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

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...

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...
