At the beginning it was only a rumor, then slowly the rumors about it began to strengthen until the official Xiaomi arrived. We are talking about the rival expectation of the Amazon Fire TV stick, that is the Xiaomi Mi TV Stick which after receiving the European conformity certification, made its first unofficial appearance through a very detailed unboxing where we can admire, in addition to the accessories contained in the box also the key specifications of the recreational product.
From the photos that appeared on the net, the Xiaomi Mi TV Stick will arrive in a package that is very reminiscent of what has already been seen with the Mi TV Box, a package in which the supported services such as Netflix, Disney +, Spotify, Twitch and much more stand out.
Xiaomi Mi TV Stick: precious details emerge thanks to a first unboxing
We can admire in the standard equipment of Mi TV Stick, also the presence of a remote control with support for voice commands, similar to the remote control in combination with the Mi TV Box, as well as a power cable, a power supply in European format and a small manual instruction.
Nothing to say about the design of the Mi TV Stick, considering that it is difficult to diversify such a product, but from unboxing on video it emerged that we have support for Full HD content and that the specifications are composed as follows:
- 1 GB of RAM
- 8 GB of eMMC storage space
- Quad-core 2.0 GHz Cortex-A53 processor with Mali-450 GPU
- Android TV 9.0
- 1080p output
- Bluetooth 4.2
- Voice recognition remote control (Google Assistant)
- Doby Audio, DTS Surround Sound
- Wi-Fi dual band
- Ports: HDMI (2.0a), MicroUSB port
Technical specifications that do not make a miracle cry but which are more than enough to guarantee a noteworthy multimedia experience, allowing you to transform "old" TVs into Smart TVs, provided you have a connectivity that includes an HDMI port. If we have to give credit to the rumors, however, it is rumored that the Mi TV Stick will also have an enhanced variant, capable of playing content in 4K as well as offering 2 GB of RAM.
At the moment, despite the lack of official nature of the product, the Xiaomi Mi TV Stick Global can already be purchased on stores such as AliExpress at a price of 44,76 euros, however a high cost if compared to Stick's Fire TV, often on offer at below 25 euros.
