Within the past two years, Realme has vastly expanded its portfolio to take on its arch-nemesis – Xiaomi. It started off with smartphones but has since branched into audio products, wearables, and other accessories. Today, the Chinese giant has set foot into the smart TV segment, currently dominated by Mi TVs, with the launch of the Realme Smart TV. It comes in two sizes, 32-inch and 43-inch, to boot and is loaded with features to the brim.

Let me start off by saying that the Realme Smart TV lineup is launching only with an HD-ready 32-inch and Full-HD 43-inch model. It’s merely the resolution that’s different in both variants while the rest of the specifications remain the same. Realme plans to launch more screen sizes, possibly bigger ones with 4K resolution support, in the future.

Design and Display

Right off the bat, one thing about the Realme Smart TV that will stand out to you is the premium-looking bezel-less design. It’s an LED-backlit panel with bezels as thin as 8.7mm at the top and around the sides, as per the press release. The bottom bezel is slightly thicker to accommodate the Realme logo but the TV looks quite appealing. You can either prop up the Realme Smart TV or wall-mount it, depends on your liking.

  • Internals

Under the hood, Realme Smart TV is powered by a quad-core 64-bit MediaTek chipset (featuring ARM Cortex A53 CPU, clocked at up to 1.1GHz) and Mali-470 MP3 GPU. There’s 1GB of 2133MHz RAM and 8GB of built-in storage board both the TVs. This seems a bit less in comparison to other smart TVs in this segment usually include up to 2GB RAM and 16GB storage.

  • Connectivity

Speaking of the ports, the placement looks the same across both the variants. Realme Smart TV includes 3x HDMI, 2x USB, 1x Ethernet, 1x SPDIF, 1x AV port, 1x antenna in port, and a 3.5mm audio jack.

Connectivity

You can obviously see quick buttons for Netflix, YouTube, and Prime Video sitting toward the bottom. There’s also the input source selection button next to it, which will come in handy when you want to switch to your local cable connection.

The 32-inch Realme Smart TV is priced at Rs. 12,999 whereas the 43-inch variant will see you shell out Rs. 21,999 for the larger screen and higher resolution. Both of these smart TVs will go on sale starting from 2nd June on Flipkart and Realme’s website.
