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

Pinterest files for IPO, but avoids calling itself a social network

The latest Silicon Valley company to file for an initial public offering is Pinterest , the San Francisco-based social network and image board that in recent years has built a large advertising and commerce business from its growing user base. The company, although it is still not profitable, says it earned more than $750 million in revenue last year, and it’s cut its losses from nearly $200 million in 2016 down to just under $75 million annually. Pinterest says it was in fact profitable in the fourth quarter of 2018, but not profitable enough to get out of the red for the full calendar year. The company, headed up by original co-founder and CEO Ben Silbermann, plans to go public on the New York Stock Exchange. It joins ride-hailing giants Uber and Lyft , on-demand delivery company Postmates , workplace communications platform Slack , and hotel and short-term home rental service Airbnb as one of the handful of Silicon Valley companies said to...

Apple records first-ever accident in self-driving car programme

The self-driving car was rear-ended while merging onto an expressway near the company’s Silicon Valley headquarters New York: An Apple Inc self-driving car was rear-ended while merging onto an expressway near the company’s Silicon Valley headquarters this month, the company said in an accident report posted on Friday that confirmed the iPhone maker is still in the race to build autonomous vehicles. Apple executives have never publicly spoken about the company’s self-driving car programme, but filings in a criminal court case last month confirmed that the company had at least 5,000 employees working on the project and that it was working on circuit boards and a “proprietary chip” related to self-driving cars. Apple is entering a crowded field where rivals such as Alphabet Inc’s Waymo unit and traditional carmakers such as General Motors Co’s Cruise Automation, as well as startups such as Silicon Valley’s Zoox, are pouring billions of dollars into cars that can drive the...

Huawei Employee Reportedly Reveals Android P Name, And It’s Not What You Think

It’s that time of the year when the world speculates on which dessert will be used as the name for the next Android version. While there have been several easter eggs and hints about Android P’s official name, there’s no clarity on what it might actually be called. According a report by Tabeltowo , a Huawei employee might have just leaked the full name of Android P as Android Pistachio. During a live chat with a customer, the Huawei support staff clearly said Android Pistachio in relation to a query about software updates in Poland, as seen in the image below: While simply Pistachio might not make sense to most people, considering the fact that Google is known for naming its Android version after desserts, a previous report might help. Back in February, Bloomberg had reported that Android P would be called Android Pistachio Ice Cream which makes more sense than just Pistachio. But we are sure you have other P-themed desserts in mind for...
