Mi Box 4K Review Streaming Box Makes Your TV Smart

**Me Box 4K Review: A Comprehensive Analysis**

I recently had the opportunity to test the Me Box 4K, a streaming device that promises to bring high-quality entertainment to users with its impressive features and capabilities. In this review, I will delve into the details of my experience with the Me Box 4K, covering its performance, interface, apps, remote control, and overall value for money.

**Streaming Experience**

One of the standout features of the Me Box 4K is its ability to stream 4K content with ease. As someone who has experienced streaming 4K content in the past, I can confidently say that this device delivers exceptional performance. The Wi-Fi connection on my router is also good, and I had no issues streaming 4K content without any hiccups. However, it's worth noting that a reliable Wi-Fi connection above 12 or 14 megabits per second is recommended for smooth HD streaming.

**Interface and Performance**

The Me Box 4K has a fast and responsive interface that loads apps quickly. I was impressed by how quickly popular apps like YouTube, Netflix, and Prime Video loaded on the device. However, there is one app that takes a bit longer to load – Prime Video. The delay was noticeable, taking around 78 seconds to load, which is significantly slower than other apps. Despite this minor issue, overall performance is good, and the device handles multiple apps with ease.

**4K Content Playback**

The Me Box 4K also supports 4K content playback, which was a major selling point for me. I was able to play back 4K content without any issues, even when using the device continuously. The only minor complaint is that the device gets slightly warm during prolonged usage, but it does not overheat or pose any risk.

**App Selection and Remote Control**

The Me Box 4K comes with a wide range of popular apps pre-installed, including Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, YouTube, and more. This makes it an excellent option for users who want to access various streaming services without having to install them separately. The remote control that comes with the device is also functional, with dedicated buttons for Netflix and Prime Video. However, I did find the quality of the plastics used on the remote controller to be average, which may not be ideal for some users.

**Google Assistant Integration**

One notable feature of the Me Box 4K is its integration with Google Assistant. The device comes with a Google Assistant button that allows users to easily access various features and information. I was able to test the functionality of this feature, and it worked well for simple queries like "what's the weather like?" However, I did encounter some issues when trying to ask more complex questions or search for specific videos.

**Conclusion**

Overall, I found the Me Box 4K to be a solid streaming device that delivers impressive performance and capabilities. While there are some minor issues with Prime Video loading times and the remote controller quality, these are not deal-breakers. For users who want to access various OTT apps on their TV without having to rely on cable TV or DTH connections, the Me Box 4K is an excellent option. However, if you're looking for a replacement for cable TV, I would recommend considering other options.

**Recommendation**

I can easily recommend the Me Box 4K to users who want a reliable streaming device with a wide range of app selection and decent performance. While it may not be perfect, its strengths outweigh its weaknesses, making it an excellent value for money at around ₹3400. If you're looking for a more premium experience or better remote control quality, other options may be worth considering.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhi there this is Ranjith and in this video let's do the unboxing and have a look at this mean box 4k and this is a streaming box that you attach to your television if it's not a smart television you can just attach it if it has an HDMI pole and then you can have access to or modern apps like Netflix Amazon YouTube etc so sort of makes your television actually smart television and this is actually the 4k variant and was recently launched in India and I feel the pricing of this one is actually good because this is a 4k variant and this is priced at 3500 there are other variants for example Amazon firestick is there but the regular variant cost about 4000 and it's a 4k cost a lot more so in that way I would say the pricing is good on this one and as you can see it runs on Android TV it says and it has Dolby audio and DTS 2.0 option is there and it supports HDR 10 up to 4k but some of you were asking me about Dolby vision this does not have Dolby vision and it has built-in chromecast functionality and Google proper Google assistant functionality and it connects via Wi-Fi so make sure you have four good Wi-Fi connection and let's open this up now and have a look so as you can see it's actually very very tiny the box is very small it's so slim and small I was expecting it to be a lot more bulky but again I'm not so surprised with the size of this one it's puny and almost no thickness at all so what else do we get on this it's a it's 4k Ultra strainings a basic guide how to connect and I think so this comes out yet and here we have the accessories nice to see that they have bundled up HDMI cable so nice again it's me branded that we are getting and we also get a remote so this is nice actually and looks like a xiaomi TV remote to be very fine guys looks just like that but here we have dedicated buttons for netflix and even prime video - the batteries might be there so yeah triple-a batteries don't think it's in the box oh you laugh at gearhead and this is the power adapter that you are getting so that's what we get in the box so I'll just keep this box to the side so this is what we get and if we look at this do your power adapter goes in over here you can also attach to actually thumb drives or pen drives to this so if you have local content you can attach it and watch it by that but again it's USB to guys not USB 3 that is something you have to know this is the HDMI port and we also have audio out if you have an option of digital out if you have a home table or something like that you can do that and I believe this one also has bluetooth support so very simple box that we get so let's do one thing guys let's just connect this and see what all do we get Xiaomi says that it has almost a pure Android TV interface so let's check that out now so guys have connected this me box and as you can see we have Android TV interface and the good thing is that I was worried about this one it's clean interface and we they didn't add any layer or junk to it so that's nice and if you have used any Android TV this is the same interface that you got here will be all your apps for example Netflix Prime video YouTube and these were pre-installed and start the hot star and even a z5 and you have for this Google Play Store on this that way you can download your favorite apps again if it's available on the Android TV platform it will be there let's just go back we have already get button to go back and the good thing is that the loading speed what is good for most of the apps for example Netflix I've watched a couple of movies on that as you can see it loads very quickly and even internally the interface is actually really good so as you can see that is something that I actually liked on this one let's just go back and again YouTube also works perfectly and also it has britain chromecast functionality so from your smartphone you can cast a YouTube videos and stuff and of course this works very well for example let's just search for a 4k video actually 4k videos also work or even on this one for example let's just about watch this one and one thing you have noticed that I'm not pointing the remote to the box because it's bluetooth so you can find it anywhere and it works for example let's try to play this one this is actually a 4k video and let me actually show you like over here it's in 4k as you can see right now it's in 4k and I had no problem streaming 4k content so the Wi-Fi connection is also good of course if you want to stream 4k content make sure you have very good Wi-Fi connection above about 12 or 14 megabit for HD I would say about 4 mega but we'll be fine but again I just wanted to point out that the connection is good I did not face any issues of Wi-Fi or anything on this one and I like the interface it's fast it's not like it's slow or something like that there is one corner I will talk about it later but general as you can see for example if I load hot stuff it loads actually very quickly and let's just go back and let's just go to this d5 and again as you notice how quickly it loaded so it tries to keep many of the apps in the memory and again now if I go back to YouTube as you can see it'll be back there itself and even Netflix that we were watching earlier it loads very quickly so the recent app would load very quickly except for prime LED I don't know what is wrong with prime video but when I switch it on you'll notice that you take about 78 seconds to load and this is the same case that I noticed but primarily every time I don't know it's the problem with the app or something but this is the only app that takes quite a bit of time once it loads it's fine as you can see and you can place stuff for example it works perfectly I won't play back the videos because of copyright issues but trust me guys I watched a couple of movies on this one and I did not have any issues so in that area it does a good job 4k content also plays well and as I told you I used it continuously this box gets slightly warm but does not overheat or anything like that even when I was feeling 4k content so in that area it's good and I like the fact that we have most of the popular apps available on this one so that's actually nice and you can actually put your favorite apps like this also this is a Bluetooth remote with voice functionality and that also works we have a Google assistant button and if I just ask question for example it's what's the weather like I'm just going to get part of that and it works very well for example let's try it a little bit complicated one play geeky Ranjith videos it correct yeah detected as you can see but it didn't read right so yeah it's a hit or miss sometimes but that's what it does and so you can even use this one now coming to one thing is that many of you were also asking me is this a replacement for cable TV no that is not the case you cannot add your DTH connection to this one for that that's different if you want that do th functionality then a couple of months back I had reviewed the intel extreme box you should go with that this is not a cable TV ordered ETH replacement this is for people who want these OTT apps and let's say your TV does not have smart TV functionality or let's say your your TV is just too old and they are not updating the apps and you want these up it's for those people you can attach this and get this functionality but make sure your TV has a HDMI port because it connects why are HDMI port and I would say overall I like that the functionality is nice only thing is that I don't know this prime video again as you can see it takes time to load I don't know why other apps load almost instantly so that's the only con that I've noticed only happens let this one I don't know why but apart from that that's good but now let's also talk about the remote let me show you so guys this is the remote that is supplied and I like the fact that it also has volume up and down so you can easily control the volume and dedicated button for Netflix and prank and this is for going back to the home back and all your apps and we are even have a Google assistant button but I feel the quality of the plastics used on this is very very average and also you control it mostly why the d-pad and this feels slightly on the flimsy said that's the only con but again I won't complain too much considering the pricing of this box that's about 3400 overall I would say I can easily recommend this for people who are having an on Smart TV but one these OTT apps I just wish that the remote controller quality could have been better so guys that's it for now thanks for watching what do you feel about this me box 4k anyways guys this is Ranjit and if you guys are still not subscribed to my
