MANILA — For smaller spaces like a kid&#x27;s bedroom, a 55-inch TV might be overkill. But a 32-inch TV, like the one being offered in Xiaomi&#x27;s latest series of TV sets, may just be the right fit.  In case you didn&#x27;t know, Xiaomi has been quietly expanding its offerings from smartphones to consumer electronics and even autos.One of the latest offerings from the tech brand is a new set of smart TVs dubbed the Xiaomi TV A 2026. These TVs range from the 65-inch and 55-inch models, which deliver 4K resolution and a refresh rate of up to 120Hz, to the smaller 43-inch and 32-inch models that are HD.<div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1756317885976XIAOMI TV CAT EDITED.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/>The Xiaomi TV A 32 2026 fits in our spare bedroom. Arthur Fuentes, ABS-CBN News</div>I was offered to test the 65-inch model of the new series, but since we lived in a small condo and we already had a 55-inch TV, there was nowhere to put the test TV. The 32-inch model, meanwhile, seemed like just the right TV for our spare, smaller bedroom.It’s a decent-looking QLED TV, with a sleek metal finish and thin bezels. The resolution is 1366 x 768, which makes it better than the standard 720p, but not quite the full HD of 1080p. It has 1GB of RAM and 8GB of ROM, and stereo speakers with Dolby Audio, DTS:X and DTS Virtual:X. While this TV size may seem small for current standards, it still packs a lot of features–the main one being that it is powered by Google TV. As someone who has been on a proprietary TV platform for several years now, using Google TV was a refreshing change.It comes preloaded with all the popular streaming apps like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, HBO Max and of course YouTube. But it’s also pretty easy to install new apps on TV. I searched for iWant on the Google TV app library, and it was there. Anime fans will also love that it’s got Crunchyroll. There’s also Xiaomi TV+ which connects to several live channels across the world, organized according to content preference like Sports, Entertainment, Music, etc.<div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1756317972234xiaomi tv apps.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/>The Xiaomi TV A 32 2026 runs on the Google TV platform and comes preloaded with some of the most popular streaming apps. Arthur Fuentes, ABS-CBN News</div>If you want to watch the news, you can subscribe to iWant, which already carries the ANC, Kapamilya, and Teleradyo channels.Because this is Google TV, the Google Assistant is baked into the platform, which means you can control the TV with your voice, using the TV remote as a mic. Press the mic button, tell the TV to search for your favorite show, like Dragonball Z, and it will do that for you–well, at least most of the time.I’ve been playing around with the voice controls, and it really saves you a lot of time, especially when you’re searching for a particular show or movie–you don’t have to awkwardly navigate the onscreen keyboard anymore.  However, the voice control isn’t perfect, and it can sometimes fail to recognize what you said and return something totally different.Speaking of the remote–it’s very well designed. It already has buttons for some of the most common streaming platforms, and the clickwheel-like navigation buttons mean that you can use them by feel–no need to look at what you’re pressing. <div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1756318065315xiaomi tv remote.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/>The Xiaomi TV A 32 2026&#x27;s remote uses Bluetooth and has buttons for the most popular streaming apps. It can also be used as a mic to voice-control the TV. Arthur Fuentes, ABS-CBN News </div>The remote also connects to the TV via Bluetooth instead of IR. This means you don’t even need to aim the remote at the TV when you want to change channels or adjust the volume. TV manufacturers should have switched to Bluetooth a long time ago.Connecting it to our wifi was relatively easy. Linking it with my Google account was also a breeze. And if you use your Gmail account to link to your streaming apps, the TV will sync these apps so you can start watching your show right where you left off on another device.  Connecting to free TV channels, however, isn’t as easy. You will probably need an antenna to access analog channels, or a set-top box and tuner for digital channels. But it has plenty of ports: 2 HDMI, 1 USB, 1 Ethernet and 1 Composite In AV port.In terms of sound, it’s got two 10W speakers, which are of decent quality, though a bit lacking in bass. If I was buying this, I would pair it with a soundbar with subwoofers to give its sound a bit more punch for those action or thriller movies.I wish they could have upped the resolution to a 1080p, but for its price, this 32-inch TV is a steal. The Xiaomi TV A Pro 32 2026 has an early bird promo price of P6,799 from Aug. 28 to Sept. 12, down from an SRP of 7,899.

While its size may seem small for current standards, it still packs a lot of features–the main one being that it is powered by Google TV.
