Always love watching your reviews.

Thank you, just got mine and about to set up.
Enjoy it
Great little device. If a didn't have a chromecast ultra 4k I would get this
Sounds like a great idea! I yesterday noticed the Realme Stick 4k - apparently not popular at all. But ordered one to see how it compares. Let's hope it will arrive soon 🙂
wow didnt know they made this. i Bought ONN 4k android box so far its better then expected.
The one from Walmart? The price is crazy good!
@@TechMishka right I paid $20
Hi, thank you for the informative video! Would like to enquire though, if Disney + is possible to be played? Thank you
It is.
Does it play indian channels?@@TechMishka
Hey, great video as always! Is it possible to play sdr content in sdr, or does it force hdr on everything? Does it have the setting to turn off sdr to hdr? This is important to avoid getting over saturated colours on sdr content.
Did you find an answer to this? My tv has bad hdr and would like to universally turn it off
@@christoffer98
You can easily disable it in the settings.
Great video and review!
Would it be worth update from the (3year?) old one?
It sometimes lags on buffer in Chromecast/streaming, slow start and slower respons.
I kind used to this problems but if I see fast and butter smooth the new works 🙂
if you need something much faster and smoother - perhaps nVidia SHield TV is the quickest among all. But this one definitely feels snappy.
Go to developer setting and disable all animations. Also, limit background app. I did that with my mi stick and no hang, lag at all. I also attached nvme heatsink on the stick to help dissipate some heat of the casing. Though I have given away mine, after using for two years, it served its purpose well
Bought one and I’m looking forward to receive it - I have heard that we can expand storage using an OTG adapter … if that’s important to some people it’s a good idea to do some research on that. Nice video !
Yeah, OTG will work and is nice to have more storage.
@@TechMishka have it for about a month as I said and I’m surprised with the performance and very happy with the portability! I’m currently on vacation and brought it with me - i have Netflix, HBOMax, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+ and I can have the chance to see them all without any problems in any hotel i stay in. I have an Android Box , Hako Pro with 4gb and 64gb of ram but I’m a huge fan of this small factor format which is easy to carry and as much effective as a bigger and higher spec box (only noticeable thing is a faster loading times but not by far). The OTG works like a charm too, and I’ve had the chance of playing games with a remote and also expanding storage (which is not very important in my personal opinion)
@@joaoreis1079 Does it has twitch?
hey , can I ask you does it overheat at constant using for long hours ?
@@sorrysan6779never noticed that. It works fine as far as I know. Just be careful not to use up the storage because it will start slowing down a bit . And when connecting with tv usb it will start when turning the tv on, so it will need some time to stabilize
Nice vid still 2 years later.
if I use this stick on a 21:9 1440P monitor, can I used the monitor's USB ports in conjuction with the stick ? Probably not... How do I connect keyboard and mouse to control Android, can I? Else, I might get more from Samsung DeX since I have some Samsung phones?
Unfortunately you can't do the trick with the monitor USB ports.
You can buy however an OTH cable with USB port and it will work ☺️
Great and to the point
How did you connect the controller to play games?
It's a bluetooth controller - so that has been easy.
@@TechMishka my nba app?
Hello, can third party application installed?
Does it have chrome in play store?
Sure (about the apps). No chrome for Android TV
If I use it do I need a dstv as well or the channels on dstv can still work on it only
Great review. Congratulations. The new mi stick 4k is compatible with HDR 10 and HDR normal?
Yes, it is.
@@TechMishka cool. Thanks. Andre from 🇧🇷
Saya menggunakan nya juga,mdh2 an tdk ada kendala,pemakaian saya satu harian dan panasnya normal
👍👍
Can you test DTS:X / HD Master Audio / TrueHD?
Yeah, I can give it a try as long as you give some more specific use case/app you are interested in.
@@TechMishka best case would be plex with for example an uhd blu-ray rip connected to an avr/soundbar that would indicate if any of the Audio tracks are bitstreamed. If not Plex VLC and Just Player also have audio passthrough options
Second this. I have an LG sk10y soundbar and the only way for me to get Dolby Atmos true HD would be to plug an Nvidia Shield into it. If Mi 4k would achieve that effect it would save me a lot money. Can you try an atmos trueHD mkv with this stick plugged into a soundbar and tell me whether you're getting atmos sound?
@@HamanuOp I actually have the same setup and my Mi TV Stick 4K should arrive in the next 2 days so I can comment here with an update
@@meco Bless you :) I can't afford the Shield at this time and I would really like to hear TrueHD Atmos for once :) I'll keep an eye on this channel for your test results.
Thanks for the video, can we cast/mirror macbook to xiaomi tv stick? (considering they are connected to same wifi)
Also, does xiaomi tv stick have bluetooth connectivity?
It has Bluetooth. Not sure about casting from mac though.
Did you pair xiaomi remote to your TV over CEC? What happens if you long press volume buton? Is volume increasing automatically or only for one stage?
Hey Miran, good question. But I haven't used CEC as I have connected it to a plain monitor for the test.
Does it work with a Tv that is not smart (android )
Sure - this is the whole idea - to be able to turn even basic monitors into TVs.
@@TechMishka thanks for the feedback
My love this
🙃
Nice review! Question: does it support OTG?
Still trying to figure out.
@@TechMishka Yes or No answer ? :)
Tnx.
@@TechMishka I can confirm OTG is working through a powered micro usb hub 👍🏻
edit: Mass storage as well as ethernet work :)
@@meco have u tried it?
@@harrybal5399 yes
Hi, Like the Realme tv stick does it support OTG . I saw you used one in Realme stick’s review
Yup! The OTG didnt arrive on time for the test here 😕
Can we sideload apps in it like we do in smartphone?
Please tell me this.. iam thinking to buy this stick.
Not that easily. It can work, but it is not as straightforward as with Android.
I think it will be cool to have support to micro SD card slot. As 8GB may not be enough to store videos.
True that!
Its for app storage not videos. Haha
You can buy an adapter for thumb drive to add additional storage
@@ZahirTini Yeah but what if it doesn't support NTFS when you want to watch something 4k from external drive? The Google TV 4k its the same - no NTFS support, only Fat 32 which means nothing above 4GB.
@@debnadaebna9981 If it supports exFat then maybe above 4GB will work?
Works perfectly , no regret ..
👍
Chromecast with android os, i think is better because you can connect a dongle with usbc, have ethernet jack and external storage support. Also downside, if you connect this at the back of a tv, it will eat some space ad can have the tv near the wall..
Yeah, always the big challenge - fight with space and cable management. You are totally right!
"..and external storage support" - sure, but is it like Google TV 4k with no NTFS support, only Fat 32 which means nothing above 4GB? If yes, this makes it useless if you want to watch 4k movie or even full hd that is above 4GB from external storage...
I heard it can also be used even in an ordinary LED tv. Is it true? Or only for smart tv?
Correct. You can well use it even with a simple LEDmonitor.
Is it works for very old smart tv? Or its some minimum specs for tv?
Compared to Mecool kd 3 4k stick what is different.
There is a saying: "I am not so rich to buy cheap things."
True that! But I also have a rule that I follow - when I want to get to know some sort of tech that I intend to use, I buy a second-hand unit from a previous generation to get to know what I really need.
In fact - this player is not much worse than nVidia Shield TV for daily use.
The real important things Does it really support Dolby vision and Dolby Atmos with Netflix because the old one has the Comcast and voice control
Yup - also pointed on Xiaomi's website.
@@TechMishka very nice thanks
Amazing review 💙
Why can't I find any official information about the CPU clock speed? They only say Quad Core Cortex A35, but the speed of each core? do you have any info?
For example: "Chromecast with Android TV" is also Quad Core, but Cortex A55, with 1.9 GHz clock rate.
I will check this later - if I forget to respond here, please send me a reminding email
It's standard S905Y4. CCwGTV 4K is S905D3G(about S905X2) Mi Box/Mi Box S is S905X.
No, it is not a "charging cable", there isn't anything to charge there, that's just a power cable.
Fair enough, point taken.
You must be fun at parties..
@@tixastronauta 🤣🤣🤣
@@tixastronauta do you think he gets invited
Look at this Harvard ass nigga
Hi. With regards to the android tv version 11 on the xiao mi stick, that os is not upgradeable for the mi box s 4k?
The mi box can't be updated tho the stick can be. 🍀
The standard Google play store on smart TV is restricting apps to install, does this stick make it possible to install the same amounts of apps as on an Android phone?
It is android TV based, so all these restrictions apply. You can still use alternatives like Aptoide, though.
Hello great rewiew 👍
For this xiaomi Mi stick 4k can I use my USB on my television to power it??
Instead of the power socket that comes in the box with it?
Hope you can answer this question 🤔
That I haven't tried myself - but it should work that way, yes. It will require less than 2A. Most TV's USB ports can provide that much of energy.
Are they available here in Australia ?? Cause so far I haven't seen any yet or most probably won't.
I believe they are
what is the launcher? i cannot find in the description
Android tv software. Hope it helps 🍀
Hey! I recently bought a projector 1080p native. But it can support 4k and HDR 10. If I buy a 4k tv stick, is it gonna give me the best resolution?
It will receive 4k and output 1080p.
I am using it now but has a problem with Disney+ sound, and wonder if it happens to you and others. I plug this Xiaomi 4k tv stick directly to the HDMI port of my AV AMP (a 2018 model Onkyo) and Disney+ only output 2 channel sound. In contrast, the Netflix app can output Dolby Atmos under the exact same setup. Any advice? Thanks
Hmm, this is interesting. If Netflix works fine, then could it be the Netflix app?
Can I autoswitch AFR 24/50 fps in a Netflix app? Can you try it?
Will try it.
Maybe you can use OTG Cable with that microusb for conectivity ports with some usb hub.
OTG works fine.
You can use a splitter cable on that micro usb, the one that splits into micro usb female for power and usb female to connect whatever you wish
Yup - this is a great idea. Most stores call it OTG cable.
Loved your review. did you experience any overheating issues in the new mi tv stick 4k? the old 1080 mi tv stick has issues with getting very hot and laggy then restarting by itself.
I'm currently scouring the web looking for a fix. It's on a restart loop
I haven't got into overheating, but I guess if I push it enough for long enough, it will become quite hot.
Mine gets hot after about 20 minutes, and starts restarting by itself. I wouldn’t recommend this product for anyone.
Hi, can this also be used on a smart tv? I just want to have acces to app store and download apps that is not avail on app store on my smart tv. Thank you in advance!
Sure, you can use it on any device with HDMI input.
I love it, I recommend it
Does it have App IPTV like its previous Version MI to watch foreign countries channels?
Hi! I'am in the way to buy one of these: Mi Box S or maybe Mi Stick 4k! Which one do you recommend? Thanks in advance
The Xiaomi 4K TV stick has a newer processor and SoC, however the Mi Box S has better temperature management and a physical USB port.
@@TechMishka True and false. The new xiaomi 4k stick has a 35% more efficiently SoC and processor with lower temperature. So the issue of the older models (1080p sticks) are solved. More: the OS of xiaomi 4k stick is Android TV 11 and finally has the newest codecs: Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, both future proof as the Alliance will turn them imperative codecs starting this year. The real advantage of Xiaomi S Box is fiability, stability and no problems at all. Sorry for this dive into the matter
So it needs to be plugged in to be able to use the stick? I thought it was for charging only?
Yes, you need power input in order the Mi TV Stick 4K to work. It has no in-built battery.
You can use a power bank as well.
Mecool km2 vs mi stick 4k ?
I see that the remote have IR. Can we program it to switch on/off our TV/soundbar?
Not available in the menus...
Hello sir.
I'm in love with your voice settings.
Could you please share the settings for voice recording?
Best of luck
Sure, I can share with you my preset, but note that it is tuned according to the microphone used.
Feel free to send me an email about it.
@@TechMishka thank you very much sir. The email is sent
What is that bar on top of your TV?
Can you please do a update on your mi tv stick 4k and let me know is it working smooth ? 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Yup, it is still working fine
Any idea if it have AFR?
It is not announced as part of the features - so I guess not.
@@TechMishka Usually AFR is never announced or talk as a feature in devices and need to be checked individually. Thanks 👍🏼
Did you done a lastest update , if yes , does the mi tv 4k stick still work perfect after the update ?
I haven't applied the update yet
@@TechMishka can you please do a update and then is all the apps working smooth and how is the wifi on it and let know when turn it on is fast .
Can we use remote from this stick to control the TV as we can with Chromecast 4?
Not that I managed to find a way doing it...
So it's the same as the Box version? No reason to get it if u have the old one
I suggest the stick. As the box has outdated version and can't be updated. The stick can be updated. Hope it helps 🍀
Heating issues ? Chromecast 4 or mi tv stick 4k which one is better kindly guide me ? Thanks
Hey Bilal, thanks for the comment. I believe both devices are excellent. The Mi TV Stick 4K gets warm, however I never got it overheating.
@@TechMishka sir is the mi tv stick 4k restart issue? Any other problem with that please guide me i make my desion to buy or not .. i value only ur feedback
Does it play Dolby ATMOS on Netflix ? My existing FireTV stick 4K plays ATMOS content only on Prime Video but not in Netflix.
Not sure about this, sadly.
How many speakers can connect?
Does it stay on the charger or not
Due to its compact size and processing power can it handle the heat dissipation?
Yes, no issues with heat, unlike the 1080p edition.
Vs mecool km2? In terms of soc,audio video codec support, connection types,and future proofing
I will just mention Netflix...
KM2 seems to be better in terms of hardware.
Any buffering issues streaming 4K content over WiFi in TH-cam or Netflix since it's got no LAN port.
If your WiFi signal is good - not at all. These days WiFi can be as reliable as cable LAN.
Can you install TH-cam Vanced and Kodi?
How many bluetooth 5.0 speakers can be connected
does it crashing or laghing when playing a 1-3 hours of movie?
(I've got a great signal wifi)
No, it is fine
why its not showing to my xiaomi redmi note 11 when i try to cast my phone..but other mi tv stick of my neighbors is showing to my phone
Interesting case. Might be the ROM that you are using. Is it official Global version?
Maybe micro USB port can use with OTG. And then you can use external USB devices. Maybe someone can do it? I want to know. Please test it.
Yup, works fine.
Xiaomi TV Stick 4K VS Mi tv box S ? Which is stronger and faster? And does this stick heat up like the older model?
The stick is cooler than the 1080p edition, but still quite warm. The Mi Box S performance is more consistent and you do have a USB port.
Did they solve the all others mi boxes bug , the HDR bug?
. If you play a hdr it doesnt exit bt2022 color space and you need to close a little the device.
hven't seen this with TVStick 4K.
If i by this one any additional charge or monthly recharge something
Only if you use subscription-based services
without LAN connection possibly, I can’t get this. my wifi isn’t as consistent to stream 4k movies with dropping resolutions
You need a HDMI port. And if the wifi is connected to the tv it is good to go. hope it helps 🍀
Had to get brand new remote and cannot pair it. Tried xiaomi button togethere with home as well as reboot stick whisllst enter and back presses, bootmenu not coming in. Any advices?
Appreciate!
Hmm, this is weird. A factory reset would be a desperate thing to do, but maybe worth trying?
@@TechMishka yes, but old remote is lost. I dont have any paired. Can I pair without entering Mi's option to start pairing?
Do a comparison between meecool kd3 and Xiomi tv stick 4K
I will consider . Thanks!
with the mi tv 4k stick and a ogt cable , Can i use a SanDisk Ultra Dual Drive Luxe USB Type-C 64GB - 150MB/s, USB 3.1 Gen 1 ?
Yes, but transfer speed will be much slower than the capacity of your storage.
@@TechMishka What do you mean ?
i have bought xiaomi mi tv stick 4k but unfortunately I cannot download or update any prefixed app as only showing pending ,,, pls do you have any solution
Factory reset? Or leave it alone for 20-30 minutes until it updates the Google Play services.
What about the afr? Is it fixed?
I haven't heard anything about it
Is there a lag problem like on Mi Box S after few week of use?
It lags a little after a few days. NVidia shield TV behaves about the same way.
Funciona a função OTG?
Looks like not.
@@TechMishka vc tem algum adaptador pra testar?
Hello Tech4All!
I'm interested if I buy this stick and use a micro USB-OTG+a USB Hub with Ethernet slot,can I use it with wired internet?My Wifi is not so good because of the wide walls at home.
Thanks for help.
Not sure if it will work, as it has to be supported in the OS too. better ask Xiaomi's support.
@@TechMishka thanks for fast answer.
Hi, you think it's better than Realme 4k stick?
I don't know, this is why I have the Realme 4K stick on its way and will find that out.
Espero actualicen la mi box s a un Android más reciente, saludos y like
Hope to see regular updates too!
Does it support automatic refresh rate matching?
Not sure about this. It is for sure not advertised.
Does this stick support Dolby Vision profile 8 videos?
I don't think so.
Does this work with android 4.4 TV's?
Yup
does it support hbo go??
Yes, you can run it.
Hey, good explanation always, could you suggest me which one is the good TV stick.
In India we have may companies(Xiaomi,Realme,motorola) are selling theses TV sticks , so confused a lot and so I'm looking for Android one.
So, Xiaomi-TV stick 4k or Motorola TV stick which one should purchase. pls suggest ??
you should go for the xiaomi 4k one.i have used realme and xiaomi but xiaomi is just the best
don`t see a reason to import more than 2 gigs of ram since androidTV consumes substantially less resources than a regular one.
Would be helpful for some heavier games.
I guess this is a bit far fetched. It`s a steaming device in the first place
Is disney+ available?
It is
Can I use it on a TV that's not android?
Sure. It will work fine as long as the TV or monitor supports HDMI input.
If tv does not support 4k can it run in 720 p
Sure
Hi does it upscale image?
The same way most other TV boxes do too.
What about Screen Sharing from Android phone (not using chromecast)?
You can use alternative apps for that.
@@TechMishka so it's not possible with this?
And which apps can do that for instance?
Where is link for this "launcher" and app for changing button layout on Mi Stick remote?
Use the app ''Button Mapper'' and you can change the layout of the keys.
@@TechMishka And what is name for "launcher"?
@@matiko13 Type button mapper on store bro
It includes tod ?
No, it doesn't include any subscriptions.
i wanna to know any reason i need to buy Mi stick 4K represent chromecast with google tv?
Chromecast is build-in google tv. Hope it helps 🍀. But as well the Mi stick has Netflix. Prime video and other apps. as google tv only has its own property apps.
@@urstyer thanks
Uhm if ever ur tv is not supported 4k can this stick make it happen?
Nop
Do you neer power adapter?
Yeah - it is needed for the USB cable. You can use a power bank, alternatively.
Is chromecast streaming on this one good? I mean can you cast a film from a laptop to tv without latency (on tv screen) with good internet?
Why not just connect your PC with HDMI or something?
@@JubbLaRacing That's the very reason I want chromecast, not moving my laptop from desk and still stream movies to tv. I got good internet but just want to know is it capable of, or should I just get google chromecast 3 or with google tv for same purpose.
@@carlo1998ct What's the point of having a laptop if you can't even move it?
Maybe just get a long cable.
@@carlo1998ct Also if all you want to do is watch movies and series you should just get a Chromecast or something and watch it on that.
Yes, works totally fine.
