Xiaomi Mi Box S review - Outpriced and outperformed - Android

The Xiaomi Mi Box S is bigger and more expensive than the competition, but is it better?
Mi Box S
By Xiaomi
Positives

High quality video and audio
Unaltered Android TV experience
Simple remote button layout
Good looking design

Negatives

Performance is a little sluggish
Remote's build quality could be better
A bit pricey for what it offers

Bottom Line

The Xiaomi Mi Box S is plenty capable, but isn't a good deal when compared to its current competition. If Xiaomi had followed its own philosophy and offered a lower price, things might have been different. If the Mi Box S is one of your only options then it's still worth a look, but similarly priced devices from Google, Roku, and Amazon are all better buys.
