Xiaomi has opened pre-sales in China for its new S Pro Mini LED 2026 series, bringing a mix of extreme brightness, high refresh rates and updated smart TV software to the market. The lineup includes 65-, 75- and 85-inch versions priced at 6,499 yuan (about $909), 8,199 yuan ($1,147) and 10,499 yuan ($1,469) at launch; a 98-inch model is also listed on Xiaomi’s site at 19,999 yuan ($2,799), with final availability to be confirmed.
Key specifications
Display and HDR
All S Pro Mini LED 2026 models use Mini LED backlighting with peak brightness of 5,200 nits and extensive local dimming—ranging from 1,792 zones on the 65-inch to 3,864 zones on the 98-inch. Panels cover 95% of the DCI‑P3 color space, reproduce 10.7 billion colors and target professional ΔE≈1 color accuracy. The TVs support Dolby Vision, HDR10+ and Filmmaker Mode for accurate cinematic playback.
Refresh rate and gaming
Xiaomi confirms native 4K at 165Hz across the range, with an optional 330Hz mode aimed at competitive gaming. Variable refresh tech includes VRR, MEMC and FreeSync Premium Pro, while motion handling and AI upscaling are managed by Xiaomi’s XM9000 image processor and Master Image Engine.
Hardware and software
Under the hood the S Pro runs HyperOS 3 on a MediaTek 9655 platform with a quad-core Cortex‑A73 CPU, 4GB RAM and 64GB storage. HyperOS 3 brings a 4K UI, Super XiaoAi voice assistant and ambient‑light driven scene tuning.
Design, audio and connectivity
The panels use a low‑reflection WHVA wide‑angle glass with a 0.5% surface reflectivity anti‑glare coating for better contrast in bright rooms, combined with an ultra‑slim 4.35mm bezel and a 0.9mm black border for immersion. Audio is a Harman‑tuned 2.1.2 system delivering 61W with upward‑firing channels for Dolby Atmos. Ports include three HDMI 2.1 (one eARC), USB 3.0 and 2.0, optical out, AV in, LAN and antenna. Wireless connectivity is Wi‑Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2.
Smart features, safety and ecosystem
Xiaomi has added a millimeter‑wave radar sensor to detect viewer proximity and trigger eye‑care alerts in Kids Mode. The TVs integrate with the Mi Home ecosystem and offer multi‑screen sports streaming capabilities for live events.
Comparisons and market relevance
Against competitors, Xiaomi’s 5,200‑nit peak falls slightly short of TCL’s QM9K QD‑Mini LED (6,500 nits) but positions the S Pro as a strong value proposition when combined with HyperOS 3, the XM9000 processor and aggressive gaming specs. For price‑sensitive markets, rival launches such as AKAI’s PowerView series in India (starting near ₹13,990) highlight how manufacturers are segmenting Mini LED and QD‑Mini LED offerings across regions.
Use cases and advantages
The S Pro Mini LED 2026 is tailored for: bright‑room viewing and HDR lovers (high peak brightness and anti‑glare coating), competitive and cloud gaming (165Hz native with 330Hz mode, VRR and FreeSync), and home cinema enthusiasts who value color accuracy and Dolby Vision. Families benefit from proximity‑based eye care and smart home integration.
Conclusion
With industry‑grade color tuning, a new HyperOS experience and gaming‑focused refresh rates, Xiaomi’s S Pro Mini LED 2026 series targets users who want flagship picture performance without flagship pricing. Availability outside China and final pricing for the 98‑inch model remain to be confirmed.
