Xiaomi TV Box S 3rd Gen 4K (Global Version)

The Xiaomi TV Box S 3rd Gen (Global Version) is a 4K Google TV streaming box that plugs into a television's HDMI port and gives it a modern app platform, voice search and proper high dynamic range playback. It runs a quad-core processor clocked up to 2.5GHz with an ARM Mali-G310 V2 GPU, backed by 2GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage, and outputs 4K UHD at 60fps with Dolby Vision and HDR10+. The HDMI 2.1 port supports game mode with auto low latency mode, so a television that recognises the signal switches itself to its low-lag picture setting, while Dolby Atmos and DTS:X pass through untouched to a soundbar or AV receiver. Networking is dual-band Wi-Fi 6 with Bluetooth 5.2, the software is Google TV built on Android 14 with Google Assistant, and a 360-degree Bluetooth remote is included. The box itself is 97x97x17mm and 91.2g, small enough to tuck behind the screen. This is a direct fix for a household with a good 4K panel and disappointing built-in software, and it is just as useful on an older television that never had apps to begin with. Everything you install lives on the box, so the setup travels between rooms or to a new screen without being rebuilt, and voice search saves typing long titles letter by letter on an on-screen keyboard. It is sold with a six-month brand warranty.
