Micromax is India’s answer to Xiaomi, offering affordable products for the masses. Just like its Chinese counterpart, they have just announced not one but two Smart TVs that would compete with the likes of the Mi TV2. Both models pushes Ultra HD resolution of 4K (2160p) with the smaller 42″ LED TV priced at Rs. 39,990 (about RM2,353), while the bigger 49″ version is going for Rs. 49,990 (about RM2,942). As comparison, Xiaomi’s Mi TV2 is priced at 3,999 CNY, which is RM2,373 at today’s rates and it comes inclusive with a soundbar and sub-woofer.
Both Micromax TVs run on Android but the smaller 42″ TV runs on an older Android 4.2 Jelly Bean while its bigger model gets Android 4.4.2 KitKat. Google Play Store is included, so you can install any apps including games. Speaking of games, the wireless remote control also doubles up as a game controller as it has a built-in gravity sensor.
In terms of hardware, surprisingly the 42″ TV gets better specs with a 1.2GHz dual-core CPU, 2GB of RAM, dual-core GPU, 3X USB (2x USB 2.0, 1x USB 3.0) and 3x HDMI ports. The bigger version is similar but it gets just 1GB oF RAM and only 2x HDMI ports but the GPU is listed as a Quad-Core unit for better gaming. On-board there’s about 2.5GB of storage but it can be expanded up to 32GB using microSD. Connectivity wise, it gets WiFi and a LAN port as well.
It is now available on Flipkart and there’s no word if it will be sold outside of India anytime soon. A 4K LED TV for less than RM3,000 is definitely a steal. You can expect a complete sell out just like the hot selling Xiaomi Mi TV2.
