Steve May
Xiaomi F2 Fire TV

A RELATIVELY LOW-COST 4K flatscreen with mainstream appeal, Xiaomi's F2 is built around Amazon's popular Fire TV platform. This makes it a tempting buy if you're after a second telly, or cheapie living room panel.

Priced £440 in its 50in guise, the F2 looks presentable enough, with a micro bezel finish and two widely spaced slim feet, but build quality is undeniably budget. The set weighs a mere 11.06kg.
