Xiaomi is set to unveil a new smart TV in India. The company has listed a new device called "Mi LED Smart TV 4C 43" on its official website. The listing, however, is without the details about the specifications of the smart TV.

According to the listing, Xiaomi's Mi LED Smart TV 4C 43 will be available at a discounted price of ₹27,999 (approximately 15% discount on the original price of ₹32,999). The name of the device indicates it will have a 43-inch screen size and follow the ultra-slim profile of Mi LED Smart TV 4, Xiaomi's first smart TV which debuted in India last month with an aggressive price tag of ₹39,999.

The listing follows Xiaomi VP Manu Kumar Jain's tweet in which he had said, ""Mi fans! Something new is coming to India! It's time to switch to something smarter, slimmer and sleeker. Coming soon."

The tweet, however, triggered speculation that the company is going to launch the much anticipated Mi TV box, a 4K Android TV set-top-box with HDR video support. Similar to Apple TV, the box allows users to watch content from the OTT players like Netflix. The device is currently available in India via online marketplaces like ebay India for roughly ₹7,000.
