Xiaomi Mi TV 4A 40-Inch Model With Voice Control Support Launched

The new 40-inch Mi TV 4A model is priced at CNY 1,699 (about Rs. 17,500)

Users can control the TV with the remote control

It has 1.5GHz processor, 1GB RAM, and 8GB internal storage

Xiaomi has added another model to its Mi TV 4A series of smart TVs in its home market, complete with voice control, enhanced audio, and a thin design. The new Mi TV 4A model sports a 40-inch full-HD (1920x1080 pixel) panel and is positioned between the 32-inch and 50-inch models of the series. The Mi TV 4A series - as well as the 4C - offer television models with thin bezels and smart TV features at affordable prices compared to Xiaomi's flagship Mi TV 4 range, which was launched in India just 2 weeks ago.

The new Xiaomi Mi TV 4A 40-inch model has direct type backlight, 178-degree, refresh rate of 60Hz, 5000:1 static contrast ratio, and 8ms dynamic response. Connectivity suite of the new TV consists of Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.2 + LE, USB (2), HDMI (2), AV (1), analogue signal DTMB (1), and Ethernet. It has two 8W speakers with Dolby and DTS enhancements.

Coming to the key features, the new Mi TV 4A 40-inch model supports voice control, so buyers can use the remote with built-in mic to give commands such as "shut down after 10 minutes," or "fast forward to 54 minutes and 21 seconds" to control certain functions without pressing a single button. It is based on the Android-Based Patchwall UI that the company uses in its other TVs.

As for the specifications, the new Mi TV 4A model packs the 64-bit 1.5GHz Amlogic L962-H8X processor and 750MHz Mali 450 GPU with 1GB RAM, and comes with 8GB of internal storage. In China, the new model is priced at CNY 1,699 (roughly Rs. 17,500).

A new Mi TV 4A model is also expected to launch in India on Wednesday as Xiaomi has been teasing the launch of a low-cost TV in the country. However, it is not clear whether it will be the new 40-inch model that the company brings to the market or the smaller 32-inch variant of the same series. A separate model, the 43-inch Mi TV 4C, was also spotted last week on the official Xiaomi India website with Rs. 27,999 price tag

WhatsApp's chief business officer Neeraj Arora quits

Neerja Arora , WhatsApp ’s chief business officer, is the latest Facebook executive to step down the facebook cluster of companies in the last few months. In a Facebook post , Arora said he is “going to be taking some time off to recharge and spend time with family,” and thanked WhatsApp co-founders Jan Koum and Brian Acton. Koum stepped down as WhatsApp CEO earlier this year over disagreements with Facebook executives over privacy and encryption. Acton had left WhatsApp a year ago, in September 2017, to start his own non-profit. However, a few months later, he urged people to #deletefacebook on his Twitter account. The co-founders’ departure reportedly boiled down to disagreements over the monetization options for WhatsApp which has been anti-ads since the beginning. It is time. #deletefacebook — Brian Acton (@brianacton) March 20, 2018 Arora had been with WhatsApp since 2011, when the company was just two years old. He was with the...

Musk's new pay deal could make him the world's richest man—if Tesla succeeds

It is the Elon Musk of corporate pay deals, a cocksure, all-or-nothing moonshot into history. Little wonder, then, that it is for none other than Elon Musk. Tesla Inc. granted the billionaire founder a $2.6 billion award, the largest-ever of its kind, underscoring the company's outsize ambitions and how intimately connected its future success is to Musk. If fully vested over a decade, stock options would net him as much as $55.8 billion. Along the way, nothing would be guaranteed -- zero salary or cash bonuses. The audacious award outlines a plan for Tesla to become one of the world's biggest companies, which would make Musk perhaps the richest man on the planet in the process, but without as detailed a road map to get there as was provided with his last award. This, too, is very Musk-like -- set big-picture, moonshot end goals, particulars be damned. "It's breathtaking both in size and in terms of performance required to earn it," Steven Hall...

Camera comparison: Huawei P30 Pro vs S10+, iPhone XS, Pixel 3, Mi 9, Mate 20 Pro

Huawei's been bringing us some of the most meaningful camera innovations in smartphones over the past few years, experimenting with monochrome modules, image stacking, and night mode, off the top of our heads. The Huawei P30 Pro is now official and it's got a new trick up its sleeve - a periscope telephoto camera. We've had the chances to review the P30 Pro and you can read all of our findings in the in-depth review here. But the novel camera tech prompted us to do a more in-depth comparison against the other big names on the market. While at it, we figured we shouldn't limit ourselves just to zoomed in shots, because let's face it <br /> - no other phone has a 5x zoom camera. Hence, this shootout. The lineup for this comparison includes the Samsung Galaxy S10+, which comes with an ultra wide camera, and it's wider than the P30 Pro's but lacks autofocus. As is very much the norm (which Huawei aims to break), the Galaxy's telephoto ...
