Overview

• Xiaomi listed the 2nd-gen TV Stick on AliExpress on July 25 without any formal launch announcement
• It ships with Google TV, replacing the original’s Android TV interface for a more intuitive UI and smarter content recommendations
• The dongle supports 4K video with Dolby Vision and HDR10+ as well as Dolby Atmos and DTS:X audio formats
• Under the hood is a quad-core Cortex-A35 processor paired with an ARM G310 V2 GPU, 2 GB of RAM, and 8 GB of storage, with Xiaomi claiming up to 80% faster performance
• The $65 stick offers Wi-Fi 6 and HDMI 2.1 connectivity but still relies on a micro-USB port and has no confirmed launch outside China
