HDR offers incredible detail and clarity for all your content and brings videos back to life, while 4K content offers incredible detail and is a perfect fit for big displays.

Conclusion
Although not the best around, considering the price-value ratio of Mi TV Box, it’s probably one of the best options. It’s easy to setup, the remote controller works well and the video output is smooth and clear. Only 8GB of internal storage may be a turnoff for some, but if you are not planning to install a ton of apps and games, it should be adequate for most users. With an exception of demanding games, the Mi Box is able to handle everything else pretty well. But there aren’t many 4K set-top boxes available in this price range offering the same features, therefore it becomes easier to recommend Xiaomi Mi Box.
