Xiaomi isn’t abandoning the Mi TV 4 55 just yet, PatchWall 3.0 now rolling

In an interesting turn of events, Xiaomi on Tuesday announced that it’s ready to roll out PatchWall 3.0 for its first smart Mi TV, aka the 55-inch Mi TV 4, in India. The announcement comes just a few days after it was revealed that the Mi TV 4 55 will not receive any official Android TV update, leading to speculations that the product might have reached its end of life, just two years after launch. Turns out, Xiaomi isn’t abandoning the Mi TV 4 55 just yet.

Xiaomi took to its official Mi TV India Twitter page to confirm that it is rolling out the PatchWall 3.0 update along with 16+ content partners for the Mi TV 4 55 starting today. To recall, Xiaomi had started rolling out the PatchWall 3.0 update for “eligible” Mi TVs from April 6. The reason why all of this is interesting is because the Mi TV 4 55 wasn’t included in the original list of eligible Mi TVs. Be that as it may, software updates aren’t chalked out overnight, and chances are Xiaomi might not have been ready to reveal details that it was still working on during the initial announcement, which is possibly why the Mi TV 4 55 wasn’t on the list of Mi TVs eligible for the PatchWall 3.0 update.
