Xiaomi TV Stick 4K (2nd Gen) Officially Revealed: Now Smarter with Google TV and Wi-Fi 6

Xiaomi has officially launched the TV Stick 4K (2nd Gen) globally. 

Xiaomi has officially introduced the second-generation Xiaomi TV Stick 4K. This updated streaming device builds on the original 2021 model with a range of meaningful upgrades in software, hardware, and connectivity. The new release brings Google TV to the platform, replaces the older processor, and enhances the overall streaming experience.

One of the biggest updates is the shift from Android TV 11 to the newer Google TV operating system. This gives users a more personalized interface with content recommendations across apps like Netflix, YouTube, and Amazon Prime Video. Xiaomi TV+ also comes pre-installed, adding to the list of available streaming services. With built-in Google Cast, it's easy to mirror content directly from your phone or tablet to the big screen.

The Xiaomi TV Stick 4K (2nd Gen) supports 4K resolution and is fully compatible with Dolby Vision, HDR10+, Dolby Atmos, and DTS-X. This combination delivers sharp visuals and immersive sound, especially when paired with a compatible TV or sound system. A dedicated Google Assistant button on the included remote allows for hands-free voice search and smart home control.

Under the hood, the device sees a performance boost thanks to a new quad-core Cortex-A55 processor, replacing the older Cortex-A35. It’s paired with an ARM G310 V2 GPU, a step up from the previous Mali G31 MP2. The RAM and storage remain the same at 2GB and 8GB respectively, which is sufficient for most streaming needs.

Connectivity also improves with support for dual-band Wi-Fi 6, offering faster and more stable streaming. Bluetooth 5.2 is included as well, along with HDMI 2.1 and Micro USB ports for seamless integration with your TV setup. The stick is slightly larger than its predecessor, measuring 107.4 x 30 x 14 mm and weighing just 44 grams, but still compact enough to stay out of sight behind your screen.

Currently, the Xiaomi TV Stick 4K (2nd Gen) is available via AliExpress for PHP 2,553.07 with a 46% discount. However, Xiaomi has yet to announce official pricing or availability in local markets. The listing on the global website suggests that a broader rollout is coming soon.

For those looking to upgrade their TV’s smart capabilities without buying a whole new screen, this refreshed Xiaomi stick is a solid option. It’s compact, powerful, and runs the latest software for an improved streaming experience.
