So how about Chromecast, Android TV, Google assistant, Online TV and huge variety of apps in one single, well built and stylish looking device? Say hello to the Mi Box S and … let’s talk about the top 5 reasons to buy it.

Diving right to the first and – supposedly most important reason to go for a Mi Box: using a streaming device is among the cheapest ways to make your TV smart or smarter than what it is, and make that based on an open-source and well maintained by Google operating system.
Mi Box s arrives at slightly lower price than its predecessor, which is another good sign. While Xiaomi do not disclose this officially – it is powered by the S905X processor – widely used with many TVBoxes, but is unfortunately not the latest and greatest from the Amlogic product line; The box is equipped with 2GB DDR3 ram, 8GB storage, and arrives with Android TV 8.1 out of the box.
The TVbox is a very slight upgrade to the predecessor – Mi Box 3, so if you have that one, likely the Mi Box S won’t really strike you with performance upgrades.

Second top reason to go for Mi Box S is the Android TV OS – meaning that it is stock image of Google’s Android system, which is certified by Google. You don’t have to worry about shady apps, unknown services, bloatware or whatsoever. It is arriving with version 8.1 out of the box, a nice step up compared to the competition.
The settings menu is well organized – and is aligned according to Android TV standards, giving you control over the entire operating system. You can adjust WiFi settings, the display and sound, add Bluetooth devices and so on. Everything is well understandable and grouped in a way that makes sense.
Adding a Bluetooth Gamepad worked just fine withing a few seconds, event hough we talk about a quite old model.
Using USB devices is quite easy too, and unlike the Amazon Fire TV stick, using external media with the Mi Box S is quite well working! The device is good even for gaming – not as powerful as the nvidia shield TV – but still good enough for games like Asphalt, Real racing, even PUBG.

Being Google certified leads us to the third major point of interest – content streaming in Full HD and UHD ; HD streaming of Netflix, for instance. Youtube is also well presented with video resolutions of up to 4K.

The other outstanding feature to highlight – voice control: there is a dedicated button launching Google Assistant – instead of typing long names and titles with this not so convenient software keyboard – just say them and they will show right away.

Number 5 - Google Chromecast which is embedded. Extremely convenient and useful – and one of the big differences between this TV box and the non-certified android devices. Videos, photos – this is a very quick, good working and reliable way to share content on your TV and make it visible for everyone in the room.
If you need a cute, stylish and capable device to stream Youtube, Netflix or Amazon Prime Video – it is perfect and in my opinion is a better choice than most of the other google certified TV boxes. If you have the Mi Box 3 – keep it and carry on using it. If you don’t care about android TV, and all you need is Android’s full power unleashed – as it is on your smartphone for instance – get a Chinese TVbox with the latest generation processor.

Great box. I watch DSTV, Netflix, ShowMax, Youtube, and many other apps. I love it from South Africa

Great box for a low price. Just installed android 9 on it and it runs even better now. My disadvantage is the lack of an extra usb port. I ordered a usb splitter box with 3 ports and i will let you know if that will work with my airmouse and usb stick. One other point is the choice of the default launcher, i am using sideload channel launcher 2 now in witch you can custimise everything including your background. It would be nice to set that as the default launcher.
For the rest only positive. There are also apk files you can sideload on it. One of my reccomandations is CX File explorer. Runs very fast on the box and you can easily set up an account in the cloud with the webdav protocol. CX can also do a cleaning performance of large unnessacery files and cache files. The box also reconizes a usb stick of 64 gb so the storage of only 8 gb isn't a problem anymore.

A disadvantage (since you asked) : No ethernet port.
Whether or not that is a disadvantage is practice I don't know. But it seems to me that it would be a good thing to have a rock solid, works every time, all the time, bandwidth to burn, connection to complement WiFi.
I am interested in comments because that is the only thing putting me off getting one of these.

Just got this and made a video of it. Really fast and responsive. Thanks for the review, made me decide to get one.

[enjoylife]

heyy it’s been a year since you uploaded this video, , do u still recommend buying it

[wanwu]

I have been having an Android TV box for 4 years, TaNix TX3 MAX, it works well and is worthy of its price. I love it.

Xiaomi android mi boxes S is one of the top TV boxes on the market

[flyshitface]

Can I connect mouse or keyboard on the usb port? ANDD does this mi box use browser such as google chrome??

[travismayes]

I would love to know that same question as the ladies asking it's been a year now since you've uploaded this video do you recommend this box I'm getting it for to use Google duo

[torbenfunch]

Nice video!
Two questions:
1
Can it turn on and off my TV when connected via the CEC hdmi so I can skip the TV remote?
2
I don't have any apple products. I was thinking of buying a apple tv4 4k
Should I save my money and get the MI TV box or should I spend the last money and turn to Apple?

[clappedbycris]

What kind of camera do you use? I would like to get one.

[Hengphyrun]

Hi, Can I add camera to this TV Box, as I want to use Zoom? If yes, which camera brand or types should I get.

[mushahedi]

Now the Mi TV stick is out, would you still prefer the Mi Box S? I'm not interested in 4k at the moment and the 2GB Ram should be the deciding factor or is it?

[silverpyne]

This is the best Certified Android Box so far after NVIDIA Shield. If you can afford then surely go for NVIDIA otherwise this is still the best pick. Yes, It is low on RAM and ROM. But apart from those it has something in it called DRM L1 license which you won't find in other brands. Those who are looking to play PUBG on this box can look for other boxes. But if you want to experience heavenly AV quality over Netflix, youtube other streaming options then this box is just for you. This box will get regular OTAs whenever it is available. CONS : This box lacks Ethernet port. There should be at least 2 USB ports in the box one of which should be of usb3.0 compatible. Front notification light on the box is too faint, I can hardly see it glowing.

[holmes]

Mi Box works great only thing that you will need to get if you have a 4k Tv is a usb ethernet cable, it makes the resolution alot better. It cost maybe 15 dollars.

[lucyl]

You did convince me. Nice review! Kudos.

[rosannechua]

hi i can use this even if i have an iphone? or is an android phone required

[Fedron]

Thanks for the reviews, I have ordered one already

[Smeoneonyt]

Would you recommend this or the new chromecast with google TV? I mostly care about lag.

[geegixproductions]

Could I plug an external hard drive and play photos/videos(mkv/avi, mp4...) on mi box S?
