We can expect to hear more about this integration at Xiaomi’s ecosystem event, which should happen next month. It’s where the company unveils the next-gen Mi Band, new smart TVs, and expands on its IoT portfolio in India. We haven’t seen many new Mi TV launches in the country this year and this event could be a great opportunity to add an enormous amount of content to their platform.
JioCinema, for those uninformed, is Reliance Jio’s on-demand video streaming platform with over 1 lakh hours of content. It’s ad-free and includes Indian, regional, as well as international content. This includes premium content, new movies releases and popular television originals. The JioCinema app also supports voice search, offline mode, video quality selector, and many more smart features.
The integration of JioCinema into Mi TV’s PatchWall UI, which is now more of a launcher than a custom OS as Xiaomi has moved to Android TV, means you will have access to a myriad of fresh content on the large screen at your house. Excited much? Let us know down in the comments section.
