Review on πŸ“Ί Xiaomi Mi Box S - 4K HDR Android TV Media Player with Google Assistant Remote for Seamless Streaming by Mood Neboet

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Super fast, direct, integrates perfectly with Google. Blows off Firestick 4k

I'm not sure why the person in the review below had problems with the speed or using Hulu. You have to download Hulu like any other app and it works great. I have Firestick 4ks on each TV but Google Home System is used throughout the house. This box rocks in comparison. ZERO ads on the home screen, just a smart layout with your apps and where you are in your recent episodes (it shows your Netflix shows on the home screen). He has zero lag, zero. The Firestick would occasionally get stuck and then output all remote clicks at once. I mentioned ZERO ADS for shows etc or the main video just for your uses. Integrates with Google Home so you can open Netflix, pause, rewind, turn on/off and volume up/down. The only downside is the lack of forward/backward/pause buttons right on the remote, meaning you have to press the main button and then use the on-screen icons to go back/forward/pause. I also had an issue with a TV and the CEC functions work for the box to control the power of the TV/amp. It works fine on my Phillips TV, but randomly turns the TV off with the MI remote button on my TCL Roku TV. Generally a fast, responsive set-top box with no frills, just pure Google TV. Plus, the menu button on the remote shows your apps in a window above what you're watching so you can switch between them instead of exiting one, switching to another, going back and starting over. Great feature.
