The Xiaomi Mi Box 4 is a smart setup box, which can convert a standard television into a smart television, which was originally launched in China, with the Android 7 Nougat operating system with minimal custom UI elements on the top. Xiaomi has finally rolled out a new firmware for the Mi Box 4, which will update the Mi Box 4 to the latest Android Oreo OS.

 

How to install the update?

Connect the Xiaomi Mi Box 4 to a Wi-Fi connection and go to setting, about device and press on system update to install the latest software from Xiaomi. Do note that the update is based on Android 8 Oreo, not the Android 8.1 Oreo. The update is around 620 MB and it might take anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour depending on your Wi-Fi speeds.
