| Xiaomi’s TV S Mini LED 2026 has arrived in Europe |
Xiaomi is kicking off the European spring with a bang. The tech giant has officially launched its latest television lineup, the Xiaomi TV S Mini LED 2026 series, across several key markets in the region. Following a quiet appearance on the brand’s global website earlier this year, the 2026 models are now stepping into the spotlight—and onto living room walls—from Spain to Germany.
If you have been holding out for a TV that balances next-generation display technology with Xiaomi’s signature aggressive pricing, this might be the upgrade you have been waiting for.
Pricing, Sizes, and a Launch Discount
The new S series is available now on Xiaomi’s official online stores in the Netherlands, Spain, Italy, and Germany. As expected, Xiaomi is offering a wide gamut of sizes to suit different spaces and budgets:
- 55-inch: €599
- 65-inch: €799
- 75-inch: €999
- 85-inch: €1,499
- 98-inch: €2,299
For those looking at the absolute top end of the scale, Xiaomi has provided a dedicated product page for the massive 98-inch variant. You can check out the full specifications for the biggest model in the lineup directly here.
Early Bird Alert: Shoppers in the Netherlands and Italy are in for an extra treat right now. Xiaomi is currently offering discounts of up to €100 off the retail price, making the jump to Mini LED even more tempting.
A Tale of Two Panels: Mini LED Brilliance
While all the models share the "TV S Mini LED 2026" namesake, there is a distinct split in features between the smaller and larger screens, meaning buyers will want to pay close attention to which size they choose.
All televisions in the range utilize 4K QD-Mini LED technology, boasting a resolution of 3,840 x 2,160 pixels. This panel technology allows for tighter control over local dimming, resulting in deeper blacks and higher peak brightness. Xiaomi claims the series can hit up to 1,200 nits of brightness, ensuring content remains vibrant even in well-lit rooms. Furthermore, the lineup covers 94% of the DCI-P3 color gamut, promising rich and accurate colors.
The Size Breakpoint: 60Hz vs. 144Hz
Here is where the lineup diverges significantly.
The 55-inch, 65-inch, and 75-inch models are tailored for the general viewer. They feature a 60Hz refresh rate and support high dynamic range formats like HDR10+ and HLG. These are perfect for streaming Netflix, watching YouTube, and general entertainment.
However, if you are a gamer or a sports enthusiast, your eyes will be drawn to the 85-inch and 98-inch variants. These larger screens are equipped with a buttery-smooth 144Hz refresh rate. This higher frame rate ensures that fast-moving action—whether it is a Formula 1 race or a next-gen console game—looks fluid and tear-free. Crucially, these larger models also add support for Dolby Vision, taking the HDR experience to the next level.
Under the Hood: Google TV and Connectivity
Regardless of size, every TV in the S Mini LED 2026 series runs on Google TV. This provides a clean, intuitive interface that aggregates content from your streaming subscriptions. It comes ready to use with Google Assistant for voice control, Google Cast for beaming content from your phone, and Apple AirPlay for seamless integration with Apple devices.
On the audio front, Xiaomi has integrated dual 15W speakers (totaling 30W) that support Dolby Atmos, aiming to create a virtual surround sound experience without the need for a soundbar. The inclusion of MEMC (Motion Estimation, Motion Compensation) technology also helps smooth out fast-moving sequences across the board.
Connectivity: Future-Proofing the Big Screens
Reflecting the different target audiences, the port selection varies by size:
- The 55", 65", and 75" models come with Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 5.0. They feature two HDMI 2.0 ports and one HDMI 2.1 port.
- The 85" and 98" models are more future-proofed, sporting Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2 for faster wireless speeds. They also boast three HDMI 2.1 ports, allowing gamers to connect multiple next-gen consoles or high-end PCs simultaneously without swapping cables.
UK Availability Still a Mystery
For now, Xiaomi has focused its European launch on the continent. There is currently no confirmed release date for the Xiaomi TV S Mini LED 2026 range in the United Kingdom. UK fans will likely have to wait for a separate regional announcement later in the year.
With its blend of Mini LED technology, massive size options, and wallet-friendly price tags, the 2026 S series is poised to be a serious contender in the mid-range and large-format TV market this spring.
