There are many TV’s for the customers to choose from brands like Xiaomi, Realme, OnePlus, TCL, Vu and even Nokia. In all these brands Xiaomi stood out with more percentage of TVs sold.
The AmazonBasics Fire TV will be competing with the entry range 4K smart TVs. The screen size of the two is 50-inches and 55-inches with both having UltraHD LED Screen(3840 x 2160 pixels).
