Xiaomi’s TV Box S (3rd Gen) is a compact streaming box that plugs into your TV and adds smart apps and casting without replacing the whole set. It sits in Xiaomi’s TV Box range against familiar sticks and boxes from Amazon, Roku and Google, aiming to keep an older telly useful or give a second screen a proper streaming setup. The small, square footprint also suits wall mounted TVs or tight AV cabinets where you do not want clutter.

Who is this for?

It makes sense if you want a neat, discreet streamer that can live out of sight, or if you move between rooms and prefer something light enough to pack away. The 17mm thickness helps it tuck behind a TV, and at 91.2g it is unlikely to tug on cables. If you are picky about how your setup looks, the plain black finish blends in with most TV stands and soundbars.

  • Size: 97mm x 97mm footprint for a low profile placement
  • Weight: 91.2g, easy to reposition between screens
