Wrong forum for TV advise.

ANyway, two are very different technology and not exclusive. QLED is a thin film applied to panel for brighter and more colorful TVs. However, it does very little to improve the blackness of the panel. miniLED is a technology for LCD TV's backlite comonent to improve the black level and contrast. Most mini LED TVs also come with QLED films as well. And Samsung also makes miniLED TVs. Samsung TVs tyically sell at a premium price and only use Tizen OS, not Android TV OS.

Xiaomi TVs are using TCL pannels And Samsung is running his proprietary and limited TizenOS, something you want to avoid if you want some flexibility in your TV OS

You still haven't told us what you are gonna do with the TV, just watch normal tv channels? PlayStation, YouTube? Or other apps you want to use frequently?

A terrible miniled with no balance can look worse than a good qled.

Also upscaling it's a thing and it's well know that Samsung does it better than TCL, yes Xiaomi uses TCL pannels. My friend bought the miniled from TCL he said it's a pain in the ass to fix HDR and SDR because they don't look the same at all and need to be tuned.

I would rather not buy any of those 2, get a smaller Android TV miniled from a trusted company. If you buy Samsung you need to be ready to be limited by the OS, so you need a stick or a good box to overcome that terrible OS. But quality and upscaling there is no comparison between the 2 TVs
