1.About mi box 4k
"Friends, this Mi Box is not just a streaming device; it also supports Chromecast. It's Android-based, meaning it offers features similar to an Android TV. If you've bought a smart Android TV, you'll get almost the same features and a bit more with this. Just to give you an idea, it costs ₹3,500, which means you can get it for around ₹20k to ₹25k less than buying a smart TV. So, if you don't have a smart TV, you don't need to buy one; you can purchase an Android TV box for ₹3,500 and make your TV smart."
2.ports & buttons
Let me quickly tell you about the ports and buttons. First, there's a power point, followed by a USB port—yes, it's a USB 2.0. There's also an HDMI cable port and a 3.5mm jack, both at the front and back. Interestingly, the status indicator is placed where the 3.5mm jack is, so it's intriguing that you won't find an LED indicator at the front. Additionally, it has a dedicated remote control with specific buttons for Prime Video, Netflix, and Google Assistant. You'll need 2 AAA batteries for the remote, which aren't included in the box. Moreover, it supports voice assistance; there's a small microphone at the front of the remote that connects via Bluetooth, meaning there's no infrared connection here—only Bluetooth 4.0. I've tested it, and the voice commands work well. As I mentioned earlier, it supports 4K UHD, so if you have a 4K TV, you'll be able to stream content in 4K.3.specifications
If we talk about the specifications, it has a quad-core CPU, 2GB of RAM, and 8GB of storage. This means you can install apps and other things inside it.4.features
"One good thing is that, friends, it supports around five thousand apps. So, it's not just about Netflix, Prime Video, Voot, Hotstar, and similar apps. You can also play games on it, download games, download browsers, and much more. This means many things that you do on your phone with apps, you can also do on this device but on a bigger screen. Also, the screen on your phone can be cast directly to a larger screen, thanks to its inbuilt Chromecast support. This way, you can cast it onto a bigger screen."5.O.S
"When I talk about the operating system, it comes with an out-of-the-box Android TV 9.0, which means Android 9.0. Interestingly, nowadays, you know that data has become very important. There's a data saver mode where you basically save data. This means that in normal mode, if you're using video streaming, let's say it consumes 1GB of data. But if you turn on the data saver mode, your data will be saved at least by about 25% to 30%."6.Setup
"And friends, setting it up is very simple; there are three steps• Get an HDMI cable.
• Connect your TV and Mi Box.
• Connect to the internet, and that's about it, there's nothing else.I mean, seriously, it can convert a normal TV into a smart TV and probably do even more."
