Core specs: Mini LED backlight combined with quantum-dot (QD) enhancement for 94% DCI-P3 coverage and 1.07 billion colors, peak brightness up to 5,200 nits on top-tier 98-inch model, 4K at 165Hz standard refresh with a 330Hz gaming mode, HDR10+ and Dolby Vision support, 408 dimming zones on the 55-inch (more on larger sizes), seven-speaker Harman AudioEFX audio, Google TV with Xiaomi's HyperOS 3 overlay, and the Xiaomi XM9000 image processor.

What's interesting

5,200 nits peak brightness is among the highest published by any consumer TV in 2026. TechRadar framed this as a flagship-level brightness figure at mid-range pricing, competitive with Samsung Neo QLED flagships at half the price. Independent measurements typically register somewhat below manufacturer peak claims; even at 4,000-4,500 nits, the S Pro series outpaces most competitors at this size.

330Hz refresh rate in gaming mode is unusual for a consumer TV. Most 2026 flagships cap at 165Hz; the S Pro series accepts 4K 120Hz standard input and supports a 1080p/1440p 330Hz mode for competitive PC gamers connecting via HDMI 2.1. Gizmochina confirmed the gaming refresh rate pushes the TV toward esports monitor territory.

QD-Mini LED combines quantum dot color enhancement with Mini LED local dimming. For HDR content with wide color gamut (Dolby Vision, HDR10+), the combination delivers significantly better color volume than standard LED or OLED at similar price.

98-inch size at $2,799 is the value disruption. Comparable 98-inch TVs from LG, Samsung, and Hisense retail at $4,000-$6,000. For buyers in Xiaomi-supported markets, the 98-inch S Pro is the cheapest way into extremely large screens with flagship-class performance.

Seven-speaker Harman AudioEFX audio system delivers respectable sound without requiring a separate soundbar for casual use. For dedicated home theater, a separate Atmos bar still wins.

What's missing or unverified

US availability is not confirmed. Xiaomi does not officially sell TVs in the US; Chinese-import units have no US warranty support and may have language/input compatibility issues. SoyaCincau's review focused on Malaysian retail availability.

HyperOS 3 on Xiaomi TVs has occasional software quirks. Some streaming apps (particularly regional services) may require sideloading. Google TV integration handles major US/EU streaming platforms cleanly.

The XM9000 processor is competent but not class-leading for AI upscaling. LG's Alpha 11 AI Gen3 and Samsung's NQ4 AI Gen3 deliver better upscaling of 1080p content to 4K.

Viewing angles on Mini LED are narrower than OLED. For rooms with wide seating arrangements, OLED delivers more consistent image quality across seat positions.

3GB RAM and 32GB storage on the smart TV side is below competitor specs. For buyers running heavy app usage or retaining settings across firmware updates, the Xiaomi platform has less headroom than Samsung Tizen or LG webOS.

Who it's for

Home theater enthusiasts in China, India, Malaysia, and EU markets where Xiaomi sells directly and looking for maximum screen size at aggressive pricing. Gaming households running PC hardware at 1440p 330Hz or console at 4K 120Hz. Buyers who prioritize peak HDR brightness over OLED black levels.

Not for: US buyers (no official support), OLED purists (OLED still wins on black levels and viewing angles), or anyone who needs long-term firmware support (Xiaomi has been inconsistent on multi-year smart TV updates).

Verdict

The Xiaomi S Pro Mini LED 2026 series is the most value-competitive flagship TV lineup of 2026 in Xiaomi's active markets. 5,200 nits peak brightness, 330Hz gaming mode, and 98-inch at $2,799 are specs that beat name-brand competitors at significantly lower cost. Against Samsung Neo QLED QN95D and Hisense UR9, Xiaomi wins on price and size availability; it loses on US support and processor AI features. For the target regional buyer, this is the new default pick.
