You may have a hard time picking the winner between Xiaomi TV A2 and Xiaomi TV P1. Overall, both of these smart TVs are very similar and reliable. But there are a few important differences between them that you should learn before buying them.
Xiaomi TV P1 was launched in October 2021 while the Xiaomi TV A2 was launched in September 2022. Hence, the Xiaomi TV A2 is newer than the P1.



Both of these Xiaomi TV models are Android TV and are available in three similar sizes too, which are
32”43”55” (P1) and 58” (A2)
Let’s compare each of these TV models one by one to see which one is the best.

As you can see from the comparison table above, there’s no significant difference between Xiaomi TV A2 32” and  Xiaomi TV P1 32” in terms of display quality. Both are 720p HD resolution and 16.7M colour depth.
But the Xiaomi TV A2 32” is priced at RM770, which is RM130 more expensive than the Xiaomi TV P1 32”, RM640. That represents a 20% price hike from Xiaomi TV P1 32”.
The Xiaomi TV A2 32” has a slightly better and louder speaker than the Xiaomi TV P1 32”, 2 x 10W compared to 2 x 5W.
Then, the Xiaomi TV A2” also has a better CPU and GPU compared to Xiaomi TV P1 32”.
It is surprising that Xiaomi TV P1 32″ has a total of 3 HDMI ports, and 1 additional HDMI port over Xiaomi TV A2 32”.
With a 32″ TV, a slightly louder speaker and a better processor don’t make much difference to the overall viewing experience. 
Hence, I would recommend buying the Xiaomi TV P1 32” as it is cheaper and does not compromise too much on the picture quality.

The Xiaomi TV A2 43” is almost identical to Xiaomi TV P1 43” except that it is only FHD and cheaper, while the Xiaomi TV P1 43” is using a 4K display.
In addition, the Xiaomi TV A2 43″ supports Dolby Audio, DTS-X, and DTS Virtual:X Sound better than the Xiaomi TV P1 43”.
Most importantly, Xiaomi TV A2 43″  is selling for RM925, almost RM400 cheaper than Xiaomi TV P1 43”’s RM1299.
Bear in mind that, 4K resolution is not always better than FHD, it depends on the viewing distance as well as the size of the TV.

For a TV size of 43”, if your viewing distance from TV is more than 2 meters, then 4K and FHD display has very little difference to human’s naked eyes, you can read further of the study done by rtings.com.
In addition, most of the video content we have access to is only in 1080p. So, you should think twice before investing in a 4K TV if you have a tight budget 
Here, I think the Xiaomi TV A2 43″ FHD is the better TV because it is much cheaper and its display quality is good enough for most people

The specifications of the Xiaomi TV A2 58″ and Xiaomi TV P1 55″ are almost the same, except that the screen size of the Xiaomi A2 is bigger. Both of them are 4K TVs and have great colours.
The Xiaomi TV P1 55″ has a slightly better colour gamut with DCI-P3 94% compared to Xiaomi TV A2 58″’s DCI-P3 90%. The difference is negligible.
Both are running the latest Android TV 10, so there’s no need for buying a TV box.
In this case, the right TV choice is entirely up to the individual’s preferences and the size of the house.
For most people, bigger TV always resulted in a better viewing experience. So, I would recommend Xiaomi TV A2 58” over Xiaomi TV P1 55”.

Verdict
For the 32” TV model, the Xiaomi TV P1 32” is the clear winner. Both Xiaomi TV P1 32” and Xiaomi TV A2 32” have 720p resolution and similar colour quality. So, there’s no need to pay extra, users should stick to Xiaomi TV P1 32” which is cheaper.
For the 43” TV model, the Xiaomi TV A2 43” FHD is better value for money since most of us will place the TV 2 meters apart from the sofa. And we don’t normally stream video in 4K quality either.
In the battle between Xiaomi TV A2 58” vs Xiaomi TV A2 55”, I would recommend buying the bigger Xiaomi TV A2 because both TVs have very similar hardware. In spite of this, the larger screen size often led to a better viewing experience for users.
