Anyone in the market for an affordable streaming media player with 8.1 Oreo-based Android TV software, 4K HDR capabilities, and a Google Assistant remote included in the standard retail box?
While you’re at it, why not also get the world’s most popular smart speaker at a killer price? The tiny but extremely well-reviewed Google Home Mini is currently sold by Walmart alongside a brand-new Xiaomi Mi Box S for a crazy low grand total of $84.99. Believe it or not, that’s still less than half the retail price of an Apple TV 4K alone.
Still, you’re technically looking at decent $24 savings with today’s bundle deal, but most importantly, you can score two great products at a pretty much unbeatable price. Of course, we haven’t reviewed the Mi Box S just yet, but at least on paper, the 4K Ultra HD-capable streamer seems incredibly feature-packed.
We’re talking voice control that “does it all”, built-in Chromecast support, access to 3,000+ channels and apps, including Netflix, Vudu, and YouTube, as well as quad-core processing power, a fast 3+2-core GPU, 2GB RAM, and 8GB internal storage.
The Google Home Mini, meanwhile, is understandably basic and limited in functionality, nonetheless offering “hands-free help around the house”, as it comes with the full Google Assistant potential for web queries, smart home assistance, reminders, voice calls, entertainment, and more.
