Xiaomi will soon add Voiceprint support to Mi TV 5 series

Earlier today, Xiaomi confirmed that it is currently testing an interesting feature for its newly announced Mi TV 5 series. The company will soon add support for voice print on the new Mi TV 5 models. We don’t have an exact date for the update, but it should be rolled out soon.

Voice print will make Mi TV 5’s experience highly personal. With support for voice print, the Mi TV 5 will be able to recognize each user with his or her unique voice. Imagine a situation where you could call out to your TV and it would immediately recognize your profile and show up your personalized content and recommendations. Another good example is when you can simply say ‘continue with the previous video’ and the TV will automatically playback the video that you were last playing. It’s just like a fingerprint profile but for voice.

The Mi TV 5 comes in regular and Pro variants, featuring 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage to ensure smooth performance. As usual, this new Smart TV from Xiaomi comes with the company’s own Patch Wall user interface. It also comes with features like Dolby Audio and DTS HD Sound. There are three models in the Pro lineup. The 55-inch model starts at 3,699 Yuan which roughly converts to $537 US. On the other hand, the 65-inch and 75-inch model costs 4,999 Yuan and 9,999 Yuan that roughly converts to $713 US and $1,425 US respectively. The standard Mi TV 5’s 55-inch model costs 2,999 Yuan (~$428 US) while the 65-inch and 75-inch models are priced at 3,999 Yuan (~$571 US) and 7,999 Yuan (~$1,142 US) respectively.
