Xiaomi Mi Box S Overview
Mi has been manufacturing various products for the past few years. Some of them were telephones, while others were power banks.
In the year 2018 on October 9th, Xiaomi introduced the streaming player's updated version. It is called the Mi Box S. It was introduced during the annual event of Google' hardware. It can be bought at a reasonable price through any local shop or online platform.
The price of the Mi Box S has decreased significantly ever since its first release. However, if its price continues to decrease as the years pass by, most people might not find it a considerable option to buy from.
They might consider purchasing the secondary TV or an Android TV without paying much attention to the TV of Shield. Otherwise, people would not consider buying this device than other devices which were similar such as Roku and Amazon.
Function
Design
This box of Mi is an excellent choice for most of the people because it can be bought in the form of a box. Few of the companies might not think of it a good choice to produce boxes that are large in size.
However, the premiere of Roku is minor in size and light in weight. With the help of its own cable of HDMI, it is hoisted. Whereas, the TV stick of Amazon Fire is massive in size.
Interface
This platform does not have many variations that are micro in size because the TV of Android is run by Xiaomi. The TV of Android is identical despite the individual running it on a TV of Sony Bravia or a TV of shield or a box of Mi S
This TV of Android is extensively easy, and hassle-free to use for those who have purchased it recently along with an OS that is navigable and a few options that are customizable.
Menu
Along with having excellent features, it also has a very tidy menu. This comes in handy when the user wants to enable the customizations too. When a system is started up, a row of the apps which have been recently used is shown at the top.
Apps
Moreover, the user will also get a list of personalized recommendations for various related apps as the one scrolls down. There is also an option for finding and discovering new apps and games as well.
However, when the individual wishes to download or acquire new apps into the Android TV, it can get a little complicated because the store where the apps are downloaded are not much organized.
The interface of Android TV is not as admirable as that of Roku's, but it is better than that of Amazon.
Video Quality
The video quality is not impressive because it cannot handle the resolutions of the videos too. Even when this device is connected with a device of the TV for 4K HDR, the spectrum of colour is default along with a quality of picture for 720p.
Remote Control
The remote control for the box of Mi S is not well-made. This remote control feels like plastic when held in hands and is cheap as well.
The buttons of the remote control in the socket jiggle around and the pad that is directional is much more accurate than it seems.
Pros
- Not as expensive as other devices
- The storage of USB is available
- It consists of a Google Assistant
Cons
- The picture and sound is substandard
- It consists of a remote that is Lackluster
- It consists of the issues of frame-rate and resolution
Conclusion
Although the Mi Xbox has plenty of excellent features. But there is no specific reason to purchase it. That is because it has various cons on it too, such as bad quality of picture and the levels of sounds are adequate.
