New update for my fellow Symbianizers!

XIAOMI MI BOX - International Edition
(tl;dr in the bottom of the page)



What is the Xiaomi Mi Box?
The Xiaomi Mi Box is a small device that plugs into your TV's HDMI port and gives you an Android Smart TV experience!

Why should I get a Xiaomi Mi Box?

• To convert your regular LED TV into a SMART TV -- Android Smart TVs cost double the price! This works even with a CD-R King TV
• To play file formats your TV cannot read -- Download a highly compressed HEVC (x.265) movie and play it easily on your TV!
• To stream Ultra HD Netflix content (needs fast internet) -- Perfect for Movies and TV shows you only want to watch once
• To use Google Cast -- Transfer the video/photo you were viewing on your Smartphone (iOS/Android), Laptop/Mac to your TV!
• To run other android apps -- Install Kodi for Android and enjoy free TV/Movie streaming
• Future-proofing -- the box will last you a really long time

For playing most of your local and online content, you can buy a generic Android TV box. But you will never get the FULL Experience of a Smart TV without the Google Cast feature!


What is Google Cast?

• Control the content displayed to the TV using your Smartphone (iOS/Android), or Laptop/Mac
• Best for -- Karaoke night! Anyone can use their phone to YouTube Karaoke songs, then cast it all to the TV (playlist included!)
  
  Google Cast-Ready Xiaomi Mi Box

Mga ka-SB,

Maganda talaga ito dahil designed for the TV talaga ang Official Android TV OS.
Sa ngayon, siya ang pinakamurang Android TV box na may support sa Google Cast, at HD Netflix (1080p and 4k/2160p).
At dahil Xiaomi product siya, for sure na darating 'to sa Pilipinas..like all the other Xiaomi gadgets we can buy.


For more info, look at the Official Xiaomi Mi Box website.

UPDATE: Xiaomi Mi Box now available on AliExpress for the same price as the US!



Para sa mga nag-iisip pa kung sulit sa kanila ang Xiaomi Mi Box:

Re: Xiaomi Mi Box -- Convert your TV into a SMART TV! (with Tutorial)

binubuhay ko po ang thread na ito.
planning po ako bumili nito in a month time siguro. ang kaso lang po ang daming negative feedbacks lalo na sa update nito ngayon to Oreo.
Wala rin po ako makita na tutorial kung panu ito ifirmware flash via pc.
Hindi rin po ito naroroot. Yung root na nakita ko may pagkakumplikado pa at di normal.
Hindi daw naddowngrade from Oreo.

Gusto ko sana kaso nakakadalawang isip sa kasalukuyang mga problems sa software nito.

sir, palagay mo gagana vpn dito sa mi box for example http injector?

 

[GeekTech]

Mga ka Symbianize, any android box pag na connect sa TV using HDMI it wil convert to Smart TV.
at para ma gamit mo fully ang android box kelangan mong i install ang KODI and need mo ng stable
internet para mapanood mo lahat ng movies, tv show and live tv all over the world.

 

[pizzaboydee]

Up natin ito.
Pero plan ko bumili ng MXQ Pro, hmmn ano kaya mas maganda sa kanilang dalawa?
