Presentation
The Xiaomi Mi Box 3 and S are Android TV boxes. These boxes are the best value for money (48€) for android TV without tinkering and allow you to have netflix officially. Much less powerful than the superb nvidia shield but they cost 4 times less and remain disconcertingly fluid after spending 10 months with a bbox miami.
