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

I almost did not buy any of the many Android TV boxes because of the reviews on them looked as if this technology still needed to become more stable. Then I came across thisv Xiaomi Mi Box S Android TV and was impressed on how many reviewers said the turned around and ordered more of these devices to connect to other TVs in their homes and to give them as gifts to friends and family.I have only had the MI for 2 days yet I believed it was not too early to review it because the installation and end results were very good. All of the 'issues' I found were not because of the MI but were caused by the APP or was something that copyrights or other legal issues prevented it to work. On researching each "disappointment" I found all competitors had the same issues.If you think the MI will turn your TV into a tablet you may be disappointed. It really is more of a streaming device, thus things such as the Kindle app you may be disappointed. I believe these types of apps may indeed be more suited to a device you hold in your hand, and it makes sense to me that no R & D was wasted on such applications. Everything I wanted to add to my pre-Smart Samsung LED TV is working now as a modern Smart TV.One more mention. From my research no Android TV Boxes have a Internet Browser APP. I found recommendations for the Puffin Browser. From that name I would have never downloaded it, but the things said about the APP was positive so I gave it a try. No problems downloading or installing it and it has worked with no problems. So that concluded my setup, and I am pleased with the end results.

It's not my first time I'm buying this device from this seller and I have had no problem at all, but There was a problem with the device, lately xiaomi I don't know what they are doing to the operating system but the device was defective it keeps restarting so I had to turn it I will buy new one

Muy bueno su sonido es excelente y su calidad de pantalla tambien funciona perfectamente.

Best thing about the Mi Box S is that it uses Android TV, which puts this product leaps and bounds over 90% of the other Android TV boxes out there. I didn't take much time experimenting with this box too much, as it was a gift for an elderly family member. But Plex worked with no issues. Playback was fine.If there was anything I wish I could change about this box, it would be to add an Ethernet port and USB 3.My only real complaint is that the remote I received with the box wasn't working with Voice Commands. You press the voice button and it would bring up the prompts from Android that it's listening... but the microphone on the remote wasn't working and no amount of unpairing/repairing the remote fixed the issue. And the vendor wouldn't get back to me about it. But it was OK. the person I was gifting this to didn't care about that.Despite being a bit underpowered compared to other Android TV Boxes, this one stands out for the competent implementation of Android.I definitely recommend, all things considered.

Excellent, working fast, highly recommend!

I am a disabled vet and as is the case with everyone, money is super tight. I bought one of these from a big box store and it was a nightmare. The first unit wouldn't connect to the internet, the replacement came with Android 8.1 & when it updated to Android 9 several components would not work (ie Google Chromecast & Netflix) and had to deal with Xiaomi customer service (let do this on the buddy plan- NIGHTMARE) but was repaired after a period of time. I decided that I wanted another unit but this time ordered it from Amazon. It arrived with no problem, this is basically a plug & go unit. As it came on it started to update, my heart sank as I thought please not again. No problem at all. If you possess no tech knowledge, no sweat. There is no learning curve at all, very simple to set up... umm maybe 3- 5 minutes. The options are literally unlimited as far as watching movies, live t.v., kid shows, weather, news, like I said unlimited. It comes with Chromecast, Netflix, & Google assistant which is pretty awesome! You can pick up the remote & ask: "What is the weather in ****", or "Will it rain today"? It will then tell you verbally and visually on your t.v. Lately, I have had ample time (due to COVID-19) to run the unit through the paces, I can't say enough positive about this product. You can get it for a very, very reasonable price too. I hope that this is helpful & useful for everybody.

Funciona genial

Do not buy! Stop working 4 months later with no sound. Tried using it with another device and same thing!
