Many of us know Xiaomi from its smartphones, but the company actually has a wide range of products.

Xiaomi to Launch TV Box S 4K Globally with Google TV and Improved Remote

Introduced in 2016, the Xiaomi TV Box has been a part of our lives for quite some time. The company has achieved great success with this device, which it has kept up-to-date with small improvements, effectively extending the life of many older televisions (proven through experience). In 2018, Xiaomi launched the Mi Box S, which has remained its flagship offering on the global market. Now, Xiaomi has decided to finally offer the TV Box S 4K, which was introduced in China a while ago, to its global customers. The product has already appeared on the company’s official website shortly before its launch.

Although the release date and price of the device are not yet known, the product page gives us an idea of what to expect from the Xiaomi TV Box S 4K. Here are some notable features of the device:

Xiaomi TV Box S 4K, which is similar to the Mi Box S released in 2018 in many ways, differs in two key points. The first difference is that it will come with Google TV instead of Android TV, which is different from previous models. This change will not make a significant difference for users, but it promises a better interface and a more comprehensive operating system. The second difference is the remote control. Many of us are accustomed to Xiaomi’s remote control that supports Bluetooth and IR control. In the new model, there are more shortcuts and a Xiaomi TV+ button. This is an important change as the number of streaming platforms is rapidly increasing nowadays.
