Xiaomi Mi Box Mini Unvieled - $32 Quad Core Streaming Box

[LAwLz]

 
We already have a thread about the Xiaomi Mi Note, but the company also announced something I think is far more interesting.
The Mi Box mini is a really really tiny Android (4.4.2) powered streaming box. Can we even calling it a streaming box? It's almost as small as the Apple wall wart. The only port on it is a HDMI port. You plug it straight into the wall and then run the HDMI cable (1.5 meter cable included) from it to your TV.
 
 
Specs, cost and other stuff:
Quad core Cortex A7 CPU at 1.3GHz (made by MediaTek).
Mali-450 GPU (specs says "4+2core" so I assume the GPU is a dual core)
1GB of RAM
4GB of onboard storage (no microSD slot)
Dual band 802.11n WiFi. It is nice to see them not cutting cost by removing 5GHz support like we saw Google do with the Chromecast.
Bluetooth 4.0.
A bluetooth remote is included as well as a 1.5 meter HDMI cable.
Supports HEVC (H.265) video decoding.
Dolby Digital Plus as well as DTS 2.0 are supported.
¥199 (about 30 dollars)
Goes on sale January 20.

You're probably not going to use Twitter on this one... And you can probably install Cyanogenmod on it.

 

(and yes I know that it's unlikely they'll use the same backdoor twice, butt still)

I dough Xiaomi installed a Trojan. I would most likely blame the other company.

[ForsakenLive]

Cool, but still not there.

I wouldn't mind paying $50 for a version with SD card slot and USB & Ethernet ports.
