More published in April Xiaomi Mi Box S is the second generation of the Mi Box S on the global market and now it has finally arrived in our country. It's not so much worth switching, but if you're thinking about a TV set-top box, look no further!
The second generation of the little TV box has been a long time coming, and judging by the specs, it doesn't bring anything new. The case is the same as ever, one to one, and so are the connectors. What's changed is the core, the CPU and GPU, with of course the associated performance boost and other new hardware.
Externally, only the remote control has changed. Not the shape, but the layout and function of the buttons. While the current Mi Box S has a dedicated button for the Netflix streaming service and Live streaming only. The new second generation now has 5 such buttons, Netflix, Prime video, YouTube, Xiaomi TV+ and APPS. I had the Xiaomi TV+ but now it's also in the Mi Box S with 2 Chinese channels! 😀
The Google TV has a number of benefits that enhance the user's entertainment experience. First and foremost, it provides a single interface that combines live TV, streaming services and personal media into a seamless and intuitive viewing platform. Users can easily discover and access a wide range of content from a variety of sources, including popular streaming services and apps.
The Xiaomi TV Box S 2ND GEN breaks with tradition and completely gives way to the Google TV interface, but retains all the useful features you've come to expect. For those of you who don't know, we've seen Android TV interface on TV smartphones so far. The new interface is prettier, more colourful and smellier.

The new TVs are still the same price, so don't look for the previous generation, there's no point. Current official price of the Xiaomi TV Box S 2ND GEN 24.990 Ft, about 5 years ago and I bought the previous generation for the same price. Yes, I've been using it every day for 5 years and it's been working perfectly ever since! So if you are thinking about a very good TV set now, then you should buy this!
