Xiaomi is known for many products and one of them is smart TVs as well as related products. The Mi Box S, which recently launched as Mi Box 4K in India is one of the most popular cheap Android TV setup boxes. It initially debuted in late 2018, almost 2 years back. Hence, it is expected to get an upgrade soon. But instead of a box, Xiaomi will be announcing an Android TV stick dubbed as Mi TV Stick.
This is not the first time we are hearing about the Mi TV Stick. It already got leaked with other Xiaomi ecosystem products that are expected to launch in Europe in the coming months. But this time, it has been listed on Gearbest, a Chinese online retailer. As a result of it, we now know the specifications as well as price (sort of).
According to the listing, the Mi TV Stick will be powered by the same Amlogic S905 quad-core processor as the Mi Box S but a Y2 version. Further, graphics will be handled by Mali-G31 GPU and it will come with 2GB RAM along with 8GB internal storage.
It will have support for 4K HDR, DTS-HD, Dolby Audio, Netflix, dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth 4.2, HDMI 2.0, and USB Type-C. It will run Android TV with support for apps and games from the Google Play Store.
Interestingly, the description given on the Gearbest page does not mention remote control. But since the page also mentions the support for Google Assistant, it should definitely come with one.
Last but not least, the price is not given on the product listing page, however, it shows up in search results. According to it, the upcoming Mi TV Stick will cost $79.99, which is $20 more than the launch price of Mi Box S but it could be cheaper than that.
