On February 14, Xiaomi will release the Xiaomi TV Stick 4K in India to mark the launch of its smart TVs there five years earlier. The Mi TV Stick, which was Xiaomi’s first streaming dongle in India and only supported 1080p, has been replaced by the Xiaomi TV Stick 4K. In late 2021, the product was introduced to the world.
The new dongle’s ability to handle the playing video up to 4K resolution is undoubtedly the biggest improvement. Support is provided for both Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. With the new dongle running Android TV 11, the software has also been upgraded. The device that will be sold in India will also support PatchWall, which means that, similar to its smart TVs, Xiaomi will provide a secondary interface in the dongle that enables on-the-fly switching between them.
Enjoy stunning 4K resolution and access to your favorite streaming apps, all in one compact device.
