left in the launch, only the final product and its pricing details truly remain to be seen. The series is said to be launching with the Amlogic T972 processor, along with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage – unusually high for the television segment. That aside, HDR10+ and MEMC support have also been touted
