Late last year, realme entered the streaming device category with the launch of the realme 4K Smart Google TV Stick. A few months later, the brand has now debuted its second product in the segment at the realme GT2 Pro launch event in India. The latest streaming device by the company is officially called ‘realme Smart TV Stick’. Let’s check out how it differs from the previous model.
realme Smart TV Stick Specifications and Features
The realme Smart TV Stick looks identical to the realme 4K Smart Google TV Stick. But it comes with watered-down features.
The latest streaming stick from realme is limited to 1080p (FHD) streaming at 60fps. For comparison, the original stick can output up to 4K 60fps. Anyway, just like the old model, the new one also has support for HDR10+.
Going by the supported resolution and HDMI 1.4 connector on the new streaming device, we believe that realme is targeting consumers who want to turn their old HD/FHD non-smart televisions into smart.
Further, both the realme-branded streaming sticks are powered by the same chipset. Although the company does not tell the name, it does mention the CPU configuration. This mysterious chip has a quad-core ARM Cortex-A35 CPU. However, the latest product has only 1GB RAM compared to 2GB on the older one.
Another notable difference between the two is software. As the name suggests, the original realme TV Stick comes with the Google TV interface on top of Android TV 11 operating system. On other hand, the new model lacks Google TV UI but it does have support for all the popular streaming platforms, Chromecast Built-in, and Google Assistant.
Finally, the new streaming stick comes with a MicroUSB port for power input, dual-band WiFi, and Bluetooth 5.0.
realme Smart TV Stick Price and Availability
The realme Smart TV Stick is priced at ₹2,999 in India. In other words, it is ₹1,000 cheaper than the realme 4K Smart Google TV Stick, which retails at ₹3,999.
The streaming device will go on sale starting at 12 PM on April 13. It can be purchased from realme.com, Flipkart, and partner retail stores across the country.
