yeelight, pocophone, mi box... It seems Linus's Xiaomi order arrived all at once.
I think he may have been implanted with a chip a few months back when he done the video with @Strange Parts and ever since then, he is being controlled by china! Although considering china's explicit content filters I am not sure it is working out considering how many videos of late have started with linus getting out of bed in his birthday suit!
Brandy Wasay yup. When they call Apple products an ecosystem I always laugh my ass off. Bitch my towel is even Xiaomi and my phone waters and lights my plants automatically all made by Xiaomi communicating through Xiaomi products. they think their watch iPad and iPhone on the same wifi is an eco system meanwhile my watch tells me to weigh myself and the weighing scale updates the watch I'm 0.2 over today and how much I need to run, again all by Xiaomi.
Well, my parents are using the same model of this box in Chinese market, and they highly praise it on its plentiful content and UI. That explains everything you can achieve within $43(CHN Ver.) for your family.
@@watawatngpilipinas6645 I'm currently using a xiaomi mi 5s plus. A 2 year old flagship with Snapdragon 821 at $300 (that i bought last year). The caveat? The camera is worse than galaxy note 5, a $700 phone. Everything else works fine. And for $300 i can't get anything better
reasonable? my phone (k20 pro) is damn cheap. ok they cut some corners, no wireless charging, no microsd but $450 for 256gb phone? I'm happy - plus no notch OR curved edges! no curved edges... something even most flagships don't offer
ordered from walmart.com with store pickup. but I am reading reviews on amazon and walmart.com and many people are pointing out it is really slow and if not at first, a few weeks in and gets really really slow. so i am confused now
@@amynkvirani I have the OG Mix Box and this new update fixed most the issues. The wifi still seems buggy though, it can really slow the thing down. I just use the usb dongle for ethernet.
At the moment I don't care about cromecast killer, I care that a pc from origin with an i3-8100 and a 1050ti is $1500!!!!!! ( for the confusion in the comments I saying is a HORRIBLE deal )
are you kidding? linus sold his soul to bullshit long ago. For someone that complains about all the bullshit tactics out there, I don't know where he gets off running his channel based almost entirely on clickbait titles/thumbnails. What the fuck, linus. I get that you gotta appease the algorithm gods with some things, but clickbait?
@@tylercgarrison Linus specifically stated that he does the thumbnails and titles because it's what generates the most views. He's hardly a bad offender of it and I can't blame him if it helps his viewership. If anything, blame the viewers who fall for clickbait.
I'm really curious to find out what it will be like when Xiaomi has more products and phones in the US. Seems like they've been slow to roll out, which is probably wise.
Don't know if they'll go mainstream anytime soon. There's still a lot of stigma around Chinese products being cheap and low quality in North America. A lot of Chinese companies have struggles to penetrate non-Asian markets because Chinese is associated with low quality.
I don't know about the US but I live in a country with a lot of Xiaomi products and so far they have been selling great. However here the challenge for them isn't to compete against flagship phones but against other budget brands like oppo, Vivo etc. As for these kinds of products, they haven't exactly what replaced Google right now due to the fact that many people don't actually use this stuff but those who do just use Google instead since there is some sort of stigma around Chinese products.
@@jaineekparikh heck even in South east asia chinese products are considered low quality. Xiaomi have been "helped" by other chinese companies mainly oppo, vivo and huawei since they do the marketing. Their marketing succeeds, which means people trust chinese manufacturers now. So they don't have doubt about xiaomi's quality
@R Hebner it's their trick. They trust in their products. Instead of giving you 10 of each, they give you a million. It's the same cost for producing, less for shipping and packaging since it goes in bulk, and you can put less effort on gaining more from less products sold. Xiaomi's policy, for what I understand is not going for exclusivity, it's having a product for every price range. Brilliant business move

I have the 3 international "original" version. We had lot of problems with updates. We had been stuck on MM for more than one year. (Lot of stuff was broken or not implemented). Than betas of N was leaked and something was fixed. N was never released. This year O was released and lot of stuff was broken some more than others. USB key mount, Ethernet dongle and built in wireless wasn't working. Some fixes were released but for me the main one is still present. CEC was working on M but on O it doesn't. The box was presented on a Google conference but it had lot of problems with updates. I hope that the similar hardware means more updates for me. But for you if the hardware is new it means more trouble which in the older version has already been solved.

I just bought this thing. Got the TV for free. Only one HDMI port still working, but that's good enough. That's 60 bucks for a smart TV. 90 if you include my DIY hifi setup.
I bought this device having no idea how powerful (interms of software) this thing is! I can watch anything anyplace anytime for free. If you know the right apps to use this is basic the best entertainment device all you need is the device and like 1 hour of setup and you are good
@@woodoospirit6346 facts And closer to Christmas this goes down sometimes to $30 on walmart, so even better deal Last year on black friday it was $25 on walmart
honestly having tested a couple boxes. the mi box was one of the best android tv boxes that are available and ive had better experinces with it than with some other boxes. it does need more usb ports and the ethernet port but it still worked great for most other things.
Just got your VPN deal at PIA. I have been thinking of doing it a long time and your recommendation along with the deal you have with them finally got me to pull the trigger on a VPN. No worries now for 2 years. Thank you!
I have two of the original Mi Box's. One never worked well and kept rebooting. I thought an update would fix it but it never worked after the update. The second one is still going strong and all the Mi Box S features as far as I can tell after it updated. Thank you Mi for updating the Mi Box original! It was my first device after cutting the cord and I think I will stick with it as I am not a gamer or into super HiFi audio and use a soundbar. Netflix is my only movie subscription and that the Mi Box supports it properly is a big plus for me. I have had RUclips TV for over a year now, it has gotten expensive and I am not sure it is a good deal anymore. Xfinity has a streaming package with no contract for $20 bucks that lets you select like 19 stations which is enough for me. Got to keep the costs down. You have been a big help to me over the years. I am a senior and you make new tech understandable for me.
I got a Roku ultra for around 59.99 cause it was on clearance the big thing that drew my attention to the ultra is that its the only Roku they sell right now with a ethernet port so you can direct connect to the roku instead of being forced to connect wifi only
Install parsec, moonlight, or steam link on it and you can game on the couch. As long as you have a gaming pc And proper wifi(5G) with a lan connection to your pc.
This thing is very popular in Russia, because you can install a 3rd party app for free, where you have unlimited access to moves in any quality up to 4k. It has muliple sources from where it can stream movies if one server is offline, even torrent streaming is build in with a search engine. Priceless.
I HATE messing around with TV interfaces from a remote. I love my Chromecast. I can start a show from my computer go in my living room sit on the couch and open the Netflix or Google Home app and pause/play from there. Much easier and faster using my phone as a remote than an actual physical remote. Also, videostream chromecast plugin is perfect for steaming stuff from your computer. You can torrent a TV series and it'll automatically figure out what show it is and the episodes. It will auto play the next episode and save your progress. You can pause/play from your phone or computer. Chromecast is the only thing I'll ever need.
Been using this device with my family. It failed and started lagging when it was on over the night or was awaken from sleep. Suddenly some kind of hardware stutter came along too, which could indicate software or hardware fault. But I guess it is software, still. Returned it and got another one on warranty. Was happy the first day, then on second day, same thing over again. Tried settings like no bakgrund processes and only allow one app running at one single time. Still no improvement, still had to restart the device if I was able to, due to laggy responsiveness being felt in the remote too. I can't recommend this device, if it would not crash/hang/freeze, it would be an awesome device!
You being too hard on the MI Box S. The Firestick doesn't also have a network port. Really gamers Linus. What 'Gamer' & titles would a real gamer anyway want to play on android. The focus of this device is streaming. I for one don't have a single game installed on my phone anyway. Leave gaming to Pc's & console.
I am using Brave right now. I was having issues with wifi on a new laptop and Brave had the highest bandwidth test compared to Chrome and Edge. I miss Opera being unique.
I've tried both this and the new firestick 4k, I was more impressed by the new firestick, it was quick, responsive, and much smaller than the mi box, plus it had everything the mi box had with the right links on RUclips, good luck with whatever you choose,
Hey guys, with your Android TV pair up the remote. To do so, go to settings, bluetooth and click add. Go to your remote, hold the Home and Left button until the remote flashes green. Click TV BLE Remote and the mic button works.
@@rv112xy Because it's an android TV Box, you can Download the Amazon prime Video for TV APK, and install it like you would do it in a smartphone. I could give you the link if you want
After you install this, you have to use two controllers? One for turning on the TV and the Mi box controller aftwerwards to control the smart? Or does the control also turn on the TV?
I have grown to be a faithful Xiaomi fan. I have never come across such a combination of quality and affordability in all different types of hardware. I have the Mi Box 3 4K box, which is also Google certified, has gaming, Google voice search, Chromecast, and a host of other features for even less than this box. I got mine for about $50 via Gearbest. The cost included expedited shipping. Had it within 10 days. The box feels solid and luxurious, just like every other Xiaomi product including my Yeelights, Mijia dashcam, smart outlets, pen, battery backup, mix 2, note 5, note 6, and even the pocophones I got for my kids. Pleased with every single purchase, except the Mi Mix 3 which I would have loved had there not been a network connectivity issue with every Korean Telecom provider. Good stuff almost always.
I wouldnt recommend it. It was a laggy experience when it comes to overall usage but also videowatching (where it glitched out because of cacheprobs). While friends of mine bought the MiBox i bought the FireTv stick for a difference. On sale it costs half as much as the MiBox. The experience is way smoother and the apps are working better in almost all cases while also being smaller. While it cant provide a full chromecast experience (which also crashed and often lagged on the MiBox) you yet still can connect youtube/spotify and many more to it. Excluding the recently added screen share feature. Tl;dr: Software experience with MiBox just isnt good. Wait for a FireTV stick sale
why dont the people that make these android tv google assist boxes watch these reviews and just add the things that are missing on there next release. make sure you incorporate gigabit ethernet and dual band wifi and at least 3 gig ddr3 and 32 gig internal. BANG THE PERFECT BOX
I have this and it is really great for my non-smart bedroom TV. I even use it for gaming via G-Force Now and a Bluetooth gamepad. RUclips, Netflix, Amazon Prim Video all work flawlessly. Highly recommended even in 2023.
The only issue I've found with using the original MiBox is that even though it has the Google Play Store for additional apps, there just aren't all that many for the UK users, like no ITV Hub, 4OD, UKTVPlay...the list goes on, and this is even after 2 years after release. Then you think "Ok, well I'll just sideload the apps I need" but you just run into even more issues like the apps not being tv/remote friendly...all in all it just becomes a massive headache
I would never EVER use a video device without an ethernet port. I had a chromecast and it had a total crap wireless connection that would always reset less than 20 feet away from the router.
GTX 480 could fry an egg for you while playing Crysis. It's not that complicated really, you take a Tower cooler, insert some metal prongs, don't install a fan and stick some bread in there. The metal prongs will convect the heat to the bread making it nice and crisp. Obviously you will need to select a CPU that will heat all the way to a nice and toasty 90-ish C and saturate the cooler's thermal capacity without overheating the CPU. Probably something cheap and low W.
I bought one for the lightly used bedroom TV. I just don't like the interface of the Roku that was attached to it and I really didn't want to shell out the cash for another Shield that won't get used much (We have a Shield on the main TV). So far, so good. So for a main television I'd opt for the Shield (which I did) but for secondary TV's (bedroom, kid's room, guest bedroom, basement, garage, etc. I'd pick one of these up to have the same interface on all TV's.
this has the same hardware as the previous MiiBox and I can tell you the people that bought those complained constantly about choppy picture because the system was so crappy it couldn't handle basic video playback as it lacked either the RAM to do it or the horsepower to do it. do yourself a favor and spring for the Shield if you want Android TV. but to be honest with how fractured device support is from apps unless all you are doing is Hulu, Netflix and RUclips you will be better off picking up a device from every major platform, I did a 3 month prepay plan back when DirecTV Now first launched and got a FREE Apple TV from that (the 3 months of service was $105, so cheaper then the $150 the Apple TV sold for), I did a 3 month prepay of Sling ($60) for a $50 credit toward a Fire TV Box 2nd gen, I bought a Roku Premiere+ on Black Friday last year for $50, the Shield TV I caught a sale on the first gen that bundled the OG remote (with rechargeable battery and headphone jack) and first gen Shield TV 16GB model for like $25 LESS then the Shield TV by itself, so not counting the money I paid for the streaming services I was actually using I have all 4 devices for like $275 + tax and i'm good to try any new streaming cable service with horribly limited device support at launch.
I bought one of those cheap 5 US$ wireless keyboard/controllers that come with a USB dongle that you can plug into the Mi Box S and it easily works for when you need to type a title in the search box or navigate the screen with a built-in trackpad and/or cursor keys. BTW, the Mi Box S is now only around 50-60 US$ online in southeast Asia (through either Lazada or Shopee).

Chromecast doesn't have an interface - you'll need your phone for everything
i went to walmart, bought this thing, i can't find any message included....
honestly having tested a couple boxes. the mi box was one of the best android tv boxes that are available and ive had better experinces with it than with some other boxes. it does need more usb ports and the ethernet port but it still worked great for most other things.

Just got your VPN deal at PIA. I have been thinking of doing it a long time and your recommendation along with the deal you have with them finally got me to pull the trigger on a VPN. No worries now for 2 years. Thank you!
The previous Mi box became very buggy after upgrading to android 8.0.
Keep up with these Xiaomi reviews. Maby Mi Mix 3 or Mi Router HD
I have two of the original Mi Box's. One never worked well and kept rebooting. I thought an update would fix it but it never worked after the update. The second one is still going strong and all the Mi Box S features as far as I can tell after it updated. Thank you Mi for updating the Mi Box original! It was my first device after cutting the cord and I think I will stick with it as I am not a gamer or into super HiFi audio and use a soundbar. Netflix is my only movie subscription and that the Mi Box supports it properly is a big plus for me. I have had RUclips TV for over a year now, it has gotten expensive and I am not sure it is a good deal anymore. Xfinity has a streaming package with no contract for $20 bucks that lets you select like 19 stations which is enough for me. Got to keep the costs down. You have been a big help to me over the years. I am a senior and you make new tech understandable for me.

I got a Roku ultra for around 59.99 cause it was on clearance the big thing that drew my attention to the ultra is that its the only Roku they sell right now with a ethernet port so you can direct connect to the roku instead of being forced to connect wifi only
Install parsec, moonlight, or steam link on it and you can game on the couch. As long as you have a gaming pc And proper wifi(5G) with a lan connection to your pc.
And sufficient WiFi reception/bandwith.

This thing is very popular in Russia, because you can install a 3rd party app for free, where you have unlimited access to moves in any quality up to 4k. It has muliple sources from where it can stream movies if one server is offline, even torrent streaming is build in with a search engine. Priceless.
Wait?
A $70 Chromecast ultra and origin PC built in?
Sure!
Oh it's just a message.....

Who would’ve guessed,
it’s Xiaomi.
I HATE messing around with TV interfaces from a remote. I love my Chromecast. I can start a show from my computer go in my living room sit on the couch and open the Netflix or Google Home app and pause/play from there. Much easier and faster using my phone as a remote than an actual physical remote. Also, videostream chromecast plugin is perfect for steaming stuff from your computer. You can torrent a TV series and it'll automatically figure out what show it is and the episodes. It will auto play the next episode and save your progress. You can pause/play from your phone or computer. Chromecast is the only thing I'll ever need.
I have many xiaomi products. I'm very happy with them. Good quality and great price value.

Dat MLP
true
Been using this device with my family.
It failed and started lagging when it was on over the night or was awaken from sleep.
Suddenly some kind of hardware stutter came along too, which could indicate software or hardware fault.
But I guess it is software, still. Returned it and got another one on warranty.
Was happy the first day, then on second day, same thing over again.
Tried settings like no bakgrund processes and only allow one app running at one single time.
Still no improvement, still had to restart the device if I was able to, due to laggy responsiveness being felt in the remote too.
I can't recommend this device, if it would not crash/hang/freeze, it would be an awesome device!
Yeah the Google one is more expensive but works perfectly all the time for me.

You being too hard on the MI Box S. The Firestick doesn't also have a network port. Really gamers Linus. What 'Gamer' & titles would a real gamer anyway want to play on android. The focus of this device is streaming. I for one don't have a single game installed on my phone anyway. Leave gaming to Pc's & console.
The Mi Box S Amazon link is for the Original Mi Box. The Mi Box S is a Walmart exclusive.
Linus what are your thoughts on the Brave browser?
Or browsers in general. I'd like to see a vid about modern desktop/mobile browsers with a recommendation.
That would be pretty cool but browsers always evolve and change from time to time as they pack more features in them
I am using Brave right now. I was having issues with wifi on a new laptop and Brave had the highest bandwidth test compared to Chrome and Edge. I miss Opera being unique.
It'd also be good if he talked about Yandex Browser.
You know what? Just download every single browser you can, compare, contrast, and benchmark!
Linus must be a brony...My Little Pony smack in the middle of the screen lol
I'd be surprised if he *wasn't* a Brony. Lol.
Lol. I'm just speculating based on the hot pink Honda Civic® that he (I guess?) still drives
Not to mention it's in the Play Next section with other 'resume watching' titles.
Could be his kids.
:thonk:
I've tried both this and the new firestick 4k, I was more impressed by the new firestick, it was quick, responsive, and much smaller than the mi box, plus it had everything the mi box had with the right links on RUclips, good luck with whatever you choose,
Xbox One S in sale or used is also a intersting streaming box with good games =D
CEKROM but the Power consumption : mi box =7W and Xbox about 50W.
And your xbox life time will be shorter
Xiaomi producrs are just in the middle of every category of technology that you need.
Not overpriced, well-built and it just damn work!
Hey guys, with your Android TV pair up the remote. To do so, go to settings, bluetooth and click add. Go to your remote, hold the Home and Left button until the remote flashes green. Click TV BLE Remote and the mic button works.
Watching this on my xiaomi note phone, plus I can use my phone as a remote for the mi box

xiaomi mi box s or amazon fire tv stick ( both at 4k) wich one should i buy??
Of course it's a Xiaomi no Mi device.
I've got the original Mi Box and it's fantastic. No surprise the newer box is great as well.
mi is the global brand, the differentiation makes little different :3
You can sideload amazon prime video...
How?
@@rv112xy Because it's an android TV Box, you can Download the Amazon prime Video for TV APK, and install it like you would do it in a smartphone. I could give you the link if you want
@@one_juru I found it already thanks. It works fine. Some features are missing of course like skipping fast.
After you install this, you have to use two controllers? One for turning on the TV and the Mi box controller aftwerwards to control the smart? Or does the control also turn on the TV?
The way he casually rounds up 69$ to 60$ is amazing
hopeful Xiaomi won't become another national security issue...
I have grown to be a faithful Xiaomi fan. I have never come across such a combination of quality and affordability in all different types of hardware. I have the Mi Box 3 4K box, which is also Google certified, has gaming, Google voice search, Chromecast, and a host of other features for even less than this box. I got mine for about $50 via Gearbest. The cost included expedited shipping. Had it within 10 days. The box feels solid and luxurious, just like every other Xiaomi product including my Yeelights, Mijia dashcam, smart outlets, pen, battery backup, mix 2, note 5, note 6, and even the pocophones I got for my kids. Pleased with every single purchase, except the Mi Mix 3 which I would have loved had there not been a network connectivity issue with every Korean Telecom provider. Good stuff almost always.
Could you mod the mi box with highest coverage wifi antenna and also COOLING fan or more extreme like WATER-COOLED IT
5:47 OR... buy a USB Hub for that single USB port. Lol.
Yes, a USB dongle with 3 USB ports and Gigabit Ethernet.
You are all setup.
The beauty of Linux!
That's how it's done right with usb stick dedicated to internal memory n your beast box
Any updates to similar products? Would love to see a follow up comparing similar products and which we should pick up.
ME ALSO
I wouldnt recommend it. It was a laggy experience when it comes to overall usage but also videowatching (where it glitched out because of cacheprobs).
While friends of mine bought the MiBox i bought the FireTv stick for a difference. On sale it costs half as much as the MiBox. The experience is way smoother and the apps are working better in almost all cases while also being smaller. While it cant provide a full chromecast experience (which also crashed and often lagged on the MiBox) you yet still can connect youtube/spotify and many more to it. Excluding the recently added screen share feature.
Tl;dr: Software experience with MiBox just isnt good. Wait for a FireTV stick sale
Mi box s?
@@dizonkeithchristianb.7033 nope. Just the normal one for 70 bucks..
You just need to update the is and it'll be fine
@@onepab01 Meantime prolly. This comment was posted two years ago and it was updated. So rather than wait we exchanged it for a working cheaper firetv
why dont the people that make these android tv google assist boxes watch these reviews and just add the things that are missing on there next release. make sure you incorporate gigabit ethernet and dual band wifi and at least 3 gig ddr3 and 32 gig internal. BANG THE PERFECT BOX
Why not 4 gig ddr3?
I have this and it is really great for my non-smart bedroom TV. I even use it for gaming via G-Force Now and a Bluetooth gamepad. RUclips, Netflix, Amazon Prim Video all work flawlessly. Highly recommended even in 2023.

I doubt it, but does this box work with Amazon Alexa ? Can you install Kodi ?
how about a amazon tv stick for 30 bucks, it's great
Silver Shine no yt no 4k
Doesn't have 4K, you need the $50 one, which is fine but Amazon devices don't work in most countries.
Performance is rubbish tho
Forget amazon and google, making you jump through hoops to use their apps on competitors products. That’s why I use a Roku stick.

The only issue I've found with using the original MiBox is that even though it has the Google Play Store for additional apps, there just aren't all that many for the UK users, like no ITV Hub, 4OD, UKTVPlay...the list goes on, and this is even after 2 years after release.
Then you think "Ok, well I'll just sideload the apps I need" but you just run into even more issues like the apps not being tv/remote friendly...all in all it just becomes a massive headache
I would never EVER use a video device without an ethernet port. I had a chromecast and it had a total crap wireless connection that would always reset less than 20 feet away from the router.
Easy fix with USB Ethernet adapter. If used with USB hub, you can also add USB storage devices, mice, controllers, keyboards...etc.
@@tubeslats USB 2.0 can't carry more than two device of expansion it doesn't have enough power.
@@KeepersWay mice, controllers, keyboards are not storage devices. Easy handle.

GTX 480 could fry an egg for you while playing Crysis.
It's not that complicated really, you take a Tower cooler, insert some metal prongs, don't install a fan and stick some bread in there.
The metal prongs will convect the heat to the bread making it nice and crisp.
Obviously you will need to select a CPU that will heat all the way to a nice and toasty 90-ish C and saturate the cooler's thermal capacity without overheating the CPU. Probably something cheap and low W.
Is it able to use wifi while traveling, like hotels or public?

Smart
I bought one for the lightly used bedroom TV. I just don't like the interface of the Roku that was attached to it and I really didn't want to shell out the cash for another Shield that won't get used much (We have a Shield on the main TV). So far, so good. So for a main television I'd opt for the Shield (which I did) but for secondary TV's (bedroom, kid's room, guest bedroom, basement, garage, etc. I'd pick one of these up to have the same interface on all TV's.
So, being that I'm not a gamer at all, it sounds like this is the one I should go with? Would be a great 4k replacement for my old Nexus Player...
I know that it's a little bad and weak but still heck it's 60 bucks. If you hav problem with it the go buy a Nvidia shield.
this has the same hardware as the previous MiiBox and I can tell you the people that bought those complained constantly about choppy picture because the system was so crappy it couldn't handle basic video playback as it lacked either the RAM to do it or the horsepower to do it. do yourself a favor and spring for the Shield if you want Android TV. but to be honest with how fractured device support is from apps unless all you are doing is Hulu, Netflix and RUclips you will be better off picking up a device from every major platform, I did a 3 month prepay plan back when DirecTV Now first launched and got a FREE Apple TV from that (the 3 months of service was $105, so cheaper then the $150 the Apple TV sold for), I did a 3 month prepay of Sling ($60) for a $50 credit toward a Fire TV Box 2nd gen, I bought a Roku Premiere+ on Black Friday last year for $50, the Shield TV I caught a sale on the first gen that bundled the OG remote (with rechargeable battery and headphone jack) and first gen Shield TV 16GB model for like $25 LESS then the Shield TV by itself, so not counting the money I paid for the streaming services I was actually using I have all 4 devices for like $275 + tax and i'm good to try any new streaming cable service with horribly limited device support at launch.
Mi box=this little puppy for linus😂
I bought one of those cheap 5 US$ wireless keyboard/controllers that come with a USB dongle that you can plug into the Mi Box S and it easily works for when you need to type a title in the search box or navigate the screen with a built-in trackpad and/or cursor keys.
BTW, the Mi Box S is now only around 50-60 US$ online in southeast Asia (through either Lazada or Shopee).
