Xiaomi Throws Down in China Market With Upgradable Sub-$800 4K TV

Xiaomi, which is redefining the upscale, low-priced smartphone market in China, is now taking on advanced TVs. Multiple sources reported Monday that Xiaomi launched an upgradable 60-inch 4K TV that will sell in China beginning next month for under $800. CNET reported the TV has its motherboard and processor built into a detachable speaker that will allow users to update the MiTV’s smart capabilities without having to trash the display, a strategy similar to Samsung’s with the Evolution Kit.
