Top 5 Budget Smart TVs of the year 2018

Xiaomi Mi LED TV 4A Pro (49-inch)

Our favorite budget smart TV of the year 2018 has to be the Xiaomi Mi LED TV 4A Pro. Priced at Rs. 29,999, the 49-inch smart TV from Xiaomi runs on the Android 8.0 and is super easy to use, thanks to its Android UI and super easy Bluetooth enabled remote control. The OS is very well customized and you won't feel that you are interacting with a budget TV. Mi LED TV 4A is the first 49-inch variant in the company's Mi TV range and brings forward the upgraded Patchwall OS, which is company's in-house CDE (Content Discovery Engine).

The CDE offers 700,000+ hours of entertainment from 15+ sources. The TV also supports voice commands which actually work unlike the half-baked features on some other budget smart TVs. The TV cannot run Amazon Prime Video and Netflix for now, which is a big letdown. Xiaomi is working to rope in the two widely popular content providers but we cannot tell when it will happen.

Kodak 55UHDX

Another good option in the budget Smart TV category is the massive 55-inches Smart LED TV from Kodak. The 55-inch 4K UHD Smart TV runs on Smart TV OS (System Android Version 5.1.1) that offers a new user interface for easy navigation. The TV is capable of running the widely popular and the most loved media streaming apps- Netflix and Amazon Prime. Priced at Rs. 34,999, the 55-inch smart TV sports a Samsung made panel that offers a resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels.

As far as other important specifications are concerned, it is powered by a quad-core 1.5 GHz Cortex A53 processor paired with 1GB RAM for smooth operation. The TV has an internal storage of 8GB that allows you to download media content via apps such as Amazon Prime and Netflix.
