Millet box 3 worth buying? Detailed evaluation experience answer

On October 27th, the launch of Xiaomi Box 3, a Xiaomi Box 3 with a 64-bit processor and the introduction of voice and somatosensory functions for the first time, not only greatly improved the configuration, but also comprehensively upgraded the content. What is the value of the millet box 3 worth buying? Here are 3 detailed evaluations of the millet box.


First, configuration comparison


Millet box 3 and millet box enhanced version configuration

Millet Box 3 uses Amlogic's latest S905 64bit (bit) cost-effective chip to meet the current application of video playback OTT, high performance, high integration, low power consumption, excellent 4K decoding capabilities and HDMI 2.0 The interface makes 4K the standard, eMMC 5.0 is currently the highest transmission standard, and Android 5.0 operating system is believed to bring about a better experience. How about the actual experience of the millet box 3, please look back slowly.

Millet Box 3 Packing

The packaging of millet box 3 still adopts the traditional environmental-friendly paper packaging style. The bottom of the box is, as always, strictly in accordance with the specifications.

After uncovering the cover, it was found that the box was well wrapped to avoid collisions and defects during transit. The combination of the outer cover of the box and the box is very close, but the problem has arisen. Opening the lid of the box is very laborious and I hope product designers can see this and improve it.

From the appearance point of view, there is almost no difference between the millet box 3 and the enhanced version.


Millet Box 3 Accessories

All accessories. Standard with a HDMI cable, power adapter, focus on the voice sense remote control! In order to prevent the remote controller from accidentally slipping into the TV when performing a somatosensory game, Xiaomi also attaches a lanyard to the remote controller. Of course, Nanfu battery is also standard, but why not standard rainbow battery?


Millet Bluetooth Somatosensory Remote Control

The appearance of the remote control is exactly the same as that of the enhanced version and mini, but the "house" button is slightly different. Can you see it? It is a voice control button.


The backside highlights the features of this standard remote control. Notice that this kind of remote control is priced at 99 yuan on Xiaomi's official website. How many remote controllers with somatosensory functions are sold separately? I believe that you know what you know, but one thing is certain, buy a millet box 3, to save a sense of the remote control of the cost is a certain amount.


Millet box 3 interface

Box interface section. The enhanced version of the TF card slot, micro USB interface, and the back interface are more concise. I personally use the enhanced version of the TF card slot and the number of micro USB ports to 0. This can be completely eliminated. Keep the AV output interface, old TV or friends who want to connect external speakers can use this interface.

Third, install third-party applications


The steps to install and connect the TV to the box are ignored here. Anyway, follow the instruction manual step by step. The resources of the box itself are limited, and the openness of the Android system determines the playability of the box. Whether the box can be installed or cannot be simply installed by a third-party application is the key to whether or not the smart box is fun.

1, using cast screen artifact installation


Millet cast screen artifact installation application

After the mobile phone installs the "Screenshot Artifact", open it, click "Treasure Box", and then click "Install Local App".


Enter the pairing code for the TV prompt on the phone, and then you can find the third-party application that was previously downloaded to the phone's download folder, click Install, and the box is installed on the fly.


When using screen casting artifacts, it is still best to first set "Install unknown source applications" to ON. However, I did not open it during the installation, and it is still able to install smoothly. It may be that the millet system allows projecting artifacts to be installed by default.


I installed a sofa butler, which is the best polymerization market for smart TV boxes. We recommend that you use them and then install the most popular applications. For example, all kinds of live broadcasts and on-demand software directly open the sofa butler and choose to install it.

2, U disk installation


Millet box 3 U disk installation application

Open the "App Store", and did not find the previously familiar "local installation" and "remote installation", then the use of U disk can also install third-party applications to the box?


I inserted the U disk into the box, opened the HD player, and found that the box did not recognize the U disk (the enhanced version was directly identifiable). I turned off the "ADB" debugging and tried again.


Turn off "ADB" to identify the U disk after debugging.


Press the "OK" button on the remote control to open the U disk to find the sofa butler, and then press the remote control to confirm that it can be installed.

3, wireless installation


Set a folder on the computer to "shared". In the same LAN, the millet box 3 can directly access the shared folder on the PC side.


After entering the shared folder on the PC, find the sofa housekeeper saved here. Click on the remote controller to start the installation procedure.

Fourth, live test


The live broadcast is of course related to the condition of the network. I first tested the network speed of Xiaomi Box 3. The status is very good. You can watch the super clear broadcast.


Use HDP live CCTV-5 HD channel to watch NBA live broadcast, normal play, no pause.


Using TV live, watching CCTV-4 China News, playing normally.


Using the live streaming of VST, some channels cannot play or play Caton.
From the playback effect of the above three live broadcast softwares, the network connection speed of Xiaomi Box 3 is quite awesome. Of course, the live broadcast effect is not only related to hardware, but also related to the playback software, server, live broadcast source, and network environment. As long as the appropriate live broadcast software, the millet box 3 is broadcast without any pressure.

V. On-demand testing


Use the millet box to bring the GITV video resource library to play. Super-clear movies can be fast-forwarded, fast-forwarded, and non-stopped. The resources of GITV are very rich. I don't need to introduce more here.


Millet Box 3 On Demand

Use VST all-aggregate to watch the TV show “Ban List”, with clear picture quality and no pause.


Millet Box 3 On Demand "Three Dads"

Use the pudding video to watch “Three Dads” (video source from Sohu), playing normally.

Judging from the several different on-demand broadcast tests introduced above, Xiaomi Box 3's ability to deal with online on-demand is more than sufficient.

Six, local 4K playback test

Tested using H265 code "Hokkaido Flower Sea", "Savored Sichuan cuisine", "Geographic Scenery", millet box 3 can play perfectly.

Seventh, somatosensory test


Millet box 3 somatosensory game test


In the game center, enter the "gym" and open the "sense gym". When the system is opened for the first time, the system will automatically install the game hall.


There are 7 free games such as sprint, badminton, bowling, and baseball in the game hall. You can also see that the next update is November 10th. I believe that more free items will be added later.


For a 100-meter sprint, the remote control tilts at different angles and the frequency of the arm swing determines the running speed.



In tennis, there are tips for playing before the start.


Bowling items also have tips on the screen. More exercises will be very skillful to play somatosensory games.

Several free-to-play games that come with the millet box 3 can be quickly started. The living room in the home immediately becomes a gym. Men, women, and children can exercise without leaving home.

Eight, voice search


Millet Bluetooth Somatosensory Remote Control

Simply press and hold the "House" button in any interface to start voice search. However, Putonghua still has to be a little standard in order to be accurately identified. Sichuan dialect cannot be identified.


Millet Box 3 Voice Search


Trying to speak Putonghua in “Spend one Thousand Bone”, the system immediately displays the four results found.


Among the four results, some of them are resources that Xiaomi brings, and some of them are resources installed under third-party applications. For example, the VST all-aggregated resources above can play normally.

Nine, summary

The appearance of the millet box 3 is the same as that of the 2nd generation enhanced version, except that the two almost-unusable sockets on the back of the 2nd generation enhanced version are deleted, making the box more “focused”. In the process of use, the network connection is stable, local and online playback is normal, and 4K video can be perfectly decoded. The new somatosensory game and voice search also have a better experience. The price of 299 yuan (sold separately somatosensory remote control, then it will spend To a lot of money, hardware and operating system upgrades, this box is worth starting.




Pcb Circuit Boards are widely used in automotive electronics, including power control systems, safety control systems, body electronics systems, and communications.

In the future, automotive electronics will move toward the trend of big functions, namely: mobile communications, multimedia leisure, safe driving assistance (including automatic driving), ride comfort, energy saving (including electric vehicles), protection and preservation, all of which pose challenges to the PCB industry. At the same time, it also provides good development opportunities. For example, autonomous driving will bring large-scale applications of millimeter-wave radar, so the demand for high-frequency PCB boards for radars will be significantly increased, and the value is significantly higher than traditional PCB boards; BMS in electric vehicles is one of the core components. PCB board is one of the basic components of BMS and will benefit from the development of electric vehicles.
