With the same black design on the stick and remote as the last year’s TV stick, it appears to offer the same design. The remote has two branded buttons, one for Prime Video and the other for Netflix, although depending on where you are in the world, these may alter as well. The key upgrade this time is the ability to play a 4K video, while the previous Mi TV Stick could only handle up to 1080p video.
Xiaomi TV Stick 4K specifications and features
The Xiaomi TV Stick 4K is a credible competitor to the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K and Realme 4k Smart Google TV Stick, thanks to Android TV 11 and hardware decoding support for AV1 and HDR 10+. Xiaomi did not specify which chipset is used, although prior leaks suggested the Amlogic S905Y4, which matches Xiaomi’s description of Quad-core Cortex-A35 processor. It further comes with 2GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage onboard, which boots the Android TV 11 platform with Chromecast to cast directly from smartphones as well.
