The Xiaomi TV S Pro Mini LED series (2026 edition) has officially made its global debut, bringing advanced display technology and powerful performance features to international markets. However, a closer look reveals that the global models come with notable differences compared to the Chinese versions. Below is an in-depth breakdown of design, specifications, features, and market positioning.

- Sizes available globally: 55-inch, 65-inch, 75-inch, and 85-inch variants.
The large-format models (75-inch and 85-inch) particularly benefit from a sturdier dual-leg stand design for stability.
