Xiaomi has introduced its TV Box S (3rd Gen), a compact streaming device now listed globally. The device supports 4K UHD (3840 x 2160p) playback with Dolby Vision and HDR10+ and offers Dolby Atmos and DTS:X audio. Pricing and regional availability have not been announced.
The TV Box is powered by a 6nm quad-core ARM CPU (up to 2.5GHz) and an ARM G310 V2 GPU. Xiaomi claims this results in 25% better CPU and 130% better GPU performance compared to the previous generation. It comes with 2GB RAM and 32GB internal storage.
Connectivity features include Wi-Fi 6 (router compatibility required) and Bluetooth 5.2 for connecting accessories. Physical ports include HDMI 2.1, USB 2.0, and a power input. A Bluetooth remote with voice control supports 360° input using Google Assistant and provides direct access to Google TV features.
The device runs on Google TV, which organizes content across apps and subscriptions, supporting personalized user profiles. It also allows media casting via Google Cast and voice-based playback commands. Availability of certain apps or functions may vary by region.
The TV Box S (3rd Gen) measures 97 x 97 x 17mm, weighs 91.2g, and ships with a remote, HDMI cable, power adapter, and user manual. The design is compact and rounded, focused on portability.
The device competes with similar products like Amazon Fire TV and Google Chromecast. Its main hardware advantages include Wi-Fi 6 support and Dolby format compatibility. However, Xiaomi has not provided HDMI 2.1 bandwidth specifications, such as support for 4K at 120Hz. A release timeline and targeted regions are yet to be confirmed, though a global launch is expected due to multilingual support through Google TV.
