Unveiled alongside Google’s subtly refreshed Chromecast. The Xiaomi Mi Box S goes after the likes of the Apple TV 4K with a considerably lower price tag. They are planing $59.99 for an Android TV-powered streaming media player with 4K Ultra HD output, built-in Chromecast support, and yes, even Google Assistant functionality.
Keep in mind that the Chromecast Ultra still costs $69 with far fewer bells and whistles. Although Amazon’s brand-new Fire TV Stick 4K could prove a very stiff competitor at an even lower $49.99.
