Mobile Smart Screens Surge 65% in China, Driven by AI and Affordable Innovation

Subtitle: *Market Leaders Xiaodu, Tmall Genie Target Budget-Conscious Users with Sub-$300 Models*

China’s mobile smart screen market grew 65% YoY in 2024, with sales reaching 254,000 units, reports Luotu Technology. Xiaodu’s "Tiantian" series leads with 42.5% market share, offering models like the 4K Pro (flagship, $830) and the budget-friendly Enjoy Edition ($360). Close behind, Tmall Genie’s new Wow! Smart Screen leverages a 100Hz high-refresh display—rare in the mid-tier segment—at $385. Its GenieOS 7.5 OS, powered by Alibaba’s Tongyi AI model, supports voice control, skeleton-tracking workouts, and adaptive screen dimming, appealing to families seeking multifunctional devices.

Traditional TV giants like Hisense are also pivoting to this space. Its 27X7N model features an 8-core processor and paper-like eye-protection display, targeting premium users. However, sub-$300 devices dominate sales, highlighting affordability as a key growth driver. Industry analysts note AI features like emotional interaction (e.g., Xiaodu’s mood-aware responses) and long-term memory capabilities are critical to differentiating from "glorified tablets".
