The editors liked

  • Android TV system – there are only two such products on the market plus two that are discontinued

  • 4K + HDR – pr
  • Phenomenal price
  • 4K support

  • The Mi Box is unbeatable for Android TV... though there are other streaming devices that are cheaper
  • 4K support There aren't many settop boxes at this price point that support 4K resolution
  • Solid remote The small remote isn't anything fanc
  • Clean design
  • Useful Bluetooth remote
  • Fast and responsive
  • Low price

The editors didn't like

  • Amazon Prime Video – This is really Amazon's fault but other Android TV devices (e.g. Sony HDTVs) have been able to negotiate the inclusion of Amazon Prime Video so it is possible
  • High-res lossless audio codecs – this is the biggest lacking feature for H
  • Remote might be a bit too simple (an Android TV problem as a whole)
  • Gaming performance can leave a bit to be desired
  • UI can get sluggish at times
  • Final Thoughts
  • On average you'll likely find your phone runs games better than the Mi Box
  • And while that
  • Middling performance Even basic 3D games stutter and chop on the Mi Box
  • Choppy 4K playback

  • The addressable market for the Mi Box is much smaller than I originally thought when the box was first announced. At the same price as the new Chromecast Ultra, fans of the Google ecosystem will be better served by Google's own streamer that offers more c...

  • On average you'll likely find your phone runs games better than the Mi Box, and while that's an opportunity missed for Xiaomi, there's a reason the far more gaming capable Nvidia SHIELD TV retails for more than twice the price. The Mi Box works perfectl...

  • Abstract:  When Android TV was introduced to the world back in 2014 , the new TV-focused operating system wasn't packaged as a new entertainment platform as such, but more of an upgrade to its old (failed) Google TV initiative. It sought to bring cohesion to Android...

  • Middling performance Even basic 3D games stutter and chop on the Mi Box
  • As a relatively cheap way to check out Android TV the Mi Box is an easy recommendation, much more so than the discontinued Nexus Player or the expensive SHIELD TV. "You get what you pay for" is a cliché but it applies in this case: don't expect anything...

  • I don't have a 4K or HDR TV so I cant vouch for those features but everything I've streamed or watched looked great. I'm pleased with the purchase and I suspect you will be too. My advice is to skip the Chromecast Ultra and pick up a Xiaomi Mi Box.SPECSCP...

  • Abstract:  Xiaomi's Mi Box, the cheapest 4K HDR streaming box on the market, comes from two names you might not be familiar with. The box is built by Xiaomi, a Chinese electronics vendor that has largely avoided the U.S. market until now. As for the software, the Mi...
