Xiaomi TV Box S 3rd Gen - 4K UHD, Google TV, 32GB Memory, Dolby Vision & Atmos, WiFi 6, HDMI 2.1, Fast Streaming, Compact and Powerful

I bought the Xiaomi TV Box S (3rd Gen) as a workaround for ongoing media playback issues on a modern Samsung Smart TV. The TV panel itself is excellent, but its built-in software (DLNA/USB media handling in particular) proved unreliable and inconsistent. The Xiaomi box has been rock solid from day one. Setup took minutes. It outputs a clean 4K signal, handles 1080p content beautifully (the upscaling is noticeably better than the TV’s own processing), and plays everything I throw at it without drama. Local media playback via apps like VLC/Kodi works exactly as it should, and streaming apps are fast and responsive. What really stands out is consistency. No disappearing files, no random “content cannot be displayed” messages, no reboots or resets required. It just works. Bluetooth audio (headphones) is stable, picture quality is excellent, and the interface is far more polished and predictable than many TV operating systems. In practice, this has turned my TV into a dumb display — which is exactly how I want it. If you’re frustrated with flaky “smart” TV software, this is a simple, inexpensive fix that genuinely improves the experience. Highly recommended.

Great little android box, does everything you’d want it to do, very lightweight and doesn’t take up much space. Very responsive and easy to set up.

The smart features on our living room TV were getting incredibly slow and laggy. Plugging this box in completely solved the problem. The Google TV interface is fast to get between apps with minimal fuss. Setup was basically just logging into a Google account. I wish the remote didn't have branded buttons on. It's a faff to reroute them using third part apps, other than that the performance of the box itself is brilliant.

Perfect addition to my AV setup - after certain apps got blocked on my lovely Firestick this was the ideal replacement. The remote is very nice and the UI is responsive so all is rosy again….except I can’t seem to find BBC iPlayer in the App Store so the firestick is still useful.

This item is faulty it constantly gets notifications that Internet connection is lost like every minute or two. I bought an long Ethernet cable and an USB to Ethernet adapter which I should not have to have, but it still gets this issue every single I use the box until it works out there is an Ethernet cable in it extremely poor. The customer service didn't bother to read my issue, sent a response about the did deliver the item go ask neighbors if they've got it. This puts me off shopping from places like this. The box is actually quite good too when working. Id give it 9/10 when working. Also this box has a huge number with this flaw just Google and you'll see no way this should be happening on a device let alone gen 3 of a device Thank you.

Switched up from the 1st gen, and the initial setup was a bit more complicated than in the old one. Still, the difference is on a positive side; all vids play smoothly as they are supposed to. Couldn't care less about the lack of an ethernet socket, as I have used wi-fi since forever, and the lack of optical audio is nothing since I connected my soundbar to the TV via HDMI-ARC. One thing to be aware of - the search bar kinda sucks, as for now, and doesn't show some apps even though they're compatible with the device (MX Player, for example). To bypass that, you simply need to install them on the device with your phone (after choosing the app from the Play Store).

Very capable streaming device. I got this for the bedroom as a cheap alternative to an Nvidia Shield Pro which we use in the living room. I run Stremio on it and I've not had any playback issues with large 50>gb 4k files. Occasionally the WiFi can cause buffering with the big files but that's understandable from one side of the house to the other. If you used a USB to ethernet adapter you'd be fine. Can recommend, the only thing I'm not overly fond of is the remote, the clicky-ness of the buttons is cringe.

First this is not a UK model and an EU model so you will need a power adapter. Second no iPlayer for those who might want BBC. The plus side for me, it bitstreams audio which is nice as some decode on the device and not bitstream. The downside is for TrueHD it does stutter and its not fixed yet. Also the WiFi 6 is speed capped to 150mbps. It will stutter or pause with very high bitrate content. If you set below 50hz on 4K as with every other device besides the shield it will go to HD and not 4K. The remote back button for some reason is in the middle and not as many buttons. Not the best but also not the worst either. It's not bad in its own right but it does have it's flaws.

Very good tv box. Reliable!

It's a little pricey so I took a chance like most people & I was very pleasantly surprised how much I liked it that I'm thinking of getting a 2nd one. Definitely take advantage of he mic "Google voice assistant" on the remote. Believe it or not, it's one of the best feature on a android tv box. You can be watching something else & ask about the weather or ask what's your favorite team's score it pops up fast automatically on the screen in detail. Instead of looking it up on your phone. Good picture, decent display, easy customizing & adding apps with the 28gb is a breeze. Even though it's not top of the line android box. It does a good job streaming unknown apps.. If you don't like something you can change certain things & certain settings around . Ok.. What I don't like is the short wire adapter plug. That's ok, I got a extention cord etc... No batteries for the remote, buy some ahead of time .. I definitely don't like the remote like for the most reasons people here complained about. That's ok.. I got a cheap white onn remote that I paired up to the box (hold home & back arrow at the same time. ). Changing the remote was the best thing for me. It's now more enjoyable way navigating around while talking Advantage of a android box steaming function. I definitely recommend it

Ürün gerçekten seri ve hızlı nerdeyse her platformun lisanslı olması ayrı güzel .. kumandası pilsiz çıkıyor bilginize.

Excellent box. High quality videos. No buffering. Remote is a little difficult to use in the dark. Voice input button is a great bonus. No hdmi socket. Have to use wi fi. I have been using the cheaper boxes in the past. This one is well worth the extra cost, the difference is really noticable. Only disappointment is the lack of UK mains plug.

Yup, I got more content and programming out of my non-smart TV than before. Very easy to install, very affordable at the price and super useful. Another great Xiaomi product I would readily recommend.
