Mi TV Stick leak reveals specs and prices of Xiaomi’s Fire TV Stick rival

The streaming stick will run Android TV 9.0.

What you need to know

  • Key specs of Xiaomi's upcoming Android TV-based Mi TV Stick have surfaced.
  • The Mi TV Stick will apparently be available in two variants: Full HD and 4K.
  • The Full HD version is tipped to be priced at $49, while the 4K version might cost $133.

Xiaomi teased the launch of its first streaming stick based on Google's Android TV platform last month. Ahead of its launch, the upcoming Xiaomi Mi Stick has been listed online by a few retailers, revealing nearly all its key specs and pricing for various markets. An early unboxing video of the Mi TV Stick has surfaced as well, giving us our best look yet at the upcoming streaming stick.

Xiaomi Mi TV Stick listings on AliExpress and GearBest suggest the streaming stick will be offered in two versions. The Full HD version will come with 1GB of RAM and a $49 price tag, while the 4K Mi TV Stick will have 2GB of RAM and a $133 price tag. Since the Mi TV Stick hasn't been officially launched yet, it is possible that the prices listed by AliExpress and GearBest aren't accurate. It is highly unlikely that the 4K Mi TV Stick will be more than twice as expensive as the Mi Box S.

Both versions will feature a quad-core processor, built-in Google Assistant, Dolby Audio and DTS Surround Sound support, and a Bluetooth remote control with dedicated buttons for Netflix and Amazon Prime Video.

The listings also suggest the Mi TV Stick could be launched by the end of this month or early next month. Xiaomi, however, hasn't confirmed any launch date for the streaming stick yet.

More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
