If your living room is anything like ours, it’s no longer just a place to catch the evening news. It’s our weekend cinema, our console gaming arena, and honestly? Sometimes our makeshift office when we need to review pitch decks or run presentations on a massive display.

So when Xiaomi dropped the new Xiaomi TV S Mini LED 2026 Series in the Philippines, we had to check it out. And after spending some real time with it, we can tell you straight up: this lineup is a serious bang-for-your-buck game changer.
Whether you’re fitting out a cozy bedroom screen or going all-out with a stadium-sized living room setup, they’ve got options covering 55″, 65″, 75″, and massive 85″ and 98″ sizes. Here’s why we think it’s totally worth your hard-earned cash.
Insane Color and Brightness (That Mini LED Screen is Gorgeous)
The second you turn this TV on, the picture quality immediately hits you. Thanks to Quantum Dot Mini LED technology, you get those deep, inky blacks that usually cost an arm and a leg, plus crazy peak brightness up to 1,200 nits.
Xiaomi packed this series with dedicated local dimming zones—starting at 308 zones on the 55-inch all the way up to 880 zones on the massive 98-inch titan. What does that mean in real life? The contrast is pin-sharp, dark movie scenes don’t look washed out, and the colors pop with incredible 94% DCI-P3 color gamut accuracy. Movie nights with HDR10+ and Filmmaker Mode enabled feel ridiculously high-end.
Google TV Built-In: Fast, Convenient, and Perfect for Work or Play
We love a smart TV interface that doesn’t lag, and having Google TV built right in makes everyday use a total breeze. Powered by a snappy Quad Cortex A73 processor with 3GB RAM, jumping between apps feels instant.
It really bridges the gap between productivity and entertainment:
- For Work: Need to mirror your screen for a Zoom call, view high-res photos, or share a deck with team members? You can cast seamlessly from your phone or laptop in seconds using built-in Google Cast or Apple AirPlay.
- For Play: Binge-watching your favorite Netflix or YouTube series is frictionless. Plus, hands-free Google Assistant means you can just say what you want to watch without hunting down the remote under the sofa cushions.
Ultra-Smooth Gaming with Zero Stutter
If you’re plugging in a PS5, Xbox, or gaming PC, this screen is an absolute dream. Motion blur is practically non-existent.

On the 55”, 65”, and 75” models, you get a super responsive 4K panel with 120Hz Game Boost mode, MEMC 4K 60Hz frame interpolation, and HDMI 2.1 Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM).
If you go big with the 85” or 98” models, you’re getting native 144Hz 4K performance that can boost up to 288Hz in Game Boost mode! Combined with VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) and triple HDMI 2.1 ports, fast action games run silky smooth without any screen tearing.
Room-Filling Sound & Sleek Aesthetic
You won’t immediately need to go out and buy a separate soundbar either. The dual 15W speakers are tuned with Dolby Audio™, DTS:X, and Dolby Atmos® (on the larger sizes), delivering clear, punchy sound that easily fills the room.
Design-wise, the Dark Gray finish with up to a 98% screen-to-body ratio looks super clean and modern on any wall or TV console. And if you like late-night binge sessions or long gaming marathons, the built-in low blue light protection and 20kHz hybrid dimming keep your eyes from feeling fatigued.
The Final Verdict
If you want top-tier picture quality, lightning-fast smart features for both work and streaming, and pro-level gaming performance without paying luxury-brand prices, the Xiaomi TV S Mini LED 2026 Series delivers big time on value.
