Worried about being left behind in the streaming era, but can’t afford one of those new-fangled smart TVs? You’re not alone. Luckily, streaming in the modern day is as easy as sticking Xiaomi’s TV Box S (3rd Gen) or TV Stick into just about any TV to give it an upgrade.
The Xiaomi TV Stick and Xiaomi TV Box S (3rd Gen) aren’t just for streaming newbies. You wouldn’t believe how even smart TVs purchased in the last couple of years have fallen behind the competition. An ageing processor is a surefire way to give yourself a headache. Now, with Xiaomi’s solutions in hand (or in-TV), you can put those concerns to rest.
Allow Mi to explain
Xiaomi TV Box S (3rd Gen) | R1,399 RRP
If you’re serious about your new streaming ambitions, then you should probably have Xiaomi’s TV Box S by your side. Or rather, your TV’s side. There’s an argument to be made that it adds to the decor, but it’s also small enough to be tucked out of sight. The real winner, though? 4K streaming made simple with the help of Google TV.
Set-up is as simple as putting the cables in the right holes. One of those is your standard HDMI, which delivers 4K UHD and HDR10+ support. If tech specs usually inspire a yawn, worry not. You can rest assured knowing that the image quality is that much more vivid than the rest of the competition, whether it’s tackling sport, soapies, or Marty Supreme.
Don’t discount the TV Box S’ superior navigation. Even if you’re technically content with that decades-old smart TV in the guest room, guests… won’t be. Using Xiaomi’s next-gen processor, the TV Box S is blazing fast, dashing from app to app before you’ve even had time to think. Typing, too, is blistering, an experience that’s elevated by a fantastic remote.
Do you hear that? It’s the sound of your TV, just begging to be put out of its misery. Give it the gift of the Xiaomi TV Box S (3rd Gen) (R1,399 RRP) today!
Never stop loving Mi, Xiaomi
Want to bring your content along for the ride? The Xiaomi Mi TV Stick slips into a backpack or suitcase just as easily as it does your pocket. Like its boxier brethren, the Mi TV Stick doesn’t need much to get itself going. A single HDMI port (and USB port) is all that’s needed to turn a… less reputable TV into a properly smart entertainment hub.
It looks the part, too. It may not hit 4K, but if your TV caps out at 1080p, then it doesn’t really matter. Instead, it gets by with that 1080p output, working with 1GB of RAM and 8GB of storage. That’s more than enough juice to sustain an incredibly smooth experience, bolstered by Google running the software show.
Capping it all off comes the ergonomic dream that is Xiaomi’s excellent remote control. With easy access to your favourite apps, and a built-in Google Assistant, you’ll never have trouble landing on a movie to watch with the rest of the family.
Whether you’re inviting the Mi TV Stick into your home or suitcase for an unbeatable price of R799 RRP, or showing up your mates with the definitive streaming solution that is the TV Box S (3rd Gen), you can’t go wrong with Xiaomi’s incredible deals!
