Xiaomi once again proves that it can shake up the market. The new Xiaomi S Pro Mini LED TV 2026 is a television that has everything we associate with the premium segment — a massive 98-inch 4K Mini LED panel, 5700 nits of brightness, as many as 3864 local dimming zones, 165 Hz refresh rate, and full support for Dolby Vision and HDR10+. In short: it looks like a top model from Hisense or TCL, but costs… less than half of what they charge for their flagships.

For comparison — Hisense U8Q 100” in the UK costs £5,299, which is more than three times as much. Of course, in Europe, one cannot count on such a low price – transport, margins, and potential tariffs will be added (especially in the USA, where Donald Trump's government maintained high tariffs). But even if the Xiaomi S Pro Mini LED 2026 were to arrive in Europe for 13–14 thousand PLN, it would still be the cheapest 98-inch Mini LED in the premium class.
XM900 Processor, Art Mode, 330Hz
On paper, this equipment has almost no weak points. The 4K 165 Hz panel can operate even in 330 Hz mode at a lower resolution, making it suitable for gaming. The television supports VRR, AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, has three HDMI 2.1 ports, USB 2.0/3.0, Wi-Fi 6, and Bluetooth 5.2. The whole setup is powered by the XM900 processor, known from last year’s Xiaomi flagships, and the sound is provided by seven speakers in a 2.1.2 configuration with Harman AudioEFX technology and AI Sound Enhancement algorithms. For dessert – something in the style of Art Mode known from Samsung The Frame, so the screen can display works of art when you are not watching films.
Will it make it to Europe?
All of this contributes to the picture of a television that could turn the market upside down — if only it were to venture beyond China. Xiaomi doesn't always export its best models, but if the S Pro Mini LED 2026 makes it to Europe, it could pose a serious threat to the position of the TCL C8K or Hisense U8Q. And perhaps for the first time in history, a 98-inch 4K screen will become available to the average home cinema enthusiast.
