Mi Box Mini: the smaller set-top box that you've ever seen

Yesterday Xiaomi began 2015 by announcing two new smartphones: Mi and Mi Note Note Pro. Both smartphones are clear answers to the iPhone 6 More Apple, the Samsung Galaxy Note 4, or the Pro Meizu MX4. But do not forget that during the same event, the Chinese manufacturer also announced two new accessories: Box Mini Mi and Mi Headphones.

Small devices that play video over the Internet to your TV have been around a while. Google has one. There Roku. And Amazon has even recently launched his.

Today, the Chinese company Xiaomi also like to bite into a piece of the pie, and arrives on the market with the smallest device of its kind that I have ever seen, and incidentally one of the cheapest. The Xiaomi Mi Box Mini is a small square box that costs as little as $ 32, which runs software based on Android, connects to your TV, and looks like a tiny USB charger.

This small device still has a quad processor clocked at 1.3 GHz, 1GB of RAM, 4GB of internal storage, Wi-Fi 802.11n dual band connectivity, and Bluetooth 4.0. There is a single HDMI port for the housing to be connected to your screen, and the system comes with a Bluetooth remote control.

Xiaomi Mi Box specifies that the Mini can handle video to 1080p, Dolby and DTS audio and H.265 video playback.

But, in addition to offering support to Chinese media streaming services, the device runs on Android, an OS perfectly controlled by hackers. In other words, it is not inconceivable that we can sideloader applications or rooter Mi Box Mini and install custom ROMs.

It is really impressive to see how these things can happen.
