RUNTO Technology published its analysis on Chinese smart TV shipments for Q3 2024. The report described that China’s TV sector is seeing a major decline this time, compared to the last year same period. It has dropped by 6.6% in sales.

The market has sold 8.115 million branded TV sets in the third quarter of 2024, which isn’t a good reach. Combining the TV sales of all three quarters this year, the shipments decreased by 5% year-on-year (24.505 million units sold in three quarters).

Despite a decline, Huawei has been the best performer in Q3 2024 Chinese smart TV shipments. The company sold around 300000 units in the last quarter.

This is ultimately an increase of 50% YoY in the company’s smart TV sales. RUNTO analysts mentioned that Huawei offline stores have sold the most number of smart TVs as of September. The sales have contributed to substantial growth this year.

Apart from Huawei, the report ranks seven brands as the top TV vendors in China. These are Hisense, Xiaomi, TCL, Skyworth, Changhong, Konka, and Haier.

Foreign brands like Sony, Samsung, and Philips are also lagging in this race. They scored a combined market share of less than 5% and struggling to rise in the market.

Huawei has recently launched new smart TV models one after the other in the Chinese market. The latest one is the Smart TV V5 Max 110-inch which delivers a theatre-like feel to users. The device supports HarmonyOS 4.5 and various other features.

Looking into the teaser, the image shows a narrowest-bezel giant screen. It seems more of a wall-mounted TV but one can opt for the stand as per their preference.

Apart from the launch announcement, the poster doesn’t share any specs or key features of the smart TV. The company might keep these details a secret till the official unveiling. By that time, let’s have a look at some previous revelations.

HarmonyOS 4.4 hints that Huawei could either introduce a separate OS for its smart TVs or may bring a small improvements update before the official release of the HarmonyOS NEXT. But it’s better to take this leak with a grain of salt for now.

Weibo tipster @UncleKanshan says that the Huawei Smart TV S5 Pro will use four speakers as standard. This means all models of this TV line may use four speakers.

Most of the Huawei Smart TVs including the Vision 4 have four speakers only for the largest screen size variant. Even the standard S5 TV has four speakers for the 75-inch model while two speaker units for the 55-inch and 65-inch versions.

Perhaps this time, the company is seemingly changing this trend and we may witness four speakers for all the alleged three screen size S5 Pro smart TVs.

Further inputs reveal a few highlights of the Smart TV S5 Pro. The smart screen may feature metal brackets. These elements help in mounting the large-screen device to the wall. Being of metal, these are tough and durable over plastic brackets.

The next effective feature is “no startup ads”. Users often encounter ads every time they turn on their TV. It’s not only annoying but also ruins the overall experience.

Although it seems Huawei has fixed this problem with the upcoming S5 Pro smart screen. As of now, turning on the device by default won’t show any ads.

The tipster also reveals that the Smart TV S5 Pro may sport 4GB RAM and 128GB internal storage for all three models (65-inch, 75-inch, and 86-inch). However, these specs are still swirling in rumors and require official confirmation.

Huawei could show the official glimpse of the Smart TV S5 Pro on July 26. The company may also unveil new products alongside the smart screen. It would be worth seeing how well the above-given specs match the official parameters of the device.
