Xiaomi’s Mi Box 4K launched in India a few weeks ago. The Android TV-powered TV box allows owners to turn non-smart TVs into smart TVs. It appears Xiaomi will soon launch a smaller device called the Mi TV Stick that performs the same function.
The Mi TV Stick first appeared in a leak last month. The leak revealed a bunch of IoT products that will launch in Europe and on the list is the Mi TV Stick with a May release date.
Today, Xiaomi Germany had a launch event where it announced the Redmi Note 9 series. During the live-stream, the manufacturer shared an image of the Mi TV Stick along with its remote.
The Mi TV Stick is shown in black with a half-gloss and half-matte finish. There is a “Mi” logo etched on the matte half of the TV stick. At the end of the TV stick is an HDMI output port.
The Bluetooth voice remote, which is also black, has dedicated buttons for Netflix and Amazon’ Prime Video. The remote is also home to a circular directional keypad, a dedicated Google Assistant button, a power button, volume control buttons, and navigation buttons.
The image of the TV Stick doesn’t show any other ports but it has been reported that the Mi TV Stick will have a USB port and a MicroSD card slot. It is also rumored to have a price tag of €80.
The launch date is still unknown but we do not expect it will launch before the end of the month.
