All of a sudden, Xiaomi has launched two new Mi TV set-top boxes, called the Mi Box 3s and Mi Box 3c. The new set-top boxes come with AI-based PatchWall interface, making it the first set-top box system with AI in the world, as well as with 4K and HDR support.
The company has also improved remote control and the only difference is the memory configuration – the “s” model has 2 GB of RAM and 8 GB of storage, while the “c” packs ¼ GB. The top model 3S costs RMB 299 ($45), while the 3C is priced at RMB 199 ($30).
