Xiaomi introduces Android-powered Smart TV at USD 320

Xiaomi has launched Mi TV 2, a 40-inch display model, at CNY 1,999 or USD320. The China-based company, which has emerged as a threat to industry giants such as Samsung, is now strengthening its position in the Chinese TV market.
The four-year old startup- Xiaomi- had launched Mi TV 2 with 4K display last year. Now, the company has unveiled a new variant with a price tag of CNY 1,999 or about USD322. Specifications of the new Mi TV 2 include; 1.5GB DDR3 RAM / 8GB eMMC flash, MIUI TV Android-based OS and Cortex-A9 quad-core 1.45GHz CPU, Mali-450 MP4 4+2-core GPU. The TV comes with 40″ Full HD LED Sharp SDP X-GEN panel, according to MIUI.
Xiaomi is selling the new variant of the TV via its online store- mi.com. The company has recently  announced that it will open its online stores in other countries such as India and the U.S. this year to sell mobile phone peripherals.
Back in November, Xiaomi had announced that it will be investing as much as USD1 billion to expand its internet TV platform. The company already sells TVs and set-top boxes in China and is trying to expand its presence in the video content market.
