Comprehensive review as always Chigz. Absolutely shameful storage, & ram as commented by others. WTF Xiaomi this is a truly pitiful offering in 2023. Xiaomi is not even trying, and don't deserve to sell ANY. Vote with your wallet, and just don't buy it. It's garbage. Thanks Chigz. 👍👎👎👍
thanks for review as always... i don't see any reason to upgrade since i don't see any hardware changes here. who still builds a device with DDR3 RAM in this 2023? come #XIAOMI, you guys can do better. we were all expecting something way better here than this... the NVIDIA SHIELD is the standard here. for 3-5years now, it still comfortably sits up there with it's predecessor and it's a shame... and it's like, android boxes are not even trying to overtake it.
Hi all, I picked up this box because I was looking for something with a little more power and storage than the Onn 4k streaming box. I noticed the colors were not quite as crisp and clear on this box as the Onn box. I used images from my Emby server to compare the video, with both devices attached to the same tv. What I noticed as I flipped back and forth between the two boxes is that my tv displays the video output when it first connects. The Onn box was displaying in HDR10 but this box was only displaying is Dolby 1080p. Also, I have a certified HDMI 2.1 ultra cable on the Xiaomi box and only a HDMI 2.0 fast cable on the Onn box. Has anyone else noticed this?
Hey. I got the t95z plus, which i regret due to it freezes, and the best apps as disney plus, netflix, plutotv, and many other apps are not compatible on the device. Only youtube works on it! Its useless. So i made some research and found out that it might be because its not play protect certified! The research also lead me to get educated in that non branded devices are scams, and possible maleware! I kept researching and learned also that people use kodi to make the t95z plus work with netflix, pluto tv etc. And that people get nvidia shield in order to make the system smoother, and safer. But im not expert in using kodi, and im tired of making it so complicated. Now im thinking of getting tye xiaomi... fo you know if its pæay protect certified, and is netflix, disney plus, and pluto tv compatible on the device?
thanks again for the awesome review and superb charts!! quick noob question, i have an old gtking its nice but it cannot handle hdr10/dolby vision so i'm looking for a cheap upgrade, as my understanding from your videos, this xiaomi can handle/decode hdr10 eventhough the tv is not? but for dolby vision the tv needs to supported it? does dolby vision need tv that can suppport it or there is a player box than can handle it eventhough my tv is not ?
I used Xaomi MI Box. It stop working after six months. I went to shopkeeper and then Xiaomi service centre where they denied to do any thing saying their system not showing it in warranty. This device is of short life with no after sales service.
Thanks for the explanation Sir. Please answer this query - I have 2019 model TCL TV with HDMI ARC port, and JBL 9.1 with HDMI eARC port, also a Xiaomi Box 2nd Gen. So if I connect an external hard drive (that has bluray rip movies of lossless Dolby Atmos TrueHD) to Xiaomi Box, which inturn will be connected to JBL 9.1, so will the sound output be lossless Dolby Atmos TrueHD ?
Nah soindbars don't have real Dolby atmos. It's still surround simulation. But codec works and will made true DTS to DTS MA dawn grade. Or Dolby atmos 7.1 max
This tv box doesn’t support dolby atmos/7.1/5.1 to sound bar, i tried to connect to my sony HT S20r but doesn’t get dolby, tried so many thing included cable/apps also doesn’t get any dolby 😂atmospheres
It is a good box and the price is what makes it one of the best streaming boxes available now. I had gen1 before and I feel gen2 is much better but still there is Xiaomi need to work on some software fixes. The ethernet should have been a must in this release I don't know why they are insisting not to encloud.
@@muchomalo100 no mali g31 and ddr3 ram..this spec kind of obselate and you will not get any perfomance upgrade just wait 1-2 years and there will be better speced boxes in market...
@ChigzTech after watching your review, I purchased the Mi TV box 2nd generation. It's working perfectly and I'm still exploring. But, the UI is different. I am able to see only 3 tabs on top Thank you very much for the detailed review.
Love to appreciate your hardwork😊 The sense of explanation u have is amazing. Can u tell which should I go with Hako pro or mi s 2 gen Please respond 🙏🙏 If looking for overall performance If looking for gaming
The real benefit of getting the Mi Box is that they release constant system updates OTA. I put a Mi Box 3 at my gran's home a few years ago and it still gets updates.
I have a Xiomi phone. Their" updates" make my phone worse. When I bought it I had the option to play youtube videos with the scree turned off. Software update, option now gone. Pure cancer
I have the Box S 1gn and the Google 4K. If I'm honest, then I prefer the Xiaomi. Both devices get updates. My 4K Google remote does sometime strange. It glitch now and then. Not only I have this problem a friend of mine had this also. For the rest also a fine device.
Now chromecast is better becouse for sdr contend xiaomi need update becouse fore hdr always on output by default. It can be changed manual only. It sucks if you miracast, watch video or photos from usb drive or just play cartoons.
I own two Chromecasts but they've now been rendered useless because our internet provider telenet doesn't provide AP isolation on the modem. My old provider, Vodafone, allowed me to disable guest.mode Via the app but Telenet just told me to get lost. I was wondering if you had any idea if this device has similar issues? Do you happen to have a modem/router that has guest mode/AP isolation enabled? Thank you ❤
If you no need Google assistant and usb fire 4k stick is better becouse have auto play sdr and hdr content in proper format. Xiaomi put all on hdr so sdr content look very bad on hdr bad colours etc. You can change manually for 8bit when play sdr but you loose your time. It shoud be auto mode like auto refresh mode etc. It's critical issue and need be update.
HAHAHAHA LMAO!😂😅 I was expecting at least 4GB DDR5 RAM. Instead they put in 2GB DDR3 hahahahahahahaha. Unbelievable! It is a shame! Never been fan of Xiaomi Android TV boxes. I own a Shield TV Pro 2019 my self and a MeCool KM2 Plus. Way better, way way way better than this.
i think it worth the price, here it cost about $34. I've once bought some unknown android box claim to have 4gb ram but still laggy turnout it just 1gb ram. sold at double price anyway androidTV still better compared to my LG uk6300pte running WebOS , it can't even run browser properly. sometime plex will crush .
Thank you for the review. 2gb ddr3 is the worst thing in this mi box s 4k 2nd gen. The use of ddr3 ram instead of ddr4 causes some slowdowns and lags in the interface. I didn't like this
I'm just not happy with this device, Screen saver can't be turned off and it mess up the app for music listening all the time. Not any update for 6 months. Many apps just not working properly.
Dear Chigz, plz recomend me another latést tv box which is available in markets instéad of Xiaomi, bcz Xiaomi has very low memory 2/8 gb only. Plz récomend other company's latest tv box, which hv min 4gb ram & 64gb rom, latest android version, built in bluetooth for my wireless headphone, & last required its performance that is the FASTEST tv box. Thanks a lot
Still xiaomi 2nd gen don't have update. That box put always hdr signal even when sdr content like cartoons on RUclips. So sdr put on hdr looks horrible bad colours different gammutem. It's critical issue now.
a quick heads up on the 5ghz wifi: you can't more than a room apart from your router or it suffers connection drops (serious) speaking from experience of course. 2.4ghz works just fine.
I bought this recently and really like it.I added a $15 usb hub for extra storage if needed and gig ethernet. Don't care about playing games. I think it's a good price for what it has and certified for Netflix etc. Why buy a uncertified android tv box ? These are much better. Good box Xiaomi!
i dont know whats the problem of mine i have this exact model and try to subscribe to disney+ 4k plan but i can only get 720p resolution but on my android phone i can get 4k playback
@@ChigzTech after watching your review, I purchased the Mi TV box 2nd generation. It's working perfectly and I'm still exploring. I have one question here. How do I change the region after initial setup done ? Thank you very much for the detailed review.
loaded the Box and it wont allow me to log in so it does not start. I cant find a hard reset method that will allow me to wipe the memory of setting and start again. Cant login so cant do the system preference restart or factory reset. Please help anyone!!!
Yesterday I posted a comment about some mistakes in the review. These comments were public for several hours, but then were hidden by the channel owner (Chigz) without any response. I'll say it again. The 2nd Gen uses the S905X4 SoC and uses DDR4 ram. Hopefully this comment will not be hidden also. To hide this information is a disservice to viewers that rely on these reviews for accurate information.
Do you have any proof that this is the S905X4. If you do please share, it would be a BIG help. Prior to the review I searched everywhere and could not find this info. I also tried running some system info apps and nothing reported back S905X4. Also the performance is not on par with the S905X4. More like the S905 Y4. Could even be S905X3, S905Y3, or S905D3 all of these use the Cortex A55 with MALI G31. Same with the RAM could not find this info. But regardless, 2GB RAM is too less be it DDR3 or DDR4. I can literally feel the lag when closing and opening apps. I removed your original comment as I did not like your tone. I treat all my viewers with respect and expect the same.
The androidtv guide, which is usually very accurate, lists it as having the X4. The Y4 is a35, so it is probably not that. It is also probably not the X3, Y3, or D3, because none of those have native hardware AV1 support in the SoC, while the X4 does. I don't dispute that it is laggy. I agree that the lag has a lot to do with the google tv launcher. I installed an alternative launcher and disabled the google tv launcher, so maybe I don't notice the lag as much anymore.
After digging around, i have found more info on this box and AndroidTV Guide is correct, this box does have the S905X4, I have updated the charts. Appreciate the help.
Would you say it's worthwhile getting the MiBox 4k 2nd Gen? I have the Mibox 4K 1st Gen but it has some weird issues like when I watch certain movies on Netflix, the audio will be very soft for some movies & series but then its fine for other movies. There is also a delay in the audio sometimes. I have a Samsung QN85a TV. I will buy the 2nd Gen Mibox if I know that I won't experience the same issues. Do you have any of these issues with your 2nd Gen Mibox?
Just don't understand why they give so little memory it's 2023 it's just not acceptable
Yes exactly.
Add its ddr3
And no USB c or 3 for fast drive access so not great for 6Gb+ movies grabbed via utorrent etc
@@joythoughtAgreed! Can’t believe they still don’t have USB 3.0 or USB C on it
They can't offer a perfect device something must miss it's commercial thing
Finally someone showed their screen with sports streaming. None of the resellers in my country mentions sports. Good stuff thanks a bunch!
hello ! my question is that, is it still worth to buy this today? or can you recommend something?
This device is such a peace of crap it's unreal. It's super slow, laggy, crashes all the time if you connect wireless headphones via bluetooth. Next to no memory, only one usb port, the freaking remote is so loud and cheap. Avoid. Mine is collecting dust.
Great, professional review.

Average box, you're basically paying for the license to stream 4K.
Very true.
You pay for DTS MA or Dolby atmos 5.1 and 7.1 license too.
I would just get a google tv
Rubish not enough storage or Ram in 2023 DDR3
Yes 2GB RAM is a joke. I have been told it might be DDR4, but still RAM to less.

Your TV also needs to support DOLBY VISION and HDR10 for it to work.
