The Xiaomi Mi TV Stick is up for sale on online retailers like AliExpress, Gearbest, and GizTop but the company is yet to officially announce it. Instead, it is being spotted on certification bureaus like EEC and now even Google Play Console. This clearly suggests its official announcement is not so far away.
The @Xiaomi Mi TV Stick code name "aquaman" MiTV-AESP0 has been certified by Google.
And according to this Geekbench, it's not using a 4K SoC. I guess it's an S805Y.#AndroidTVhttps://t.co/l5XrItLvvW pic.twitter.com/szaqumB3xD

According to the product listings on online retailers, the Xiaomi Mi TV Stick comes in two variants – 1080 (FHD) and 4K (UHD). However, only the former has been spotted on Google Play Console codenamed “aquaman” with model number “MiTV-AESP0”.
The same model was also found listing on Geekbench scoring 547 points and 1482 points in single-core and multi-core tests respectively. According to both the listings, it will be powered by Amlogic S805Y SoC as confirmed earlier with Android TV Pie software.
On the other hand, the 4K version will be powered by Amlogic S905Y2 as per online retailers but it is yet to be listed on Google Play Console. However, as it is already on sale along with the 1080p model, we expect it to receive certification as well in the near future, followed by official announcement.
That said, the Xiaomi Mi TV will compete directly against Amazon Fire TV Stick, which also comes in similar two variants.
