Redmi Smart Fire TV Review: Good Option In Budget Category

Redmi, a sub-brand of Xiaomi, recently launched the first Fire OS-powered 32-inch smart TV – Redmi Smart Fire TV in India under the Rs 15,000 category. As the demand for smart TVs continues to grow in the country, the Redmi TV offers all the features one would expect in this price range, making it an attractive option.

Redmi Smart Fire TV price and features

Redmi Smart Fire TV price in India is Rs 13,999. The Redmi TV comes with Amazon’s Fire OS 7 with over 12,000 apps from the Fire TV App Store, including Prime Video, Netflix, Disney+ Hotstar, Zee5, SonyLiv, YouTube and more. You can stream Amazon miniTV and over 70 live channels. We reviewed this product and more for over two weeks and here’s what I have to say about the new budget smart TV from Redmi.

redmi smart fire tv design

Starting with the design, the budget-friendly Redmi Smart Fire TV is an ideal choice for small rooms or families. The Redmi TV sports a simple plastic body with thin bezels on three sides giving it a sleek look. The TV comes with a stand, but if you prefer to mount it on the wall, you’ll need to buy a wall mount separately. The only downside to the design is the weight management, in my opinion this Redmi TV is a bit heavy if you compare it with the competition available in the market.

The TV offers everything you need, including two USB Type-A ports, a 3.5mm aux port, two HDMI ports, and an Ethernet port. There’s also a white LED indicator and a physical power button at the bottom of the TV. The remote control has quick access buttons for major OTT platforms and an Alexa voice assistance button. Additionally, there are buttons for guide, mute, volume adjustment, navigation, playback controls (fast forward, pause, rewind), and power.

The remote is not only user-friendly but also offers the added advantage of controlling smart devices within your home with the Alexa Button. Using the Redmi Smart Fire TV 32 Remote is a smooth and hassle-free experience. Overall, the Redmi Smart Fire TV 32 is the right choice for anyone looking for a budget-friendly option with all the essential features.

Coming to the display, the display performance of the Redmi Smart Fire TV 32 is decent, especially considering its budget-friendly price. It features a 32-inch LED screen with a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels, which is good enough to enjoy most content in a small room. The TV’s color reproduction is adequate, but not exceptional, and can look a bit washed out compared to high-end models.

In terms of refresh rate, the Redmi Smart Fire TV 32 has a standard 60Hz refresh rate and can handle most content without any noticeable lag or stuttering. One area where the Redmi Smart Fire TV excels is its viewing angles. The TV offers wide viewing angles, allowing viewers to watch from almost any position in the room without compromising on picture quality. This makes it a great choice for small family rooms or bedrooms.

The Redmi Smart Fire TV comes with 20W stereo speakers (two of 10W each) with Dolby audio support. The TV supports DTS-HD surround sound, which provides a more immersive audio experience than standard stereo sound. Sound quality is good, with clear dialogue and decent bass. However, the maximum volume may not be loud enough for large rooms. Overall, while the audio performance of the Redmi Smart Fire TV 32 may not be exceptional, it is still good enough to provide a pleasant viewing experience, especially for smaller rooms.
