Redmi Smart Fire TV has been confirmed to launch in India on March 14, 2023. As the name suggests, this is a smart TV based on Amazon’s Fire OS— version 7— software, which is a first for a Xiaomi/Redmi TV. Fire OS-powered smart TVs, themselves, are a niche product category in India which makes the upcoming Redmi Smart Fire TV quite interesting.
Xiaomi has naturally started teasing the specs, features, and design of the Redmi Smart Fire TV in advance touting a metallic bezel-less screen and immersive audio experience. The remote, too, is different from what you get on other Xiaomi and Redmi TVs and falls closer in line with the Alexa remote that you get with Amazon’s Fire TV devices. The Redmi Smart Fire TV will be based on Fire OS 7 which is likely to be the only interface available on this TV. This means no PatchWall or Android TV.
