📺 Xiaomi Mi Box S Android TV - Google Assistant Remote - Streaming Media Player with Chromecast Built-in - 4K HDR - Wi-Fi - 8 GB - Black Review

I am very impressed with this device. It exceeded all my expectations for such an obscure alternative TV interface. Unlike other similar devices, this supports Netflix and Sling, which I use enough to be worth keeping. Also, the device is advertised as Android 8, but it was upgraded to Android 9 once connected to Wi-Fi. It's fully functional from day one, with very good picture quality even on a non-4K signal. The user interface could be made a bit more intuitive. The volume control on the…

If you are using the official Android TV software then this box is perfect for you. I couldn't get over how limited it was. You can't even download real apps that you might actually need! This is mainly for streaming popular apps (Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, etc.). I chose the H96 max plus box with Android 9.0 and couldn't be happier! It runs pure Android 9.0, has power on/off, two USB ports (one USB 3.0), ethernet, a 3.5mm jack and stays cool thanks to vents. And also. Revain is only $43. I'm not…

I got this, everything set up the way I wanted and everything worked great; about 2 days. Then it started to freeze or gave me bad video quality. It seemed to be getting worse. I disconnected and reconnected it. I changed cables. It's next to my router. I ran several speed tests and the last one showed a download speed of 4.3 Mbps and an upload speed of 8.55 Mbps. However, speed tests on my computer show download speeds between 20 and 33 Mbps and upload speeds around 12 Mbps. My cell phone is…

Works great but there are some features I missed and the user interface is a bit disappointing. What I like most about the Xiaomi Mi Box S is the lack of the ability to customize the background and screensaver to use your own images. Otherwise the system works as expected. I really wish it had an Ethernet port and not just Wi-Fi, but buying the $16 "UGREEN RJ45 Ethernet Adapter with USB 2.0 Hub" works great but should have been an unnecessary purchase. If this item came with an ethernet port…

Very disappointed with MiBox4. It uses google interface/launcher and for some reason google blocks a bunch of stock android stuff. The Play Store on this device is a shadow of a real Play Store and only offers a limited number of items. You can't find anything related to Revain. Neither Revain Shopping nor Revain Prime Video! I downloaded the Prime Video APK from USB and MiBox still refuses to show it as an app that I can use. If only I could replace that horrible Google based launcher and use…

I almost never bought one of the many Android TV boxes because the reviews about it seemed like the technology was getting more stable. Then I came across this Xiaomi Mi Box S Android TV and was impressed with how many reviewers said they turned around and ordered more of these devices to pair with other TVs in their homes and give away to friends and family. I've only had MI for 2 days but thought it wasn't too early to check it out because the setup and final results were very good. All the…

I had a previous MI Box 3 and bought this successor hoping for some improvements. The quality of the MI Box S is inferior in every way. The board is cheaper. The previous one was made to be comfortable to hold in hand. This one is square and chunky with a poorly designed 4-way button. The back and home buttons are in the wrong place unlike the previous or Android phones. Who uses the middle as a "back button"? The home screen design was created to promote what Google AI (artificial idiot) wants
