Xiaomi's launch of its flagship Mi 10 5G smartphone in India wasn’t the only Mi product that made its debut in the country today. The company also unveiled the Mi Box 4K and Mi True Wireless Earphones 2.
Mi Box 4K
The Mi Box is a 4K streaming device that turns a regular TV into a smart TV. The device is powered by a quad-core Amlogic processor that is paired with 2GB of RAM and 8GB of storage. You can stream content in up to 4K resolution on supported content platforms, while the Box also supports the HDR10 format. The Mi Box supports 4K 60 fps content on YouTube, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and other supported platforms.
The Mi Box 4K runs on the stock Android TV interface as opposed to the PatchWall interface. The Mi 10 Box features a USB port, HDMI port and 3.5mm socket, while an HDMI cable is included in the box.
