Xiaomi Mi TV Stick Spotted Online with Android TV 9.0 at $80

Xiaomi Mi TV Stick Spotted Online with Android TV 9.0 at $80

By Techtonic group

Xiaomi is apparently working on a new Android TV stick it calls the Mi TV Stick. The listing of the product has now been spotted on online retailer Gearbest and it reveals the design and probable specifications of the dongle.

According to the listing, the Mi TV stick features similar specifications as the Mi Box S, which recently made its way to India as the Mi Box 4K. Going by the listed specifications, the Mi TV stick will feature quad-core Amlogic S905 Y2 Cortex A53 CPU, ARM Mali-G31 MP2 GPU, dual-band WiFi, 2GB of RAM, and 8GB of storage.

Also, the listing mentions that the Mi TV Stick will support 4K HDR Netflix playback and would feature support for Google Assistant in the international version, thanks to Android TV 9.0.

As far as the pricing is concerned, the Mi TV Stick is expected to go on sale at $80. To put that in perspective, the Mi Box S launched at $59. Although the price is not visible at the product listing page, 9to5Google spotted the pricing on Gearbest's search portal.

It is worth noting that this is not the first time we're hearing about Mi TV Stick. Last month, tipster Sudhanshu had tweeted Xiaomi Europe's smart IoT product lineup's roadmap where it was revealed that the Chinese tech giant would probably launch the Mi TV stick this month in Europe.

Since Xiaomi has not made an official announcement regarding the Mi TV Stick just yet, we would recommend you take all these specifications and the alleged pricing with a grain of salt. That said, if the product turns out to launch with these rumored specifications and price tag, would you consider getting one? Let us know in the comments.
