Definition
Xiaomi TV is Xiaomi’s smart television family, covering a range of screen sizes and configurations. The official store’s “TVs” category lists RGB-Mini LED and Mini LED televisions, plus the REDMI MAX, A Pro, and other lines (see the Xiaomi store category page); current models, sizes, and prices are governed by the store’s live pages.
How it works
Xiaomi TVs ship with a built-in smart TV system and launcher; app installation and system updates happen inside that system. Operation goes through a Xiaomi TV remote, and voice-capable remotes let you issue commands to the TV directly. The availability of voice and other AI interaction varies by model and system version, governed by each model’s official information.
Usage
The primary setting is home big-screen entertainment and TV apps. Older units are also frequently repurposed by the community: episode 007 discussed treating an old TV as the living-room big screen, with an always-on computer on the same local network operating the TV over remote ADB (see Android Debug Bridge) and interacting with AI through it.
Related and confusable terms
- Xiaomi TV means the television set itself; TV boxes and set-top boxes that need external hosts are a different product form and should not be conflated with it.
- The Xiaomi TV remote entry covers the accessory; this entry covers only the television sets.
- Other entries such as Xiaomi smartphones and XiaoAI speakers cover different Xiaomi product lines, each for its own class of device.
Discussed on Next Token
In episode 007, in the chapter “重做电视启动器，让旧设备接入 AI” (Rebuilding a TV launcher to bring old devices into AI), 杨攀 (Yang Pan) described how his Xiaomi TV, bought only a few years earlier, kept complaining about insufficient memory; 歸藏 (Guizang) attributed this to system updates that ignore whether old devices can keep up — his own judgment, not an official explanation. 歸藏 also described the wave of rebuilding TV launchers and how cluttered factory launchers are, and proposed treating an old TV as the living-room big screen with the Xiaomi remote as the natural input for talking to AI. The episode does not identify a specific model, so this entry stays at the product-family level. See the episode 007 chapter (Chinese transcript).
Frequently asked questions
What product lines does Xiaomi TV have?
Per the Xiaomi store category page, the “TVs” category lists RGB-Mini LED and Mini LED televisions plus the REDMI MAX, A Pro, and other lines; current models and naming are governed by the store’s live pages.
What can I do about an old Xiaomi TV that keeps warning about low memory?
Xiaomi has not published a unified statement about these warnings. Start by checking storage usage in the TV’s settings and uninstalling apps you do not use. Yang Pan’s case in episode 007 is exactly this situation, and the participants attributed it to continuing system updates — that is personal experience, not an official explanation. If the problem persists, seek after-sales support through Xiaomi’s official service page.
What else can an old Xiaomi TV be used for?
Episode 007 offers one community recipe: treat the TV as the living-room big screen and let an always-on computer on the same local network operate it over remote ADB — for example, pushing content or waking it on schedule to play the morning briefing (see the Android Debug Bridge entry). This requires enabling developer options on the device and is done at your own risk; it is not an officially promoted use.
