Mi Box - Short Review

user posted image

  • Design - Very simple but elegance look. Small and light, easier to carry.

  • Interface - Simple and nice but the recommendation is too empty in Malaysia Edition. Only 2 Apps showing and cannot modified to add more. Side load non Android TV apps not showing is the weak point of it as well where need third party launcher for example Side Launcher to compensate it. By the way I am very like the way it separate the Apps and Games though.

  • User Experience - Work as it should and easier navigation. The remote control is well implement and nice to use.

  • Android Apps Beneficial over my Panasonic SmartOS (FireFox OS) - YouTube can choose preferable resolution and better navigation. Finally I can have Google Play Movies, iFlix and Kodi which is missing from my TV SmartOS Apps.

  • Cons of Mi Box Netflix - HDR is not working yet but lucky the 4K Netflix is support with condition you must set the Mi Box Display Resolution to 4K 60hz. The 4K 24hz will not able to trigger the Netflix 4K content.

  • Side Load Apps - Very easier and can direct download and install by using ES File Explorer. The cons here is mostly not optimize for Android TV Android Mobile apps required mouse for navigation. Example here Astro GO which totally unusable without the mouse attached as input.

  • Extra Beneficial - Games - Yes, gaming in TV for android optimise games is additional fun to have.

  • What is not working yet - As mentioned above, the HDR is not functioning. Beside this the Deep Color is very wrong, my entire screen became over saturation if I turn this on. As for the Voice Recognition is very bad, I not sure why it is that bad recognize what I am saying where I don't have such issue in my Android phone.

  • Scores - 8 out of 10.
