Xiaomi Mi Box S 2nd Gen - 4K Ultra HD android TV Streaming Media Player with Google Assistant & Chromecast Built-In (UK Version + 2 Years Warranty)- Black

Why did you choose this product over others?: At first, I was hesitant about this product due to the low specs it presented: 2 GB RAM and 8 GB ROM, but after running it, I can assure you that this little Android box is the best in performance and quality I have tried so far. I don't know why a lot of people are returning it, but my experience has been great with it, lightning fast and smooth response. I have been able to install all my favourite apps and more without a problem, my Netflix app works flawlessly and the remote controls it perfectly. It has 3 buttons for direct access. The only thing that I don't like about it, and hope that they can add in the future, is the Ethernet port, but the Wifi is unbelievably fast, no kidding, I have Wi-Fi 6 and Wifi7 running from my Asus Router and 930 MB of fibre internet, and this box supports it. I have found no lag or glitches while operating this little bad boy; it streams perfectly in 4K resolution. With HDR10+ Dolby Audio, DTS-HD, Dolby Vision, HDR10+, which matches my Samsung 4K TV HDR, HDR+, Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. I have tested other Android Boxes, but this one is by far the best I have seen at this price range, affordable, Fantastic performer, premium quality feel. It has a Quad-Core Cortex-A55 CPU that makes all the difference in speed and performance. I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking to enjoy smooth streaming at an affordable price, but I would also like to recommend having a fast fibre broadband plan to accommodate all of your devices in your home network so you dont start getting lags during streaming and lastly try to get an IT friend to help you with the network and display settings in between your 4K TV and the 4K Streaming Box to maximize your experience, also you need to make sure that you have bought 4K TV HDMI cables (2.1) to connect both devices so you dont loose any resolution in the transmission of data. (watching TV and playing content with your media player). NOTICE: The setup is easy on any Android Box if you know about technology, you will be able to tweak it up to your liking, but if you don't know much about it then get a friend who does, to help you with it so you have it installed properly and dont have issues with it later on. Good luck to you, and I hope this review helps you make an informed decision.

Fantastic little box, well worth the money. I have an LG TV and whilst it is a smart TV, there are limited apps that you can download for it. The remote for this Xiaomi box is clicky and very responsive. Setup is a breeze (although it helps that I have several other Google home products) haven't noticed any issues with it whatsoever so far. Only slight downside is that there is no ethernet port, so will only rely on WiFi connection. Would recommend!

Came with uk plug. This box is the best smart box I've owned it's very responsive, remote is nice, picks up your voice no trouble and the live tv streams and movies are perfect great picture quality, no buffering handles apps and streams well, it's easy to set up there's is not one negative I could say about this box it, is well worth the money so much so I'm going to be buying another for my tv downstairs.

Great product but really annoyed that it’s not supplied with a UK plug - particularly because it says it’s the UK version. I have a slimline tv on the wall, with a flush mount power socket, and now this can go behind the tv because I have to use a massive bulky adaptor. See image. Where can I get a compatible UK power supply? Hopefully the supplier can advise.

Great once get , as had to order twice ,1st cancel But 2nd came won't connect to google home ..but one fiddle set up done great no buffering plays 4k movies great , very fast Control works tv and box Good change from firestick

Does everything you need it to and set at a good price point. Remote is sturdy and solid Google TV is nice to use and so much better than firesticks or apple TV etc Can recommend this over the 3rd gen with a nice discount as have both and the differences are basically not noticeable

After prolonged research, i finally concluded that this is the TV box I need to have for my entertainment room and for my kid to watch his cartoons. It does really support 4k (not like most of the other brands claiming and realistically run 2k), extremely easy to set up and install many applications to get the best experience possible. My old fire stick feels like from the Stone Age compared to this TV box. One more important thing to mention is the Wi-Fi connectivity is perfect as many of the other brands are struggling with that even when the router is next to the device. Overall best TV box currently on the market for this price range!

I bought it as a easy way to watch streaming platforms, without having to connect a laptop. I went for Xiaomi, as I use their devices (phones, dash cams etc) for years and always have been absolutely satisfied with them. That's why I am even more disappointed with this one. It crashes at least twice a week (eg. black screen with "oops, something went wrong. Try again" or constantly switching to a random platform, or picture quality going so down, it hurts to watch) and the only way to fix it is a hard reset (unplugging from mains). Yes, I checked my Internet connection 😉 I spoke to Xiaomi support and they said it's not a malfunction 🤷🏼‍♂️ So, overall, it kinda does work like 80% of the time but the remaining 20% is a pain. . .
