Xiaomi has officially launched its Xiaomi TV Stick 4K (2nd Gen) in Malaysia, bringing significant upgrades over the 2022 predecessor.
Powerful Performance Upgrade
Under the hood, the second-generation TV Stick 4K comes with a newer 6nm chipset featuring a quad-core Cortex-A55 CPU clocked at up to 2.5GHz and an ARM Mali-G310 V2 GPU. Xiaomi claims up to 80% better CPU performance and a 150% boost in GPU performance compared to the first-generation model.
Memory and storage remain unchanged at 2GB of RAM and 8GB of non-expandable storage.
4K Dolby Vision and HDR10+ Support
On the visual front, the device supports 4K output alongside Dolby Vision and HDR10+ support, addressing a key omission from the first-generation model. Audio support includes Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, while AV1 decoding remains supported.
The device upgrades connectivity with dual-band Wi-Fi 6, replacing the older Wi-Fi 5 standard. It retains Bluetooth 5.2, and users can cast content directly from their devices via Google Cast.
Google TV Interface
The second-generation stick now runs on Google TV, replacing the older Android TV interface. This brings a more content-focused experience with recommendations aggregated across streaming services.
Out of the box, it comes preloaded with apps such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and YouTube.
Pricing and Availability
Xiaomi prices the Xiaomi TV Stick 4K (2nd Gen) at RM219, matching its predecessor launch price. It is available through Xiaomis official online stores on Shopee, Lazada, and Mi.com.
