OUR TAKE

Most buyers who want Google TV, 32GB storage and a flexible main-TV setup.

Here's the case for it, along with the things we'd check before buying.

What makes it worth a look

  • 32GB storage gives more breathing room for apps and updates
  • Dolby Vision support suits compatible HDR TVs
  • Google TV keeps the platform familiar and app-focused
  • Wi-Fi 6 support for modern wireless networks

What to check first

  • No built-in Ethernet and only 2GB RAM.
  • No built-in Ethernet port, so wired networking needs another route
  • 2GB RAM is adequate rather than class-leading

Our take

The Xiaomi TV Box S (3rd Gen) is the strongest general-purpose choice in the current ViewHarbour shortlist. It combines Google TV, 32GB storage, 4K, Dolby Vision, Wi‑Fi 6 and a full-size USB port without moving into premium pricing.

Who it suits

Choose it for a main television if you want a larger app library, mainstream certification and a simple Google TV experience.

What to know first

The main compromises are 2GB RAM and no built-in Ethernet. If wired networking is essential, the Google TV Streamer is the better fit.
