hey what's up guys Chigz from Chigz
tech reviews and today I have got my
hands on another brand new Android TV
box so stay tuned for the review so this
is the xiaomi me box android TV box
so as usual we are going to be doing a
quick unboxing followed by a few tests
video tests full HD and 4k videos a few
android games testing Kodi performance
and finishing off with a benchmark and
Wi-Fi test so this is the xiaomi me box
android TV box
so especially about this box is you have
the full version of android TV OS on
here so that's the same OS you get on
the Nvidia shield so it's going to be
very interesting to see how this
performs so you also got google class
built into it you've got voice search
remote included you've got seventy-six
dollars worth of offers included such as
$50 credit for sling TV five dollars for
will do you've got one month free trial
which is worth six dollars and you've
got a three months trial to Pandora
which is worth fifteen dollars so let's
begin with the specs I'll put the specs
on the screen so you guys can have a
quick read so the CPU is at s 9:05 X
quad-core running at two gigahertz the
GPU is a mali 450 running at 750
megahertz
you've got two gigabytes of ddr3 8gb of
internal storage dual band Wi-Fi is
supporting 2.4 gigahertz 5 gigahertz BGN
and AC bluetooth version 4 this is
running the official Android TV OS
built-in Google cast supports Ultra HD
4k videos at 60 frames per second and it
supports HDR 10 Dolby audio and Dolby
DTS so let's get the Box open and see
what it looks like
that's everything to get in the box I
really liked how this was packaged it
was packaged very neat I love the orange
and the black and it looks really cool
you got your usual instruction manuals
you got some special offer leaflets here
and your paperwork
you got HDMI cable which is also branded
with the me logo pretty cool you've got
a charger the remote control quite a
basic looking remote control but this
remote also has a built-in mic so you
can do voice searches so you'll be able
to press the mic button and you better
talk straight into the remote and we'll
be testing that function out later
hey this also came with batteries I've
actually reviewed so many Android TV
boxes and none of them came with
batteries for the remote so me box nice
and last but not least the actual me box
so the me box a completely plain simple
design with just a me logo at the front
you've got the sensor and if I keep
going around the ports on the back very
simple design you've got the power
socket there a full size USB port HDMI
port and an audio out all you got is one
USB and there's no micro SD card slot
whatsoever I like to mention that you've
only got 8gb of internal storage on this
unit but the thing is you're running
android TV version 6 so what you can do
is you can put a USB drive in and you
can convert that USB drive to use as an
internal storage so this me box is
actually really small and to compare the
size I'm going to bring in the TX 5 Pro
the TX 5 Pro is one of the smallest
boxes you can get I like to compare it
to the me box if I put the me box in on
top the form factor is slightly
different as you can see but
nevertheless the me box is quite a bit
smaller than the TX 5 Pro if we do a
side-by-side comparisons you can see
it's a few millimetres slimmer too so
the me box is certainly one of the
smallest TV boxes you can get so I was
quite excited to try this box out I've
been wanting to get this for a while but
I finally got my hands on it so this is
the shall be Me box
running full Android TV OS exactly like
Nvidia shield obviously the power of
this is not on par with Nvidia shield
but still we're going to test this out
I'm going to hook this up now and we're
going to run all the tests and let's see
how good the me box is so when you first
turn the box on you have to pair your
remote control and you can do that by
holding the left and the zero key and as
soon as you do that you'll hear a beep
and that means you're connected so this
is the home screen for the me box this
is Android TV OS version 6.0.1 so at the
top you have your read recommendations
you've got your game section there and
then you've got your app section and
this is where all your apps will be
stored any apps you installed from the
Google Play Store will appear here any
games you installed will appear in the
game section and so on so forth let's go
to settings so this is system settings
you have all your various system
settings here this is google cast and
the options you have here in if we move
across and down you will see now I'm
going to go to home screen and over here
you have the options of changing what
you see in the recommendation section at
the top so you can turn on and off from
these apps what you want to see on the
top recommendation row you can also
customize the apps and games in what
order that you can view them so I'm
going to arrange the games in recent
order so the most recent play games will
appear at the front of the list another
very cool function is power key
definition you can choose what the power
key does on your remote control I'm
going to say it to shutdown I'm going to
quickly show you the system storage
available it's an 8 GB unit there is
currently 5.1 GBS available to use I've
already installed 4 games and I've got
5.1 GBS left so it's quite good so
you've got a reasonably good system
storage there and this internal storage
can be upgraded all you need to do is
plug in a USB Drive and you will have
the option to format this USB Drive into
internal storage so after can
- Wi-Fi I did check and there was a
system update available so this does OTA
updates regularly so you know you're
always going to have an up-to-date
system and a stable working system
organizing and moving apps around is
really easy you just keep the ok button
pressed and you can move any app app
around that you wish and if you want to
uninstall the app it's even easier press
the ok button pressed push down and then
click on it uninstalled and you'll be
able to uninstall the app in seconds
so let's have a quick look at the Google
Play Store so the Google Play Store has
loads of apps for you to download from
movies TV games and a lot more
entertainment apps etc you've got all
the popular apps here all the apps you
see in this store is actually designed
to work with your box so all the apps
are compatible with the grid the box
they're all Android TV compatible apps
another great feature is searching by
voice so if I just say
Jiggs five apps it will search for ticks
by that in YouTube and it will find my
popular video on the top five must-have
apps for Android TV bumpers it was
something to chain you can play straight
away likewise you can actually search
for anything you like you can search for
any subject and it will find it you just
press the Mike button on the remote and
just say Jurassic world
world movie information has come up and
it gives you all the details on the film
the cast and the rating and it also
gives you the option to buy or rent the
movie and then you can watch it online I
really like how accurate the search
feature is so let's try one more how to
cook roast chicken and there you have
the instant YouTube results on recipes
to follow on how to cook roast chicken I
can really get used to the search
feature so let's try streaming some full
HD video on YouTube hey what's up guys
Jiggs there from chick tech
you
hey what's up guys chiggers they're from
chicks tech reviews and today I want to
show you guys how you can install Amazon
Prime video
so now I'm going to test Cody
performance with some 4k video files
you
let's test out a game the first game I
like to try is dead trigger - okay
Oh
so now I'm going to be playing a 4k
video sample from a USB Drive
so there you have it guys the me box has
achieved 28 megabits download speed and
9 megabits upload speed I am on a 40 Meg
broadband connection
to benchmark tests were quite good
you've got a 37,000 617 overall
benchmark score so let's see how that
compares with the others so this is my
top benchmark performance chart where
you can compare all the Android TV boxes
that I have reviewed to date higher the
score better the overall performance so
as you can see the Shelby V box has
jumped straight to number one in the
quad-core TV box chart with an amazing
score of thirty seven thousand three
hundred and seventeen so currently the
Xiaomi me box is the best performing
quad-core TV box that I have reviewed so
far so it would be very interesting to
see which android TV box I review next
and what overall score it will get so
stay tuned for that so there you have it
guys that was the Xiaomi me box
considering this has only 2gb of RAM and
a quad core CPU the performance of this
box was actually very good the me box
achieved the highest score when compared
to other quad-core TV boxes of course
the 8 core boxes out they have scored
higher and some are actually priced
lower than this box so why would you buy
this shall be me box for a higher price
and less specs because this box has
Google cast built-in supports voice
search you also get seventy six dollars
worth of extras which some of you may
find very useful you also have a very
solid performance with no crashes and
you have the most amazing Android TV OS
that's the same OS you get with the
Nvidia shield so this is a licensed
Android TV OS product so you get all the
regular updates and fixes so you know
you've got a stable product the me box
also supports DTS and Dolby Digital
audio the only issue I see with this TV
box is storage is 8gb yes you can expand
it with an external HDD but this would
have been much better with at least 16gb
otherwise this is a very high quality
product by a very well-known company
Xiaomi we're currently producing the
most amazing smartphones which I hope to
review for you guys very soon so what
I'll do is I'll put the links in the
description in case you guys want to
check this product out I hope you guys
found this video useful thank you so
much for watching and I hope you all
have a brilliant day
