Xiaomi TVs set to launch in Pakistan soon

January 16, 2025

Xiaomi TVs are officially set to make their debut in Pakistan, as confirmed by Xiaomi Pakistan through an announcement on its official X account. After much anticipation, the company has revealed that its TVs will soon be available in the country.

Xiaomi has partnered with Air Link Communication Ltd. for the launch. SELECT, a wholly-owned subsidi of Air Link in Pakistan, will handle local distribution and manufacturing. This collaboration aims to keep the TVs’ pricing competitive and avoid the high tax and import rates typically seen with international products.

Xiaomi Pakistan plans to initially release the TV A Series and TV A Pro Series in 2025. Although Air Link’s official press release also mentioned other lineups, such as the Mini Series, Max Series, and A Pro Series, it remains unclear whether all of these models will be launched simultaneously. Further announcements may follow.

Specifications

The TV A Pro Series 2025 will be available in 43-inch and 55-inch sizes in international markets, both featuring 4K QLED panels and a 60Hz refresh rate. While pricing details for Pakistan are not yet available, the advanced technology indicates they may fall in a premium price range.

On the other hand, the non-pro model, the TV A 32 2025, is expected to offer a more affordable option. It features a 720p LED panel, a smaller 32-inch size, and the same 60Hz refresh rate as the Pro variant, catering to those seeking a budget-friendly option for everyday use.

Stay tuned for more details as Xiaomi gears up to officially unveil its TV lineup in Pakistan.
