The Xiaomi Mi Box's $69 price tag and 4K HDR streaming help paper over Android TV's shortcomings.

With full access to Android TV apps plus the requisite Cast streaming capability, decent (if bland) specs, and a voice-control remote, the Mi Box hits a lot of positive notes.

Xiaomi's Mi Box S is a cheap 4K HDR Android TV box that doesn't get with the times.

However, the Android TV box can freeze up at times during GPU heavy tasks, like while playing games with high frame rate. The company offers a remote for the MXQ Pro 4K, which can come in handy.

Google TV is finally adding a new "Find my remote" feature that helps you locate your lost TV remote by playing a sound.

The Google-powered TV box undercuts Roku's 4K price, matches that of Chromecast Ultra, and includes extras like HDR and a voice remote.
