It seems that Xiaomi will soon have a new Mi Box for Android TV, according to a list released by the FCC today. It is supposed that the latest streaming system would succeed Mi Box S, which was announced in October 2018.
What is known?
This newly certified Mi Box is first recorded by 9to5Google with the model number MDZ-22-AG, almost identical to the model number MDZ-22-AB in 2018. The pictures attached to the fcc records have also shown that it has the same style as the Mi Box S.
Furthermore, the internal photos reveal that the latest Mi Box has the same old Amlogic S905-H quad-core CPU, powering the original Mi Box and the Mi Box S. A copy of the user manual also states that the method is known as “Mi Box S.” On this basis, we do not believe this is a Mi Box S successor.
The pictures show the same old configuration with a black box with the rear ports. An audio output port, an HDMI port, an all-in-one USB port, and a power input jack are supported.
The remote features the same button layout as the previous version, with the exception of a white Netflix button and a Prime Video button that replaces the Live TV button.
The remote will be powered by two AAA batteries, which will be included in the box along with the HDMI cable and a power adapter, according to the user manual.
At the moment, we don’t know if the current Mi Box S will be officially announced or if it will quietly replace the old one. The information will be shared, once we have it, so stay tuned for more!
