Xiaomi Mi Box S is an Android TV box from Xiaomi, a successor to the original Mi Box launched way back in 2016. I bought this gadget a month ago and I would recommend it to anyone looking to upgrade their old existing not-so-smart television sets to access YouTube, Netflix and other apps available on Google Play store for televisions. It uses HDMI as a connection interface to your TV set and Wi-Fi to connect to the internet. It also comes with a handy Bluetooth remote control with a dedicated Netflix button to quickly launch and binge-watch with a few clicks as Netflix app comes preinstalled.
