Xiaomi Mi Box 4K has been launched with HDR 10 support and you will get many pre-installed apps.
Xiaomi today organized a launch event in the Indian market via online streaming. In this event, the company has launched its most awaited Mi 10 5G in India and this smartphone has a 108MP main camera. The company has also launched two other devices Mi Box 4K and Mi True Wireless Earphones 2 today. Let’s know everything about the price and availability of these devices.
Xiaomi Mi Box 4K Price and Features
Xiaomi Mi Box 4K price is set at Rs. 3,499. It will go on sale for the first time on May 10 at 12 pm (noon) via Flipkart, mi.com, Mi Home stores, and Mi Studio stores. It will also soon reach the Xiaomi partner offline stores. Xiaomi has partnered with Docubay, Epic, HoiChoi, and Shemaroo to provide exciting offers to Mi Box 4K buyers. Alongside the Mi Box 4K, Xiaomi also launched the Mi True Wireless Earphones 2 and Mi 10 5G in India today.
The Mi TV Box 4K is designed to be placed on a table-top and is connected to the TV using an included HDMI cable. The device is powered by a quad-core Amlogic processor and features 2GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage for apps. Up to 4K streaming on supported content, platforms are supported, along with the HDR10 format. The device will be capable of playing 4K and HDR content from streaming platforms supporting these formats, such as Netflix and Amazon Prime Video.
Unlike Xiaomi’s range of televisions, which run on the company’s PatchWall interface, the Mi Box 4K will only run the stock Android TV interface. As the device is being targeted at advanced users who usually know what they’re looking for, PatchWall’s content discovery-based features have been left out of this device.
Users will get additional connectivity on the Mi Box 4K through a USB port and 3.5mm digital out socket, as well as Bluetooth to connect headphones or wireless speakers for sound. The presence of the USB port allows the device to be used as a local media player, and there is wide support for various video and audio file formats. There is also built-in Chromecast Ultra on the device, allowing users to cast content at up to 4K resolution.
The Xiaomi Mi Box 4K goes up against the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K, which is priced at Rs. 5,999 in India. Xiaomi is counting on users relying on the familiarity of the Android TV interface and apps, as well as the ease of setup and synchronization with Android mobile devices and Google accounts. However, the lack of support for Dolby Vision content on the Mi Box 4K is a major drawback, given that Netflix now has a considerable catalog of content available in the format in India.
Mi True Wireless Earphones 2 Price and Availability
Mi True Wireless Earphones 2 will be available in white color variants in India. It is priced at Rs 4,499. But the company will make it available for Rs 3,999 as a special offer. This offer will be available from May 12 to May 17. Users can buy this device from mi.com, Mi Home, and Amazon India.
The company claims that the battery used in the Mi True Wireless Earphones 2 is capable of providing 4 hours of listening time on a single charge. While with the charging case, it can provide 14 days of battery life. With the help of the button provided in this device, the users can control the music as well as receive the call and activate the voice assistant.
Like the Apple AirPods and the Realme Buds Air (review), the Mi True Wireless Earphones 2 feature proximity sensors that allow automatic pausing when you take either of the earphones out of your ears. The earphones come in a rigid design without any sort of cushioning or earbuds. Xiaomi says that they have optimized the shape of the earphone by mapping millions of ears in simulation software. Each of the earbuds weighs just about 4g while both of them with the case weighs 50g in total.
