Xiaomi TV Stick 4K review

25 March 2023


Sort by:

This device is almost perfect. It does everything I want it to do and more. It works fast and rarely drops out or buffers. It's only problem is after 20 minutes after turning the tv on, if it isn't used in that 20 minutes it times out. The only way to start it up again is to unplug the power cable and plug it back in. I fear this will shorten it's life with the constant unplugging. Such a pity.

        I regret buying this piece of shit, it's like nine months now. It overheats and keeps on going off and freezing with no reason, and no I didn't download many apps

          Fire stick does not have Android, it's a huge deal breaker and main reason fire stick is inferior

            I have stick 4k, maybe last year model or so. Interesting to mention is that usb supports otg and ethernet!!! Just buy vheap from aliexpress for raspberry pi, for 7 euro, it has microusb and us , so it transfers power too. Good to mention, if power from usb is to weak, it will affect wifi (automatically turn it off)

Bought phones back in 2016, 2017 and 2020 and they're all still in daily usage with original parts. Then I have some niche products from them like action camera, old tv box and a flower monitor stick, no troubles there either

                      I bought MI TV stick I have very very bad experience with MI products, as MI give only one year product warranty and MI TV stick after one year it will stop working some other options and I had took the devise to the service centre they said that as it’s not in warranty there is no repairs and no replacement. Think 1000 times before you buy MI product. MI quality of the product is very very cheap. They attack the people by marketing words but MI product is one of the worst product. If you wanted get experience than waste your money get experience. I suggest you not to buy any product of MI reason is after 1 year there products will stopped working. I have wasted my money don’t waste yours. Thank you

                                Nice information.
                                Then it's a good alternative to Fire TV 4k Max !
                                ...as Google's store is more interessant than Amazon's.

                                Keep my Fire TV 4k Max, but if I haven't, I will probably choose Xjaomi's stick instead now.
