Xiaomi already treasured one of the players with Android TV with the best quality
/ price ratio since the Xiaomi Mi Box S is a very good purchase if you want to experiment with the operating system for televisions. And the Xiaomi Mi TV Stick aims to improve that relationship by offering a smaller device easier to locate on our television (it connects to HDMI and takes up very little space) and with several interesting functions, such as a remote control with buttons integrated to content services on demand.
The Xiaomi Mi TV Stick is an HDMI finger size device that is not too far from the dimensions of a Google Chromecast and that, precisely, has one of these Chromecast integrated through software. Thanks to Android TV, Xiaomi’s new ‘stick’ allows the installation of most streaming apps, including games. Of course, the hardware is somewhat limited since there is only 8 GB of storage ; And the single GB of RAM doesn’t bode well for performance. In addition, the Xiaomi TV Stick lacks a socket to expand memory, something that the Mi Box has.
By simply inserting the device into a free HDMI port, any television becomes a Smart TV. Thanks to the built-in remote control, with the possibility of interacting with Google Assistant by voice , it is possible to move around the system interface as well as control playback and volume. Not only that: the fact of having an integrated Chromecast makes it easy to send all kinds of multimedia content from an Android mobile, including the screen .
The hardware of the Xiaomi Mi TV Stick is somewhat limited, but it is not that it takes too much to access the usual use of Android TV: multimedia playback . For this use, and as long as you do not need too much more, this new Xiaomi is enough.
