So your TV also doesn't have or need what you're mistaking aka a micro-USB connection or usb-C connection -- get it?

Anders, 29 Sep 2020I don't know why anyone bought the Mi TV stick when 1,... moreFist because of the form factor (disappointing heat dissipation and performance though). Second because 1080P is all i needed from the form factor. Third because was less than 40$ in my country (close to 30$ now if ordered from China). In my country we don't have official Google distribution channels so something like Chromecast 3 is ~44$ instead of 30$ so the new Android TV version we'll be more than 70$ here, not 50.
Still will buy it at a sale sometimes and get rid of stupid Mi TV Stick. Mi Box S was a great product by comparison though...

YUKI93, 29 Sep 2020Ugghhh... really hate those dongle design because of that h... moreI agree. Basically I was hoping for the Fire 4K stick but with proper Android TV app support.
But even with its inferior design I think at $49 it's a good buy

So 4GB then right? Pretty low. 8GB would've been good if it supports Android TV/Google TV app downloads

Ugghhh... really hate those dongle design because of that hanging cable. Why don't I see a much more powerful version of Xiaomi's Mi TV Stick? If I can have that Chromecast spec in a USB stick, that would be epic.

RIP Mi TV Stick. Sold my old Mi Box to get the stick because I used to take my Mi Box in holidays with me and at home the old TV I use it with is FHD anyways.
Worst decision ever: it's slow and it overheads even while just streaming Youtube or Netflix and sometimes stutters while streaming also.
I will sell it or move it to the TV in the kitchen and get the new Chromecast.

The remote does in fact have an IR blaster actually. You're able to use it to change the TV's actual volume, power it on and off, and change the input even while not really using the Chromecast itself yet (In the settings, you can change between the IR blaster method, or the other)

The USB-C port is for power, not for peripherals. You plug it to the TV or to an outlet like you have with previous Chromecasts.
