Design & Connectivity
The X Pro Series adopts a minimal, bezel-less design that's clearly intended to blend into various home environments — from compact bedrooms to open-plan living spaces. While the aesthetic feels a bit too safe, it remains elegant and unintrusive.
On the hardware front, it includes 32GB of internal storage, which is more than most in its class. Connectivity is generous too: 3 HDMI ports (including one with eARC), 2 USB ports, Ethernet, AV input, and Bluetooth — covering all your external device needs.
We tested the 65-inch variant, which is ideally suited for living rooms and large entertainment spaces. The immersion is excellent at this size. However, if you're working with a smaller area or secondary room, Xiaomi also offers a 55-inch version — packing the same performance in a more compact footprint.
AV Quality
At the heart of the experience is the 4K QLED panel, which delivers vivid colors, deep contrasts, and crisp detail. From animated adventures to cinematic thrillers, it holds its own admirably.
One standout is the Filmmaker Mode — a feature usually seen in higher-end TVs. It strips away unnecessary post-processing, giving you a more faithful, director-intended experience. Not everyone will love it — some may miss the glossy enhancements — but for purists, it's gold.
However, you do get more modes here like gaming all of which utilises the TVs prowess efficiently.
Visuals aside, Xiaomi's taken audio seriously too. The X Pro Series features integrated Xiaomi Sound paired with 34W box speakers, bolstered by DTS:X, DTS Virtual:X, and Dolby Audio. The result? Whether you're watching a high-octane chase or a quiet documentary, dialogues remain clear, and the spatial sound adds real atmosphere.
Software
Xiaomi continues to differentiate itself with its content-first ecosystem. The X Pro supports PatchWall and Xiaomi TV+, offering live TV channels, curated recommendations, and easy content discovery. Kids Mode brings parental controls and age-appropriate filters, while Google Assistant integration makes it easy to control the TV with your voice.
For content streaming, it includes Google Cast, Miracast, and Apple AirPlay 2, making it versatile across Android and Apple ecosystems.
All the features work smoothly across the smart TV.
The new Xiaomi remote deserves credit for its thoughtful upgrades. It includes dedicated buttons for popular streaming apps, a mute button, and quick access to Google TV and PatchWall. Voice commands via Google Assistant are smooth, and the remote also features DVB-T2 buttons — currently inactive in India but included for future compatibility with free-to-air standards.
And here's where it gets interesting — Xiaomi has integrated a chip that lets users access free-to-air channels in compliance with the Indian government's DTH mandate, making it one of the first to future-proof on this front.
Verdict
The Xiaomi X Pro QLED TV is more than just a budget pick — it's a smart, feature-rich product that respects the user experience. From vibrant QLED visuals and immersive sound, to forward-thinking software and smart regulatory compliance, it's one of the most well-rounded TVs in its price bracket.
While the design could use a bit more flair, the core package is strong, refined, and smartly aligned with how modern Indian households consume content today.

Exicom Q1 FY26: Navigating a Soft Quarter with Clear Momentum for the Road Ahead
GURUGRAM, India, Aug. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Exicom Tele-Systems Limited (NSE: EXICOM), one of India's leading EV charging and critical power solutions manufacturers, today announced its financial results for the first quarter of FY26, reporting a consolidated revenue of INR 205.3 Crore, an EBITDA margin of –18.8% and adjusted PAT of INR –71.1 crore. On a standalone basis, the company recorded an adjusted PAT of INR 1.1 Crore. While revenue growth this quarter was measured, Exicom entered the second quarter of FY26 with a robust order book exceeding INR 1,500 Crore. "We recognize that this quarter's performance has not met expectations, but it also does not reflect the full potential of the company or the strength of our pipeline. We are seeing visible momentum and clear signs of progress. In India, the steady rise in EV sales points to a stronger outlook for our charging business, and with Bharat Net deliveries now underway, we expect increased revenue contributions from Q2 onwards. Tritium has been a strategic investment for us to build global presence and revenue streams. Although the business is taking longer to turn around, there are positive lead indicators including growing customer confidence in its new portfolio," said Anant Nahata, Managing Director and CEO, Exicom. Strategic Highlights and Business Updates EVSE Business India's four-wheeler EV market gathered momentum, with monthly sales topping ~13,000 units for four consecutive months. Supportive policies are expected to further lift demand ahead of the festive season, creating the strongest tailwinds we have seen in recent quarters. This is already reflecting in our business, with Harmony Direct 2.0, our advanced DC fast charger launched last quarter, building a robust pipeline. Five out of the top 8 EV customers have already transitioned fully to this differentiated product. On the home charging front, Exicom's Spin Air continued to gain traction through ecommerce and B2B channels, with the company delivering over 15000 chargers across geographies. A key highlight was robust year-on -year growth in Southeast Asia sales across four new customers. Exicom also signed its first-ever framework agreement with one of SEA's largest clean energy players, with an expected deal value of nearly USD 6 million over the next 2 years. Tritium Update While Tritium's financial performance is yet to catch up, there are positive leading indicators, including improved customer satisfaction, rising service revenues and order pipeline. Customer adoption is also strengthening, with more than 700 Tritium chargers deployed across the US, Europe and ANZ since January this year. The company is also in advanced discussions with key industry players on some of the largest EV charging opportunities in the sector. The Tri-Flex DC fast charger, a key part of Tritium's global product strategy, has secured new customers, with the first deployment planned with a UK-based CPO later this year. Cutting cash losses is one of our top priorities. Alongside these efforts, we are deeply focused on cost optimization and accelerating revenue conversions. Critical Power Business The Critical Power segment achieved lower-than-expected revenue in Q1, largely owing to delays in key projects. Execution of the Bharat Net project, which had faced delays due to project-level approvals and monsoons, has now commenced and is set to start contributing to the topline from Q2 onwards. Some of the battery projects expected to be delivered in Q1 also got deferred to Q2. On a positive note, the business secured significant wins in the Middle East and Africa and is on track to achieve its highest-ever international revenue this year. Future outlook The upcoming milestone of Hyderabad manufacturing plant remains on track to start operations by October 2025. Talking about the ongoing financial year, Anant Nahata further added, "Although this quarter was not up to the mark, we remain confident on our efforts and growth trajectory. Strong industry tailwinds, a differentiated EVSE portfolio, and solid operational momentum in our telecom and critical power businesses position us strongly for what we expect to be a strong year for EVSE and a promising year for critical power. As a team, we are fully engaged and working with intent to deliver on the guidance shared in Q4 FY25. While we know there is work ahead, we believe we have the right foundations to achieve it. The strong shareholder support in our recent rights issue is an encouraging vote of confidence in our direction." About Exicom Exicom is one of India's leading EV charging and Critical Power solutions manufacturer, present across the entire EV charger value chain with a host of products across both AC & DC charger segments and is spear heading India's transition to sustainable transportation while ensuring the smooth functioning of critical infrastructure. With a wealth of expertise across its divisions, Exicom's critical power solutions serve as the backbone of communication networks, delivering uninterrupted power supplies crucial for telecom infrastructure. With a footprint spanning India, Southeast Asia, Middle East, US, Europe and over 1,50,000 chargers installed worldwide, Exicom is at the forefront of shaping the global EV charging landscape.
