Entertainment you love, with a little help from Google. With the Android operating system, which is specially made for smart TVs, you have all the apps you are used to using on your phone or tablet available for installation. However, Netflix, Spotify, and YouTube are already pre-installed.
4K Ultra HD Picture Quality
4K Ultra HD delivers a more detailed and vivid picture for you to immerse yourself in. With Dolby Vision® and HDR10+, images now feature higher dynamic range and have more stunning brightness, contrast, and color than before. HDR images also have more detailed shadows and highlights.
Google TV
Your TV is more useful than ever. Ask Google to find movies, stream apps, play music, and control the TV – all with your voice. Get answers, control smart home devices, and much more. Just say "Ok Google" or press the Google Assistant button on the remote to get started.
Powerful processor
The quad-core CPU offers efficient performance. With a high-performance GPU, your TV can now become your new entertainment platform. The combination of 2 GB RAM + 8 GB ROM* provides a smoother viewing experience.
Excellent Sound Experience
As a revolutionary spatial sound technology, Dolby Atmos® brings the ultimate cinematic experience to your living room by surrounding you with powerful sound effects, and also, DTS-HD offers exceptional quality sound.
Bluetooth 360° & IR Remote Control
The intuitive button layout and Bluetooth allow you to access your favorite content much faster from any angle. With the built-in IR, you can also control the power and volume on the TV or soundbar, all with a single remote control.

The best box in this price range. Fast, plays everything, netflix, eon, cosmote tv, vodafone tv, small, very light box, very light bluetooth remote control. The only downside for some may be the lack of one usb and the absence of an ethernet port.
SOS TIP: Because many report having issues with video playback sometimes appearing abnormal, choppy, (like FPS drops, stuttering, etc) the solution is very very simple. Settings, display and sound, resolution, disable automatic best resolution and select resolution with refresh rate at 50hz instead of 60.
Problem solved, thank me later.
TIP no2: For those who say they can't install apps outside of the playstore (sideloading) download the app Downloader by AFTVnews and find out how it works.
It does quickly and qualitatively what it promises. Setup via Google Home is very easy. The connection to the network (wifi) is stable, the apps (YouTube, Kodi) do not crash. The only downside is that the otherwise simple remote has a Xiaomi TV button that is useless to me but is pressed accidentally very often.
Bought to watch Cosmote TV in my second home, with the subscription of the first. Essentially for using the OTT service. Works seamlessly and without any lag.
Value for money.
So far it works very well. Once it froze but that was after many hours of operation. The storage space is essentially half of what it says in the description, because it is occupied on one side by the operating system and on the other there are many installed applications that cannot be uninstalled. (Only for this reason I give 4 stars) It is not necessary to pair the box remote with the TV remote. They can operate independently of each other. Occasionally, it may need a restart to clear the memory. Overall, I am very satisfied.
netflix, ertflix, ant+, without any problem, downloading the VLC media player all subtitles available, very good image and sound, access to the google store gives it many additional features, easy menu, very precise and fast remote control. The only "negative", with the closing button it goes into sleep mode and the hard drive continues to operate. Definitely VFM!!!
I no longer care what TV to get, as long as it has good picture quality. This product takes care of the operating system. It lags very little, supports COSMOTE/EON TV. 4 stars because it doesn't have a terrestrial antenna input.
Very good box. It plays cosmote tv flawlessly, the channels change instantly (compared to branded smart TVs where their cosmote tv app lags) and after almost a year of having it, it works without any issues. The pluses are the sound buttons that can be adjusted to directly change the TV's volume. So you don't need the TV remote at all.
It's worth the box, but I gave another 30€ and got the other one. It freezes, needs a restart, disconnects from the internet. A bit of a hassle, but for its price..... not bad.
For the money, it's very good. You can download any app you want, including Greek apps for television, you can connect external hard drives, it's better to download VLC for a better experience, and for subtitles. Relatively easy to install, without specific problems and freezes. However, for someone who relies exclusively on this device and uses it all day for everything, e.g., television, movies, videos, social media, games, casting from other devices, etc., they will obviously face more problems, and might need to look for something more expensive.
If you have relatively good quality picture screen you’ll have full smart TV with this small device.
It supports 5ghz internet.
It doesn’t provide you regular TV without cable.
This device doesn’t have any ping and works pretty fast.
I bought it hesitantly because I saw that it had some issues from the comments I read. I have been using it for a month now and I haven't encountered any problems for the usage we give it. Easy to install, the cable works with almost all TVs, and finally, the picture is really very good.
You can't turn it off from the remote control, and the same happens with the volume; most of the time you can't adjust the sound. It plays Cosmote TV. Picture and sound quality are just fine.
Very honest, quite easy installation. It does what it promises, plays the well-known platforms Cosmote TV, Vodafone TV, etc. The volume control of the TV can also be done from the Box remote, but the volume is not satisfactory. This is the only negative that I will look into to see if it can be fixed. I highly recommend it considering that at this price it has no competitor.
Although I was hesitant due to the 2GB RAM, it ultimately didn't struggle anywhere and with anything... Kodi, Stremio, and all the well-known ones work just fine
Fast and reliable!! If you don't have a smart TV or your smart TV doesn't support COSMOTE TV or other applications, this is the ideal solution! The setup is done via smartphone. I couldn't set it up with an iPhone, but I completed the setup in no time with Android. It also comes with an HDMI cable.
Amazing. It plays Netflix, Prime, Disney, Cosmote, Eon, Stremio, etc. The apps run faster on the box than on the TV. It connects to an external hard drive. Very fast response. Highly recommended.
For the money, I can say it's fine; it has some glitches, but for €50, what do you expect... whoever wants something for simple use is fine, otherwise, you spend a little more money and get something better
It does not give you access to the files on the external hard drive for file management. So as a media player for local files, it is problematic. Also, when shutting down with the remote control button, it goes into stand by mode, resulting in the hard drive running non-stop. Very good for all internet-related uses, unsuitable as a media player.
You can install any application you want. I run a VPN (whose app was available on the play store), but I installed an IPTV app that the store didn't have. I downloaded the APK and installed it simply and beautifully. I even installed another source of applications (open source) also without any problems. So far it is fast and has not disconnected while being permanently connected via VPN.
5 stars from me. Before this, I had a Google Chromecast, and the build quality of the Xiaomi is better, both in the device and the remote control. The operating system and the UI are almost the same in both, with the difference that the Xiaomi has some additional pre-installed apps. As a user experience, it is noticeably faster than the Google Chromecast. It also has a USB port to add memory. Finally, it has Miracast capability directly from the computer, although in video it doesn’t show the video correctly; the sound is choppy. On my TV, with the Xiaomi TV box remote, it turns on the TV directly, but it cannot adjust the sound; the TV is from the Tesla brand. One convenient way is to set the TV to maximum volume and adjust the sound from the Xiaomi TV box to its own volume, so I don’t need to use a second remote for the TV to adjust the volume every time. The package includes the remote without batteries, the HDMI cable, the charger, and the TV box. At 50 euros, it is value for money.
