Millet box 3 experience evaluation summary
I remember when I first started to know about Xiaomi, I was still publishing the Xiaomi Mobile Phone 1. At that time, the top hardware configuration and pricing of 1999 yuan opened the cost-effective battle in the domestic mobile phone industry. A few years later, Xiaomi Company has led our smart life from the original product that was developed from MIUI to the present. This company's behavior is just like his slogan and it is “new domestic product”.

The millet box 3, inherited from the previous generations of design appearance, matte processing of the fuselage, black color simple and calm.

In terms of hardware configuration, the main control adopts the Amlogic S905 quad-core 64-bit chip, which brings powerful decoding capabilities and smooth running speed. Playing 4K@60FPS video is still handy. Just 4GB of flash memory is a bit overstretched.

The version of the MUI TV system that has been installed has been stable over several generations. The system of the millet box 3 is simply summed up as gorgeous, simple, easy to use and easy to use. "Wireless display" and "gym" are the gospel of office owners. The voice search feature also greatly enhances the use efficiency.

In the movie and television resources, the access of 4 licensees, the blessings of Litchi TV and Mango TV can provide users with the latest and most complete video content.
