When it comes to matters of the resolution, owing to its size and Redmi’s budget roots, we may see the 32-inch model come with a resolution of HD or 720p, while the 43-inch model will likely come with FHD resolution. The Vivid Picture Engine will supposedly offer brighter and crisp images.
It is likely that the two new TVs will add to its X-series of smart TVs which already comes in three sizes, 50-inch, 55-inch and 65-inch, launched in India for Rs 32,999 for the base variant. There was a price hike later, and now the 50-inch model retails for Rs 38,999.
Rumours suggest that the new 32-inch and 43-inch models will likely retail in the Rs 30k segment, which will surely spice up the TV segment in India.
