A small device that offers\nAndroid TV OS\nwith all the certificates to playback at the highest quality the streaming platforms.\nThe Android TV\nMi TV Stick 4K\nhas the recent SoC\nAmlogic S905Y4\nvery similar to the S905W2 that we have seen in other devices in TV-Stick format. We have the\nAndroid TV 11 Certified\nsystem, by default it comes with a\nBluetooth remote\ncontrol and integrates a microphone for the\nGoogle Assistant\nwith which we can control this device. It also offers us\nChromecast\nand the necessary certificates for\nNetflix 4K HDR\nand similar services, it also supports\nDolby Vision and Atmos\n.\nLet’s check in our review how this new\nXiaomi TV Stick 4K\nbehaves and what it offers us with respect to its rivals in the same sector.\nXiaomi TV Stick 4K\ncan be purchased at\nAmazon\nor\nAliExpress \nonly for\n$64\n with shipping cost included.\nTable of Contents\nProduct details for Xiaomi TV Stick 4K\nXiaomi TV Stick 4K\n(MDZ-27-AA)\nSoC: Amlogic S905Y4 Quad Core 4x ARM-A35 @ 2GHz (64bit) \/ GPU Mali-G31 MP2 \/ 12nm.\nSystem: Android TV 11 (32bit).\nMemory and network: 2GB RAM LPDDR4 \/ 8GB eMMC \/ Wifi ac + Bluetooth 5.0.\nPorts: HDMI 2.1 \/ 1x micro USB 2.0 OTG.\nExtras: BT Remote \/ Manual \/ HDMI Cable \/ Adapter DC 5V 1A (5W).\nMaterials and dimensions: Plastic \/ Status LEDs \/ 107 x 30 x 15 mm \/ 43 gr.\nUnboxing\nThe new\nXiaomi TV Stick 4K\ncomes in a classic cardboard box with the product image in the upper area. Inside we find the small TV-Stick, remote control, HDMI cable, 5V 1A charger and a first steps manual.\nDescription\nThe\nXiaomi TV Stick 4K\noffers a classic design in the line of the previous Stick of the brand. As connectors we only have the micro USB OTG port and the front HDMI 2.1 male.\nWe also have\nBluetooth remote control\nthat has a microphone for Google Assistant, at the top we have two status LEDs. We are surprised by the inclusion of a dedicated key for\nPatchWalk\nthe Xiaomi launcher, we can change the use of some keys\nremapping them for other functions\n.\nThis small TV-Stick has a\nWifi aC + Bluetooth 5.0\nchip and has an internal wifi antenna. The\ncooling system works very well\nbecause it does not lose any performance. We do not have a reset button, updates can only be done through Xiaomi’s online OTA system.\nRemote Control\n: Basic\nBT Remote\nwith mic \/ Compatible with keyboard and mouse \/ App control for\nAndroid TV\n.\nWe have a\nmicro USB 2.0 OTG\nport that allows us to connect a\nUSB + Ethernet HUB\nwith power connector, this allows us to connect peripherals and\nexpand the internal storage\nwith a USB memory. The speed of this port allows us to reach up to about\n220 MB\/s\nand the Android TV system detects perfectly this connector in the settings.\nUSB port\n: It allows us to connect a\nUSB 3.0 HUB\n+\nmicroUSB OTG\ncable, for peripherals or to add Ethernet.\nSystem and Performance\nEnvironment and Android system\nOnce we have started the\nMi TV Stick 4K\nwe find the configuration wizard. It is possible to adjust the Wi-Fi, define which apps will be installed by default and select the type of content we want to see on the main screen. Once the configuration is finished, we arrive at the\nAndroid TV\nlauncher designed to be controlled by remote control. When we update the apps the home launcher will change to\nGoogle TV\nwith a more modern design. The\noverall performance is good\n, we can move smoothly and quickly between menus and different apps.\nLauncher\n: We can\nchange de the launcher\n \/ Android UI rendering at 1080p.\nMultitasking and access\n: Multitasking NOT available \/ Notifications the upper icon.\nLanguages and Google Play\n: All the international Android languajes \/ Google Play for Android TV installed.\nCheck our \nAndroid TV User Manual\n \nto install classic Android Apps, prevent screen rotation and much more.\nAs a novelty we have the\nPatchWalk\napp which is a western version of the Launcher used by Xiaomi in China. A more colorful presentation of content that has little practical use.\nSystem\nWe take a look at the system data and the options it includes, we also observe what boot options this device allows us. This TV-Box will have\nupdates via OTA\nto correct possible failures, security updates and bug fixes.\nOn\/Off Controls\n: Sleep mode \/ Shutdown settings available.\nSystem version and root\n: Android TV 11 (32 bit) \/ NO rooted \/ NO root menu \/ CPU r0p1 (S905Y4) \/ Model MiTV-AYFR0.\nSupport\n: Xiaomi OTA support \/ IMG firmware NOT available, only OTA update.\nNetwork, storage, RAM and ports\nThe\nXiaomi Mi TV Stick 4K\nhas\n2 GB\nof RAM DDR4 memory and for storage we have options with\n8 GB\neMMC that we can expand with a USB memory. In the network section it has a\nWifi ac + Bluetooth 5.0\nwireless adapter that as we can see in the tests the results are good. It is possible to use a Gigabit Ethernet adapter using the\nmicro USB OTG 2.0\nport but the speed is limited to the speed of this connector, about\n220 Mbps\n.\nNetwork\n: Internal Wifi antenna \/ Range -41 dBm \/ Link 5G 280 Mbps \/ Ethernet USB 2.0 \/ Bluetooth OK.\nWe found that the\nperformance of the internal storage is very good\nand moves the system without problems of fluidity, on the other hand the\nRAM\noffers better data than other models. The performance of these components is noticeable in the speed at which apps start or in the switching between different sections of the device.\nStorage\n: Total 3GB  – Free 8GB \/ Expandable with a\nUSB external memory\n.\nRAM\n: Total 2GB – Free 1GB \/ DDR.\nPorts\n: micro USB 2.0 OTG.\nWe recommend reading our\nTutorial SAMBA on Android networks\nif we are going to use files from our network PC.\nPower and performance\nAt the core of the\nXiaomi TV Stick 4K\nis the\nAmlogic S905Y4\nQuad Core chip with ARM Cortex-A35 processors and in the graphics section a\nMali-G31 MP2\nGPU which is in the mid-range. This SoC is very similar to its brother S905W2 which is somewhat inferior to the S905X3 or the recent S905X4, but nothing very remarkable. As it is possible to appreciate in the results we only have a small improvement in the single-core performance, it is well positioned matching Fire TV-Stick 4K and somewhat below the Googlecast TV. Undoubtedly this far exceeds the Xiaomi Mi TV-Stick 1080p.\nCPU performance\n: Min 0.5 GHz \/ Working  1.2 GHz \/ Max 2 GHz\nCheck our\nAmlogic S905Y4 SoC Comparison against all SoCs\nin the sector for more details.\nIn the\ngames\nsection we can run\nPUBG\nin medium\/low quality and also cloud gaming services like\nNVIDIA GForce Now\nor using the APK to install it. In the emulators section we can get at most run some Wii titles, but we will not have problems with 2D games of classic consoles with\nemulators\nlike\nRetroarch\nor using\nKODI\n, the full OS\nEmuELEC\nis not compatible.\nGames and emulators\n: Is possible to play titles such as\nPUBG\n\/  YES Vulkan support \/ Basic emulators in\nRetroArch\nor\nKODI\n.\nControls\n: Compatible with\nBluetooth or USB Gamepads\n.\nThis SoC is manufactured in\n12nm\n, has a fairly low power consumption and the cooling system maintains\nvery low temperatures\nin normal use.

We have good performance with 10bit color formats with\nHDR\nsupport and also with\nDolby Vision\n. In the settings we can disable the HDR effect outside of the supported content.\nIn terms of audio we can play\nDD and DTS sound up to 7.1\nthrough its HDMI port with support for\nDolby Atmos\nand\nDTS HR\ncodecs. The Chromecast system works perfectly with all compatible services including apps like\nNetflix\n.

This is a small device that thanks to the\nSoC S905Y4\nallows us to move any app, powerful games, emulators up to 16\/32bit,\nIPTV\napps or make use of\nKODI\nwhere we can play\n4K HDR\nvideo without problems. It is also compatible with all streaming apps in high quality, plays\nNetflix 4K\nwith\nDolby Vision\nand\nDolby Atmos\nsystem without problems.\nIn the connectivity section the\nXiaomi TV Stick 4K\nhas a\nWifi aC + BT 5.0\nadapter with pretty good speeds, but if we want to connect it via Ethernet we need a micro USB OTG cable. This Stick as we have found does not heat up in continuous use. It includes the\nAndroid TV 11 Certified\nsystem, which in general is very stable and moves very smoothly, also has\nChromecast\nand is controlled with a\nBluetooth remote\nwith integrated microphone.\nUndoubtedly the new\nXiaomi TV Stick 4K\nis a TV-Stick with\nAndroid TV 11 very efficient and compact design\n. A small player that allows us to play all paid streaming services and move through the system smoothly.\nWhere to buy\nXiaomi TV Stick 4K\ncan be purchased at\nAmazon\nor\nAliExpress \nonly for\n$64\n with shipping cost included","attrs_markdown":"[Skip to content](https:\/\/androidpctv.com\/xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review\/#content \"Skip to content\")\n\n[![AndroidPCtv](https:\/\/androidpctv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/apctv_logo_v2_60px.webp)](https:\/\/androidpctv.com\/ \"AndroidPCtv\")\n\nMenu\n\n- [NEWS](https:\/\/androidpctv.com\/category\/news\/)\n  -

In the network section it has a **Wifi ac + Bluetooth 5.0** wireless adapter that as we can see in the tests the results are good. It is possible to use a Gigabit Ethernet adapter using the **micro USB OTG 2.0** port but the speed is limited to the speed of this connector, about **220 Mbps**.\n\n- **Network**: Internal Wifi antenna \/ Range -41 dBm \/ Link 5G 280 Mbps \/ Ethernet USB 2.0 \/ Bluetooth OK.\n\n![Xiaomi tv stick 4k review s002](https:\/\/androidpctv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-s002.jpg)We found that the **performance of the internal storage is very good** and moves the system without problems of fluidity, on the other hand the **RAM** offers better data than other models.

This SoC is very similar to its brother S905W2 which is somewhat inferior to the S905X3 or the recent S905X4, but nothing very remarkable. As it is possible to appreciate in the results we only have a small improvement in the single-core performance, it is well positioned matching Fire TV-Stick 4K and somewhat below the Googlecast TV. Undoubtedly this far exceeds the Xiaomi Mi TV-Stick 1080p.\n\n- **CPU performance**: Min 0.5 GHz \/ Working 1.2 GHz \/ Max 2 GHz\n- Check our [Amlogic S905Y4 SoC Comparison against all SoCs](https:\/\/androidpctv.com\/amlogic-s905y4-comparative\/) in the sector for more details.\n\n![Xiaomi TV Stick 4K test eng 06 GeekBench](https:\/\/androidpctv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Xiaomi-TV-Stick-4K-test-eng-06-GeekBench.jpg)\n\n[![Xiaomi TV Stick 4K test eng 05 PCMark](https:\/\/androidpctv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Xiaomi-TV-Stick-4K-test-eng-05-PCMark.jpg)](https:\/\/androidpctv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Xiaomi-TV-Stick-4K-test-eng-05-PCMark.jpg \"Xiaomi TV Stick 4K test eng 05 PCMark\")\n\n[![Xiaomi TV Stick 4K test eng 04 3DMark](https:\/\/androidpctv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Xiaomi-TV-Stick-4K-test-eng-04-3DMark.jpg)](https:\/\/androidpctv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Xiaomi-TV-Stick-4K-test-eng-04-3DMark.jpg \"Xiaomi TV Stick 4K test eng 04 3DMark\")\n\nIn the **games** section we can run [PUBG](https:\/\/androidpctv.com\/pubg-mobile-android-compatibles-tvbox-play-gamepad-keyboard-mouse\/) in medium\/low quality and also cloud gaming services like [NVIDIA GForce Now](https:\/\/androidpctv.com\/nvidia-geforce-now-android-tv-box\/) or using the APK to install it.

This is a small device that thanks to the **SoC S905Y4** allows us to move any app, powerful games, emulators up to 16\/32bit, **IPTV** apps or make use of **KODI** where we can play **4K HDR** video without problems. It is also compatible with all streaming apps in high quality, plays **Netflix 4K** with **Dolby Vision** and **Dolby Atmos** system without problems.\n\nIn the connectivity section the **Xiaomi TV Stick 4K** has a **Wifi aC + BT 5.0** adapter with pretty good speeds, but if we want to connect it via Ethernet we need a micro USB OTG cable. This Stick as we have found does not heat up in continuous use. It includes the **Android TV 11 Certified** system, which in general is very stable and moves very smoothly, also has **Chromecast** and is controlled with a **Bluetooth remote** with integrated microphone.\n\nUndoubtedly the new **Xiaomi TV Stick 4K** is a TV-Stick with **Android TV 11 very efficient and compact design**.

The **cooling system works very well** because it does not lose any performance. We do not have a reset button, updates can only be done through Xiaomi’s online OTA system.\n\n- **Remote Control**: Basic **BT Remote** with mic \/ Compatible with keyboard and mouse \/ App control for [Android TV](https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.google.android.tv.remote).\n\n![Xiaomi tv stick 4k review f004](https:\/\/androidpctv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-f004.jpg)\n\n[![Xiaomi tv stick 4k review f001](https:\/\/androidpctv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-f001-945x532.jpg)](https:\/\/androidpctv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-f001.jpg \"Xiaomi tv stick 4k review f001\")\n\n[![Xiaomi tv stick 4k review f011](https:\/\/androidpctv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-f011-945x532.jpg)](https:\/\/androidpctv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-f011.jpg \"Xiaomi tv stick 4k review f011\")\n\nWe have a [**micro USB 2.0 OTG**](https:\/\/amzn.to\/3niJkno) port that allows us to connect a [**USB + Ethernet HUB**](https:\/\/amzn.to\/3p8AYkO) with power connector, this allows us to connect peripherals and **expand the internal storage** with a USB memory. The speed of this port allows us to reach up to about **220 MB\/s** and the Android TV system detects perfectly this connector in the settings.\n\n- **USB port**: It allows us to connect a [USB 3.0 HUB](https:\/\/amzn.to\/3p8AYkO) + [microUSB OTG](https:\/\/amzn.to\/3niJkno) cable, for peripherals or to add Ethernet.\n\n![Xiaomi tv stick 4k review f003](https:\/\/androidpctv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-f003.jpg)\n\n## System and Performance\n### Environment and Android system\nOnce we have started the **Mi TV Stick 4K** we find the configuration wizard. It is possible to adjust the Wi-Fi, define which apps will be installed by default and select the type of content we want to see on the main screen. Once the configuration is finished, we arrive at the **Android TV** launcher designed to be controlled by remote control. When we update the apps the home launcher will change to **Google TV** with a more modern design. The **overall performance is good**, we can move smoothly and quickly between menus and different apps.\n\n- **Launcher**: We can [change de the launcher](https:\/\/androidpctv.com\/change-launcher-android-tv\/) \/ Android UI rendering at 1080p.\n- **Multitasking and access**: Multitasking NOT available \/ Notifications the upper icon.\n- **Languages and Google Play**: All the international Android languajes \/ Google Play for Android TV installed.\n- Check our [**Android TV User Manual**](https:\/\/androidpctv.com\/tutorial-install-apk-androidtv-remote-control\/) to install classic Android Apps, prevent screen rotation and much more.\n\n![Xiaomi tv stick 4k review s017](https:\/\/androidpctv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-s017.jpg)\n\n[![Xiaomi tv stick 4k review s014](https:\/\/androidpctv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-s014-945x532.jpg)](https:\/\/androidpctv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-s014.jpg \"Xiaomi tv stick 4k review s014\")\n\n[![Xiaomi tv stick 4k review s016a](https:\/\/androidpctv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-s016a-945x532.jpg)](https:\/\/androidpctv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-s016a.jpg \"Xiaomi tv stick 4k review s016a\")\n\nAs a novelty we have the **PatchWalk** app which is a western version of the Launcher used by Xiaomi in China. A more colorful presentation of content that has little practical use.\n\n![Xiaomi tv stick 4k review s015](https:\/\/androidpctv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-s015.jpg)\n\n### System\nWe take a look at the system data and the options it includes, we also observe what boot options this device allows us.

In the network section it has a **Wifi ac + Bluetooth 5.0** wireless adapter that as we can see in the tests the results are good. It is possible to use a Gigabit Ethernet adapter using the **micro USB OTG 2.0** port but the speed is limited to the speed of this connector, about **220 Mbps**.\n\n- **Network**: Internal Wifi antenna \/ Range -41 dBm \/ Link 5G 280 Mbps \/ Ethernet USB 2.0 \/ Bluetooth OK.\n\n![Xiaomi tv stick 4k review s002](https:\/\/androidpctv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-s002.jpg)We found that the **performance of the internal storage is very good** and moves the system without problems of fluidity, on the other hand the **RAM** offers better data than other models. The performance of these components is noticeable in the speed at which apps start or in the switching between different sections of the device.\n\n- **Storage**: Total 3GB – Free 8GB \/ Expandable with a [USB external memory](https:\/\/androidpctv.com\/xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review\/#CONCLUSIONS_AND_BUY_LINKS).\n- **RAM**: Total 2GB – Free 1GB \/ DDR.\n- **Ports**: micro USB 2.0 OTG.\n- We recommend reading our [Tutorial SAMBA on Android networks](https:\/\/androidpctv.com\/tutorial-samba-on-android-connection-with-windows-and-alternatives\/) if we are going to use files from our network PC.\n\n![Xiaomi tv stick 4k review s006](https:\/\/androidpctv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-s006.jpg)\n\n### Power and performance\nAt the core of the **Xiaomi TV Stick 4K** is the **Amlogic S905Y4** Quad Core chip with ARM Cortex-A35 processors and in the graphics section a **Mali-G31 MP2** GPU which is in the mid-range. This SoC is very similar to its brother S905W2 which is somewhat inferior to the S905X3 or the recent S905X4, but nothing very remarkable. As it is possible to appreciate in the results we only have a small improvement in the single-core performance, it is well positioned matching Fire TV-Stick 4K and somewhat below the Googlecast TV. Undoubtedly this far exceeds the Xiaomi Mi TV-Stick 1080p.\n\n- **CPU performance**: Min 0.5 GHz \/ Working 1.2 GHz \/ Max 2 GHz\n- Check our [Amlogic S905Y4 SoC Comparison against all SoCs](https:\/\/androidpctv.com\/amlogic-s905y4-comparative\/) in the sector for more details.\n\n![Xiaomi TV Stick 4K test eng 06 GeekBench](https:\/\/androidpctv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Xiaomi-TV-Stick-4K-test-eng-06-GeekBench.jpg)\n\n[![Xiaomi TV Stick 4K test eng 05 PCMark](https:\/\/androidpctv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Xiaomi-TV-Stick-4K-test-eng-05-PCMark.jpg)](https:\/\/androidpctv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Xiaomi-TV-Stick-4K-test-eng-05-PCMark.jpg \"Xiaomi TV Stick 4K test eng 05 PCMark\")\n\n[![Xiaomi TV Stick 4K test eng 04 3DMark](https:\/\/androidpctv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Xiaomi-TV-Stick-4K-test-eng-04-3DMark.jpg)](https:\/\/androidpctv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Xiaomi-TV-Stick-4K-test-eng-04-3DMark.jpg \"Xiaomi TV Stick 4K test eng 04 3DMark\")\n\nIn the **games** section we can run [PUBG](https:\/\/androidpctv.com\/pubg-mobile-android-compatibles-tvbox-play-gamepad-keyboard-mouse\/) in medium\/low quality and also cloud gaming services like [NVIDIA GForce Now](https:\/\/androidpctv.com\/nvidia-geforce-now-android-tv-box\/) or using the APK to install it. In the emulators section we can get at most run some Wii titles, but we will not have problems with 2D games of classic consoles with **emulators** like [Retroarch](https:\/\/androidpctv.com\/tutorial-retroarch-emulator-android-tvbox-smartphone-pc\/) or using [KODI](https:\/\/androidpctv.com\/tutorial-kodi-emulator-download-rom\/), the full OS [EmuELEC](https:\/\/androidpctv.com\/tutorial-emuelec-turns-your-android-tv-box-into-a-retro-console\/) is not compatible.\n\n- **Games and emulators**: Is possible to play titles such as [PUBG](https:\/\/androidpctv.com\/pubg-mobile-android-compatibles-tvbox-play-gamepad-keyboard-mouse\/) \/ YES Vulkan support \/ Basic emulators in [RetroArch](https:\/\/androidpctv.com\/tutorial-retroarch-emulator-android-tvbox-smartphone-pc\/) or [KODI](https:\/\/androidpctv.com\/tutorial-kodi-emulator-download-rom\/).\n- **Controls**: Compatible with [Bluetooth or USB Gamepads](https:\/\/amzn.to\/37ezHiU).\n\n![android games s014](https:\/\/androidpctv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/android-games-s014.jpg)\n\nThis SoC is manufactured in **12nm**, has a fairly low power consumption and the cooling system maintains **very low temperatures** in normal use.

We have good performance with 10bit color formats with **HDR** support and also with **Dolby Vision**.

Meta Canonical	null
Boilerpipe Text	Xiaomi Mi TV Stick 4K is the new Android TV Stick that we present today its analysis or review. A small device that offers Android TV OS with all the certificates to playback at the highest quality the streaming platforms. The Android TV Mi TV Stick 4K has the recent SoC Amlogic S905Y4 very similar to the S905W2 that we have seen in other devices in TV-Stick format. We have the Android TV 11 Certified system, by default it comes with a Bluetooth remote control and integrates a microphone for the Google Assistant with which we can control this device. It also offers us Chromecast and the necessary certificates for Netflix 4K HDR and similar services, it also supports Dolby Vision and Atmos . Let’s check in our review how this new Xiaomi TV Stick 4K behaves and what it offers us with respect to its rivals in the same sector. Xiaomi TV Stick 4K can be purchased at Amazon or AliExpress only for $64 with shipping cost included. Table of Contents Product details for Xiaomi TV Stick 4K Xiaomi TV Stick 4K (MDZ-27-AA) SoC: Amlogic S905Y4 Quad Core 4x ARM-A35 @ 2GHz (64bit) / GPU Mali-G31 MP2 / 12nm. System: Android TV 11 (32bit). Memory and network: 2GB RAM LPDDR4 / 8GB eMMC / Wifi ac + Bluetooth 5.0. Ports: HDMI 2.1 / 1x micro USB 2.0 OTG. Extras: BT Remote / Manual / HDMI Cable / Adapter DC 5V 1A (5W). Materials and dimensions: Plastic / Status LEDs / 107 x 30 x 15 mm / 43 gr. Unboxing The new Xiaomi TV Stick 4K comes in a classic cardboard box with the product image in the upper area. Inside we find the small TV-Stick, remote control, HDMI cable, 5V 1A charger and a first steps manual. Description The Xiaomi TV Stick 4K offers a classic design in the line of the previous Stick of the brand. As connectors we only have the micro USB OTG port and the front HDMI 2.1 male. We also have Bluetooth remote control that has a microphone for Google Assistant, at the top we have two status LEDs. We are surprised by the inclusion of a dedicated key for PatchWalk the Xiaomi launcher, we can change the use of some keys remapping them for other functions . This small TV-Stick has a Wifi aC + Bluetooth 5.0 chip and has an internal wifi antenna. The cooling system works very well because it does not lose any performance. We do not have a reset button, updates can only be done through Xiaomi’s online OTA system. Remote Control : Basic BT Remote with mic / Compatible with keyboard and mouse / App control for Android TV . We have a micro USB 2.0 OTG port that allows us to connect a USB + Ethernet HUB with power connector, this allows us to connect peripherals and expand the internal storage with a USB memory. The speed of this port allows us to reach up to about 220 MB/s and the Android TV system detects perfectly this connector in the settings. USB port : It allows us to connect a USB 3.0 HUB + microUSB OTG cable, for peripherals or to add Ethernet. System and Performance Environment and Android system Once we have started the Mi TV Stick 4K we find the configuration wizard. It is possible to adjust the Wi-Fi, define which apps will be installed by default and select the type of content we want to see on the main screen. Once the configuration is finished, we arrive at the Android TV launcher designed to be controlled by remote control. When we update the apps the home launcher will change to Google TV with a more modern design. The overall performance is good , we can move smoothly and quickly between menus and different apps. Launcher : We can change de the launcher / Android UI rendering at 1080p. Multitasking and access : Multitasking NOT available / Notifications the upper icon. Languages and Google Play : All the international Android languajes / Google Play for Android TV installed. Check our Android TV User Manual to install classic Android Apps, prevent screen rotation and much more. As a novelty we have the PatchWalk app which is a western version of the Launcher used by Xiaomi in China. A more colorful presentation of content that has little practical use. System We take a look at the system data and the options it includes, we also observe what boot options this device allows us. This TV-Box will have updates via OTA to correct possible failures, security updates and bug fixes. On/Off Controls : Sleep mode / Shutdown settings available. System version and root : Android TV 11 (32 bit) / NO rooted / NO root menu / CPU r0p1 (S905Y4) / Model MiTV-AYFR0. Support : Xiaomi OTA support / IMG firmware NOT available, only OTA update. Network, storage, RAM and ports The Xiaomi Mi TV Stick 4K has 2 GB of RAM DDR4 memory and for storage we have options with 8 GB eMMC that we can expand with a USB memory. In the network section it has a Wifi ac + Bluetooth 5.0 wireless adapter that as we can see in the tests the results are good. It is possible to use a Gigabit Ethernet adapter using the micro USB OTG 2.0 port but the speed is limited to the speed of this connector, about 220 Mbps . Network : Internal Wifi antenna / Range -41 dBm / Link 5G 280 Mbps / Ethernet USB 2.0 / Bluetooth OK. We found that the performance of the internal storage is very good and moves the system without problems of fluidity, on the other hand the RAM offers better data than other models. The performance of these components is noticeable in the speed at which apps start or in the switching between different sections of the device. Storage : Total 3GB – Free 8GB / Expandable with a USB external memory . RAM : Total 2GB – Free 1GB / DDR. Ports : micro USB 2.0 OTG. We recommend reading our Tutorial SAMBA on Android networks if we are going to use files from our network PC. Power and performance At the core of the Xiaomi TV Stick 4K is the Amlogic S905Y4 Quad Core chip with ARM Cortex-A35 processors and in the graphics section a Mali-G31 MP2 GPU which is in the mid-range. This SoC is very similar to its brother S905W2 which is somewhat inferior to the S905X3 or the recent S905X4, but nothing very remarkable. As it is possible to appreciate in the results we only have a small improvement in the single-core performance, it is well positioned matching Fire TV-Stick 4K and somewhat below the Googlecast TV. Undoubtedly this far exceeds the Xiaomi Mi TV-Stick 1080p. CPU performance : Min 0.5 GHz / Working 1.2 GHz / Max 2 GHz Check our Amlogic S905Y4 SoC Comparison against all SoCs in the sector for more details. In the games section we can run PUBG in medium/low quality and also cloud gaming services like NVIDIA GForce Now or using the APK to install it. In the emulators section we can get at most run some Wii titles, but we will not have problems with 2D games of classic consoles with emulators like Retroarch or using KODI , the full OS EmuELEC is not compatible. Games and emulators : Is possible to play titles such as PUBG / YES Vulkan support / Basic emulators in RetroArch or KODI . Controls : Compatible with Bluetooth or USB Gamepads . This SoC is manufactured in 12nm , has a fairly low power consumption and the cooling system maintains very low temperatures in normal use.

We are surprised by the inclusion of a dedicated key for PatchWalk the Xiaomi launcher, we can change the use of some keys [remapping them for other functions](https://androidpctv.com/tutorial-install-apk-androidtv-remote-control/#CHANGE_REMOTE_CONTROL_KEYS). ![Xiaomi tv stick 4k review f013](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-f013.jpg) [![Xiaomi tv stick 4k review f010](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-f010-945x532.jpg)](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-f010.jpg "Xiaomi tv stick 4k review f010") [![Xiaomi tv stick 4k review f009](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-f009-945x532.jpg)](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-f009.jpg "Xiaomi tv stick 4k review f009") This small TV-Stick has a Wifi aC + Bluetooth 5.0 chip and has an internal wifi antenna. The cooling system works very well because it does not lose any performance. We do not have a reset button, updates can only be done through Xiaomi’s online OTA system. - Remote Control: Basic BT Remote with mic / Compatible with keyboard and mouse / App control for [Android TV](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.tv.remote). ![Xiaomi tv stick 4k review f004](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-f004.jpg) [![Xiaomi tv stick 4k review f001](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-f001-945x532.jpg)](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-f001.jpg "Xiaomi tv stick 4k review f001") [![Xiaomi tv stick 4k review f011](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-f011-945x532.jpg)](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-f011.jpg "Xiaomi tv stick 4k review f011") We have a [micro USB 2.0 OTG](https://amzn.to/3niJkno) port that allows us to connect a [USB + Ethernet HUB](https://amzn.to/3p8AYkO) with power connector, this allows us to connect peripherals and expand the internal storage with a USB memory. The speed of this port allows us to reach up to about 220 MB/s and the Android TV system detects perfectly this connector in the settings. - USB port: It allows us to connect a [USB 3.0 HUB](https://amzn.to/3p8AYkO) + [microUSB OTG](https://amzn.to/3niJkno) cable, for peripherals or to add Ethernet. ![Xiaomi tv stick 4k review f003](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-f003.jpg) ## System and Performance ### Environment and Android system Once we have started the Mi TV Stick 4K we find the configuration wizard. It is possible to adjust the Wi-Fi, define which apps will be installed by default and select the type of content we want to see on the main screen. Once the configuration is finished, we arrive at the Android TV launcher designed to be controlled by remote control. When we update the apps the home launcher will change to Google TV with a more modern design. The overall performance is good, we can move smoothly and quickly between menus and different apps. - Launcher: We can [change de the launcher](https://androidpctv.com/change-launcher-android-tv/) / Android UI rendering at 1080p. - Multitasking and access: Multitasking NOT available / Notifications the upper icon. - Languages and Google Play: All the international Android languajes / Google Play for Android TV installed. - Check our [Android TV User Manual](https://androidpctv.com/tutorial-install-apk-androidtv-remote-control/) to install classic Android Apps, prevent screen rotation and much more. ![Xiaomi tv stick 4k review s017](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-s017.jpg) [![Xiaomi tv stick 4k review s014](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-s014-945x532.jpg)](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-s014.jpg "Xiaomi tv stick 4k review s014") [![Xiaomi tv stick 4k review s016a](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-s016a-945x532.jpg)](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-s016a.jpg "Xiaomi tv stick 4k review s016a") As a novelty we have the PatchWalk app which is a western version of the Launcher used by Xiaomi in China. A more colorful presentation of content that has little practical use. ![Xiaomi tv stick 4k review s015](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-s015.jpg) ### System We take a look at the system data and the options it includes, we also observe what boot options this device allows us. This TV-Box will have updates via OTA to correct possible failures, security updates and bug fixes. - On/Off Controls: Sleep mode / Shutdown settings available. - System version and root: Android TV 11 (32 bit) / NO rooted / NO root menu / CPU r0p1 (S905Y4) / Model MiTV-AYFR0. - Support: Xiaomi OTA support / IMG firmware NOT available, only OTA update. ![Xiaomi tv stick 4k review s013](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-s013.jpg) [![Xiaomi tv stick 4k review s012](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-s012-945x532.jpg)](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-s012.jpg "Xiaomi tv stick 4k review s012") [![Xiaomi tv stick 4k review s011](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-s011-945x532.jpg)](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-s011.jpg "Xiaomi tv stick 4k review s011") [![Xiaomi tv stick 4k review s009](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-s009-945x532.jpg)](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-s009.jpg "Xiaomi tv stick 4k review s009") [![Xiaomi tv stick 4k review s008](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-s008-945x532.jpg)](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-s008.jpg "Xiaomi tv stick 4k review s008") ### Network, storage, RAM and ports The Xiaomi Mi TV Stick 4K has 2 GB of RAM DDR4 memory and for storage we have options with 8 GB eMMC that we can expand with a USB memory. In the network section it has a Wifi ac + Bluetooth 5.0 wireless adapter that as we can see in the tests the results are good. It is possible to use a Gigabit Ethernet adapter using the micro USB OTG 2.0 port but the speed is limited to the speed of this connector, about 220 Mbps. - Network: Internal Wifi antenna / Range -41 dBm / Link 5G 280 Mbps / Ethernet USB 2.0 / Bluetooth OK. ![Xiaomi tv stick 4k review s002](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-s002.jpg)We found that the performance of the internal storage is very good and moves the system without problems of fluidity, on the other hand the RAM offers better data than other models. The performance of these components is noticeable in the speed at which apps start or in the switching between different sections of the device. - Storage: Total 3GB – Free 8GB / Expandable with a [USB external memory](https://androidpctv.com/xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review/#CONCLUSIONS_AND_BUY_LINKS). - RAM: Total 2GB – Free 1GB / DDR. - Ports: micro USB 2.0 OTG. - We recommend reading our [Tutorial SAMBA on Android networks](https://androidpctv.com/tutorial-samba-on-android-connection-with-windows-and-alternatives/) if we are going to use files from our network PC. ![Xiaomi tv stick 4k review s006](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-s006.jpg) ### Power and performance At the core of the Xiaomi TV Stick 4K is the Amlogic S905Y4 Quad Core chip with ARM Cortex-A35 processors and in the graphics section a Mali-G31 MP2 GPU which is in the mid-range. This SoC is very similar to its brother S905W2 which is somewhat inferior to the S905X3 or the recent S905X4, but nothing very remarkable. As it is possible to appreciate in the results we only have a small improvement in the single-core performance, it is well positioned matching Fire TV-Stick 4K and somewhat below the Googlecast TV. Undoubtedly this far exceeds the Xiaomi Mi TV-Stick 1080p. - CPU performance: Min 0.5 GHz / Working 1.2 GHz / Max 2 GHz - Check our [Amlogic S905Y4 SoC Comparison against all SoCs](https://androidpctv.com/amlogic-s905y4-comparative/) in the sector for more details. ![Xiaomi TV Stick 4K test eng 06 GeekBench](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-TV-Stick-4K-test-eng-06-GeekBench.jpg) [![Xiaomi TV Stick 4K test eng 05 PCMark](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-TV-Stick-4K-test-eng-05-PCMark.jpg)](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-TV-Stick-4K-test-eng-05-PCMark.jpg "Xiaomi TV Stick 4K test eng 05 PCMark") [![Xiaomi TV Stick 4K test eng 04 3DMark](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-TV-Stick-4K-test-eng-04-3DMark.jpg)](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-TV-Stick-4K-test-eng-04-3DMark.jpg "Xiaomi TV Stick 4K test eng 04 3DMark") In the games section we can run [PUBG](https://androidpctv.com/pubg-mobile-android-compatibles-tvbox-play-gamepad-keyboard-mouse/) in medium/low quality and also cloud gaming services like [NVIDIA GForce Now](https://androidpctv.com/nvidia-geforce-now-android-tv-box/) or using the APK to install it. In the emulators section we can get at most run some Wii titles, but we will not have problems with 2D games of classic consoles with emulators like [Retroarch](https://androidpctv.com/tutorial-retroarch-emulator-android-tvbox-smartphone-pc/) or using [KODI](https://androidpctv.com/tutorial-kodi-emulator-download-rom/), the full OS [EmuELEC](https://androidpctv.com/tutorial-emuelec-turns-your-android-tv-box-into-a-retro-console/) is not compatible. - Games and emulators: Is possible to play titles such as [PUBG](https://androidpctv.com/pubg-mobile-android-compatibles-tvbox-play-gamepad-keyboard-mouse/) / YES Vulkan support / Basic emulators in [RetroArch](https://androidpctv.com/tutorial-retroarch-emulator-android-tvbox-smartphone-pc/) or [KODI](https://androidpctv.com/tutorial-kodi-emulator-download-rom/). - Controls: Compatible with [Bluetooth or USB Gamepads](https://amzn.to/37ezHiU). ![android games s014](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/android-games-s014.jpg) This SoC is manufactured in 12nm, has a fairly low power consumption and the cooling system maintains very low temperatures in normal use. The processor manages the speeds correctly so as not to heat up excessively. - Thermals: Min. 40ºC / Working 42 ºC / Max. 63ºC / Maintains performance up to 100% / Heat zone on the top / Noise 0db - Consumption: Off 0.9W / Min 3W / Working 3.2W / Max. 4.5W [![Xiaomi tv stick 4k review s003](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-s003.jpg)](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-s003.jpg "Xiaomi tv stick 4k review s003") [![Xiaomi tv stick 4k review s018](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-s018.jpg)](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-s018.jpg "Xiaomi tv stick 4k review s018") ## Video and Audio test ### Video playback test In the video playback section the Xiaomi TV Stick 4K is compatible with most modern formats such as h.265, VP9 with native 4K@60fps HDR resolution support and is compatible with the recent [AV1 codec](https://androidpctv.com/tutorial-playback-video-av1-codec-android-windows/) but only with streaming apps like YouTube or with the internal media player. We have good performance with 10bit color formats with HDR support and also with Dolby Vision. In the settings we can disable the HDR effect outside of the supported content. In terms of audio we can play DD and DTS sound up to 7.1 through its HDMI port with support for Dolby Atmos and DTS HR codecs. The Chromecast system works perfectly with all compatible services including apps like Netflix. It is possible to use players such as KODI or PLEX without the slightest problem by installing them directly from the Android TV store. - Video Settings: NO image quality settings / HDMI-CEC available, [see manual](https://androidpctv.com/tutorial-remote-android-tvbox-minipc-hdmi-cec/) / Automatic refresh rate not available. - Audio Settings: HDMI 7.1 / NO USB audio settings. - Color and HDR: 10Bit / RGB / HDR 10+ / Dolby Vision / Enables HDR to be disabled. - Media sharing: GoogleCast YES / Miracast NO / DLNA with [BlubblePnP](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bubblesoft.android.bubbleupnp) / Airplay NO. - LibreELEC: This model is NOT compatible with [LibreELEC or CoreELEC](https://androidpctv.com/tutorial-libreelec-install-guide-tv-box-android/). - Tutorials: [Install add-on in KODI](https://androidpctv.com/tutorial-how-to-install-an-add-on-in-kodi-in-a-simple-way/) / [Judder effect, how to fix it](https://androidpctv.com/tutorial-judder-in-video-playback-what-is-and-how-to-fix-it-in-android-or-windows/) / [Multi-channel audio guide](https://androidpctv.com/multichannel-audio-windows-android/) / [Fix dark video playback](https://androidpctv.com/how-to-improve-dark-scenes-in-video-playback-on-a-android-tv-box/). - We recommend reading the [Setup Guide of our TV](https://androidpctv.com/tutorial-picture-quality-android-tvbox-mini-pc/) to get the best picture quality. ![video sample test n09 min](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/video-sample-test-n09-min.jpg) [![Xiaomi tv stick 4k review s004](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-s004.jpg)](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-s004.jpg "Xiaomi tv stick 4k review s004") [![Xiaomi tv stick 4k review s005](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-s005.jpg)](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-s005.jpg "Xiaomi tv stick 4k review s005") #### Video and audio results \| \| \| \|---\|---\| \| Formats \| Result \| \| h.264 / 1080i / 8bit \| OK \| \| h.264 / 1080p / 4K / 8bit \| OK \| \| h.264 / 1080p / 10bit (anime) \| Frameskip (SW) \| \| h.265 / 1080p / 8bit \| OK \| \| h.265 / 1080p / 10bit (anime) \| OK \| \| h.265 / 4K@24fps / 8bit \| OK \| \| h.265 / 4K@60fps / 10bit HDR \| OK \| \| VP9 P1 / 4K@24fps / 8bit \| OK \| \| VP9 P2 / 4K@60fps / 10bit HDR \| OK \| \| VP9 P2 / 8K@60fps / 10bit HDR \| OK \| \| AV1 / 4K@24fps / 10bit \| Only in streaming apps such as Youtube and internal player. \| \| Max.

The Xiaomi TV Stick 4K offers maximum compatibility with all current streaming services. As we have checked Netflix allows us to watch 4K content with Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos certificates. We also have Disney+ without sound problems and Amazon Prime video or HBO Max in good quality installable from Google Play if we look for it. - DRM: Google Widevine L1 / Playready. - Audio/Video certification: DTS HD – Dolby Atmos / Dolby Vision. - Tutorials: [Change the size of the captions and the mouse pointer on Android](https://androidpctv.com/change-size-captions-mouse-pointer-android/) / [Install Addons in KODI in a simple way](https://androidpctv.com/tutorial-how-to-install-an-add-on-in-kodi-in-a-simple-way/) \| \| \| \|---\|---\| \| Streaming service \| Calidad / Audio \| \| *Youtube* \| 4K (2160p) / 5.1 \| \| *Google Play Movies* \| 4K (2160p) / 5.1 \| \| *Netflix* \| 4K (2160p) / 7.1 / [Netflix Guide](https://androidpctv.com/netflix-hd-4k-android/) \| \| *HBO Max* \| 4K (2160p) / 5.1 / [HBO Max Guide](https://androidpctv.com/guide-hbo-max-4k-android-pc-ios/) \| \| *Disney+* \| 4K (2160p) / 7.1 / [Disney+ Guide](https://androidpctv.com/disney-incompatible-android-tvbox-tablet-smartphone-fix/) \| \| *Apple TV+* \| 4K (2160p) / 7.1 / [Apple TV+ Guide](https://androidpctv.com/apple-tv-plus-tutorial-guide-android/) \| \| *Prime Video* \| 4K (2160p) / 7.1 / [Prime Video Guide](https://androidpctv.com/user-guide-to-watch-amazon-prime-video-in-hd-and-4k-quality/) \| \| *DAZN* \| HD (720p) / Stereo \| \| *IPTV* \| FullHD (1080i) / Stereo \| ![video youtube av1 s005](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/video-youtube-av1-s005.jpg) [![Mecool KM7 review sh002](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Mecool-KM7-review-sh002-945x532.jpg)](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Mecool-KM7-review-sh002.jpg "Mecool KM7 review sh002") [![HBO Max](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/HBO-Max-video-eng-03-945x532.jpg)](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/HBO-Max-video-eng-03.jpg "HBO Max video eng 03") ## Conclusions and buy links for Xiaomi TV Stick 4K ### Score ### Opinion After testing the Xiaomi TV Stick 4K we can say that we are facing an Android TV Stick that offers very good results. This is a small device that thanks to the SoC S905Y4 allows us to move any app, powerful games, emulators up to 16/32bit, IPTV apps or make use of KODI where we can play 4K HDR video without problems. It is also compatible with all streaming apps in high quality, plays Netflix 4K with Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos system without problems. In the connectivity section the Xiaomi TV Stick 4K has a Wifi aC + BT 5.0 adapter with pretty good speeds, but if we want to connect it via Ethernet we need a micro USB OTG cable. This Stick as we have found does not heat up in continuous use. It includes the Android TV 11 Certified system, which in general is very stable and moves very smoothly, also has Chromecast and is controlled with a Bluetooth remote with integrated microphone. Undoubtedly the new Xiaomi TV Stick 4K is a TV-Stick with Android TV 11 very efficient and compact design. A small player that allows us to play all paid streaming services and move through the system smoothly. ### Where to buy \| \| \|---\| \| Xiaomi TV Stick 4K can be purchased at [Amazon](https://amzn.to/3CVpV5K) or [AliExpress](https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DBTYflZ) only for [\$64](https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DBTYflZ) with shipping cost included \| [![Xiaomi Mi TV Stick 4K review](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-f007.jpg)](https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_AY4oAB) Subscribe [LOGIN / REGISTER](https://androidpctv.com/login-user) 37 Comments Inline Feedbacks View all comments Load More Comments [![QIDI MAX4](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/320x250-English.png)](https://qidi3d.com/products/max4) ## Recent Posts -

As connectors we only have the micro USB OTG port and the front HDMI 2.1 male. We also have Bluetooth remote control that has a microphone for Google Assistant, at the top we have two status LEDs. We are surprised by the inclusion of a dedicated key for PatchWalk the Xiaomi launcher, we can change the use of some keys [remapping them for other functions](https://androidpctv.com/tutorial-install-apk-androidtv-remote-control/#CHANGE_REMOTE_CONTROL_KEYS). ![Xiaomi tv stick 4k review f013](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-f013.jpg) [![Xiaomi tv stick 4k review f010](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-f010-945x532.jpg)](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-f010.jpg "Xiaomi tv stick 4k review f010") [![Xiaomi tv stick 4k review f009](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-f009-945x532.jpg)](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-f009.jpg "Xiaomi tv stick 4k review f009") This small TV-Stick has a Wifi aC + Bluetooth 5.0 chip and has an internal wifi antenna. The cooling system works very well because it does not lose any performance. We do not have a reset button, updates can only be done through Xiaomi’s online OTA system. - Remote Control: Basic BT Remote with mic / Compatible with keyboard and mouse / App control for [Android TV](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.tv.remote). ![Xiaomi tv stick 4k review f004](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-f004.jpg) [![Xiaomi tv stick 4k review f001](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-f001-945x532.jpg)](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-f001.jpg "Xiaomi tv stick 4k review f001") [![Xiaomi tv stick 4k review f011](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-f011-945x532.jpg)](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-f011.jpg "Xiaomi tv stick 4k review f011") We have a [micro USB 2.0 OTG](https://amzn.to/3niJkno) port that allows us to connect a [USB + Ethernet HUB](https://amzn.to/3p8AYkO) with power connector, this allows us to connect peripherals and expand the internal storage with a USB memory. The speed of this port allows us to reach up to about 220 MB/s and the Android TV system detects perfectly this connector in the settings. - USB port: It allows us to connect a [USB 3.0 HUB](https://amzn.to/3p8AYkO) + [microUSB OTG](https://amzn.to/3niJkno) cable, for peripherals or to add Ethernet. ![Xiaomi tv stick 4k review f003](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-f003.jpg) ## System and Performance ### Environment and Android system Once we have started the Mi TV Stick 4K we find the configuration wizard. It is possible to adjust the Wi-Fi, define which apps will be installed by default and select the type of content we want to see on the main screen. Once the configuration is finished, we arrive at the Android TV launcher designed to be controlled by remote control. When we update the apps the home launcher will change to Google TV with a more modern design. The overall performance is good, we can move smoothly and quickly between menus and different apps. - Launcher: We can [change de the launcher](https://androidpctv.com/change-launcher-android-tv/) / Android UI rendering at 1080p. - Multitasking and access: Multitasking NOT available / Notifications the upper icon. - Languages and Google Play: All the international Android languajes / Google Play for Android TV installed. - Check our [Android TV User Manual](https://androidpctv.com/tutorial-install-apk-androidtv-remote-control/) to install classic Android Apps, prevent screen rotation and much more. ![Xiaomi tv stick 4k review s017](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-s017.jpg) [![Xiaomi tv stick 4k review s014](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-s014-945x532.jpg)](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-s014.jpg "Xiaomi tv stick 4k review s014") [![Xiaomi tv stick 4k review s016a](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-s016a-945x532.jpg)](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-s016a.jpg "Xiaomi tv stick 4k review s016a") As a novelty we have the PatchWalk app which is a western version of the Launcher used by Xiaomi in China. A more colorful presentation of content that has little practical use. ![Xiaomi tv stick 4k review s015](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-s015.jpg) ### System We take a look at the system data and the options it includes, we also observe what boot options this device allows us. This TV-Box will have updates via OTA to correct possible failures, security updates and bug fixes. - On/Off Controls: Sleep mode / Shutdown settings available. - System version and root: Android TV 11 (32 bit) / NO rooted / NO root menu / CPU r0p1 (S905Y4) / Model MiTV-AYFR0. - Support: Xiaomi OTA support / IMG firmware NOT available, only OTA update. ![Xiaomi tv stick 4k review s013](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-s013.jpg) [![Xiaomi tv stick 4k review s012](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-s012-945x532.jpg)](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-s012.jpg "Xiaomi tv stick 4k review s012") [![Xiaomi tv stick 4k review s011](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-s011-945x532.jpg)](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-s011.jpg "Xiaomi tv stick 4k review s011") [![Xiaomi tv stick 4k review s009](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-s009-945x532.jpg)](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-s009.jpg "Xiaomi tv stick 4k review s009") [![Xiaomi tv stick 4k review s008](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-s008-945x532.jpg)](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-s008.jpg "Xiaomi tv stick 4k review s008") ### Network, storage, RAM and ports The Xiaomi Mi TV Stick 4K has 2 GB of RAM DDR4 memory and for storage we have options with 8 GB eMMC that we can expand with a USB memory. In the network section it has a Wifi ac + Bluetooth 5.0 wireless adapter that as we can see in the tests the results are good. It is possible to use a Gigabit Ethernet adapter using the micro USB OTG 2.0 port but the speed is limited to the speed of this connector, about 220 Mbps. - Network: Internal Wifi antenna / Range -41 dBm / Link 5G 280 Mbps / Ethernet USB 2.0 / Bluetooth OK. ![Xiaomi tv stick 4k review s002](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-s002.jpg)We found that the performance of the internal storage is very good and moves the system without problems of fluidity, on the other hand the RAM offers better data than other models. The performance of these components is noticeable in the speed at which apps start or in the switching between different sections of the device. - Storage: Total 3GB – Free 8GB / Expandable with a [USB external memory](https://androidpctv.com/xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review/#CONCLUSIONS_AND_BUY_LINKS). - RAM: Total 2GB – Free 1GB / DDR. - Ports: micro USB 2.0 OTG. - We recommend reading our [Tutorial SAMBA on Android networks](https://androidpctv.com/tutorial-samba-on-android-connection-with-windows-and-alternatives/) if we are going to use files from our network PC. ![Xiaomi tv stick 4k review s006](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-s006.jpg) ### Power and performance At the core of the Xiaomi TV Stick 4K is the Amlogic S905Y4 Quad Core chip with ARM Cortex-A35 processors and in the graphics section a Mali-G31 MP2 GPU which is in the mid-range. This SoC is very similar to its brother S905W2 which is somewhat inferior to the S905X3 or the recent S905X4, but nothing very remarkable. As it is possible to appreciate in the results we only have a small improvement in the single-core performance, it is well positioned matching Fire TV-Stick 4K and somewhat below the Googlecast TV. Undoubtedly this far exceeds the Xiaomi Mi TV-Stick 1080p. - CPU performance: Min 0.5 GHz / Working 1.2 GHz / Max 2 GHz - Check our [Amlogic S905Y4 SoC Comparison against all SoCs](https://androidpctv.com/amlogic-s905y4-comparative/) in the sector for more details. ![Xiaomi TV Stick 4K test eng 06 GeekBench](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-TV-Stick-4K-test-eng-06-GeekBench.jpg) [![Xiaomi TV Stick 4K test eng 05 PCMark](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-TV-Stick-4K-test-eng-05-PCMark.jpg)](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-TV-Stick-4K-test-eng-05-PCMark.jpg "Xiaomi TV Stick 4K test eng 05 PCMark") [![Xiaomi TV Stick 4K test eng 04 3DMark](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-TV-Stick-4K-test-eng-04-3DMark.jpg)](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-TV-Stick-4K-test-eng-04-3DMark.jpg "Xiaomi TV Stick 4K test eng 04 3DMark") In the games section we can run [PUBG](https://androidpctv.com/pubg-mobile-android-compatibles-tvbox-play-gamepad-keyboard-mouse/) in medium/low quality and also cloud gaming services like [NVIDIA GForce Now](https://androidpctv.com/nvidia-geforce-now-android-tv-box/) or using the APK to install it. In the emulators section we can get at most run some Wii titles, but we will not have problems with 2D games of classic consoles with emulators like [Retroarch](https://androidpctv.com/tutorial-retroarch-emulator-android-tvbox-smartphone-pc/) or using [KODI](https://androidpctv.com/tutorial-kodi-emulator-download-rom/), the full OS [EmuELEC](https://androidpctv.com/tutorial-emuelec-turns-your-android-tv-box-into-a-retro-console/) is not compatible. - Games and emulators: Is possible to play titles such as [PUBG](https://androidpctv.com/pubg-mobile-android-compatibles-tvbox-play-gamepad-keyboard-mouse/) / YES Vulkan support / Basic emulators in [RetroArch](https://androidpctv.com/tutorial-retroarch-emulator-android-tvbox-smartphone-pc/) or [KODI](https://androidpctv.com/tutorial-kodi-emulator-download-rom/). - Controls: Compatible with [Bluetooth or USB Gamepads](https://amzn.to/37ezHiU). ![android games s014](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/android-games-s014.jpg) This SoC is manufactured in 12nm, has a fairly low power consumption and the cooling system maintains very low temperatures in normal use. The processor manages the speeds correctly so as not to heat up excessively. - Thermals: Min. 40ºC / Working 42 ºC / Max. 63ºC / Maintains performance up to 100% / Heat zone on the top / Noise 0db - Consumption: Off 0.9W / Min 3W / Working 3.2W / Max. 4.5W [![Xiaomi tv stick 4k review s003](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-s003.jpg)](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-s003.jpg "Xiaomi tv stick 4k review s003") [![Xiaomi tv stick 4k review s018](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-s018.jpg)](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-s018.jpg "Xiaomi tv stick 4k review s018") ## Video and Audio test ### Video playback test In the video playback section the Xiaomi TV Stick 4K is compatible with most modern formats such as h.265, VP9 with native 4K@60fps HDR resolution support and is compatible with the recent [AV1 codec](https://androidpctv.com/tutorial-playback-video-av1-codec-android-windows/) but only with streaming apps like YouTube or with the internal media player. We have good performance with 10bit color formats with HDR support and also with Dolby Vision. In the settings we can disable the HDR effect outside of the supported content. In terms of audio we can play DD and DTS sound up to 7.1 through its HDMI port with support for Dolby Atmos and DTS HR codecs. The Chromecast system works perfectly with all compatible services including apps like Netflix. It is possible to use players such as KODI or PLEX without the slightest problem by installing them directly from the Android TV store. - Video Settings: NO image quality settings / HDMI-CEC available, [see manual](https://androidpctv.com/tutorial-remote-android-tvbox-minipc-hdmi-cec/) / Automatic refresh rate not available. - Audio Settings: HDMI 7.1 / NO USB audio settings. - Color and HDR: 10Bit / RGB / HDR 10+ / Dolby Vision / Enables HDR to be disabled. - Media sharing: GoogleCast YES / Miracast NO / DLNA with [BlubblePnP](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bubblesoft.android.bubbleupnp) / Airplay NO. - LibreELEC: This model is NOT compatible with [LibreELEC or CoreELEC](https://androidpctv.com/tutorial-libreelec-install-guide-tv-box-android/). - Tutorials: [Install add-on in KODI](https://androidpctv.com/tutorial-how-to-install-an-add-on-in-kodi-in-a-simple-way/) / [Judder effect, how to fix it](https://androidpctv.com/tutorial-judder-in-video-playback-what-is-and-how-to-fix-it-in-android-or-windows/) / [Multi-channel audio guide](https://androidpctv.com/multichannel-audio-windows-android/) / [Fix dark video playback](https://androidpctv.com/how-to-improve-dark-scenes-in-video-playback-on-a-android-tv-box/). - We recommend reading the [Setup Guide of our TV](https://androidpctv.com/tutorial-picture-quality-android-tvbox-mini-pc/) to get the best picture quality. ![video sample test n09 min](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/video-sample-test-n09-min.jpg) [![Xiaomi tv stick 4k review s004](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-s004.jpg)](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-s004.jpg "Xiaomi tv stick 4k review s004") [![Xiaomi tv stick 4k review s005](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-s005.jpg)](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-s005.jpg "Xiaomi tv stick 4k review s005") #### Video and audio results \| \| \| \|---\|---\| \| Formats \| Result \| \| h.264 / 1080i / 8bit \| OK \| \| h.264 / 1080p / 4K / 8bit \| OK \| \| h.264 / 1080p / 10bit (anime) \| Frameskip (SW) \| \| h.265 / 1080p / 8bit \| OK \| \| h.265 / 1080p / 10bit (anime) \| OK \| \| h.265 / 4K@24fps / 8bit \| OK \| \| h.265 / 4K@60fps / 10bit HDR \| OK \| \| VP9 P1 / 4K@24fps / 8bit \| OK \| \| VP9 P2 / 4K@60fps / 10bit HDR \| OK \| \| VP9 P2 / 8K@60fps / 10bit HDR \| OK \| \| AV1 / 4K@24fps / 10bit \| Only in streaming apps such as Youtube and internal player. \| \| Max.

The Xiaomi TV Stick 4K offers maximum compatibility with all current streaming services. As we have checked Netflix allows us to watch 4K content with Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos certificates. We also have Disney+ without sound problems and Amazon Prime video or HBO Max in good quality installable from Google Play if we look for it. - DRM: Google Widevine L1 / Playready. - Audio/Video certification: DTS HD – Dolby Atmos / Dolby Vision. - Tutorials: [Change the size of the captions and the mouse pointer on Android](https://androidpctv.com/change-size-captions-mouse-pointer-android/) / [Install Addons in KODI in a simple way](https://androidpctv.com/tutorial-how-to-install-an-add-on-in-kodi-in-a-simple-way/) \| \| \| \|---\|---\| \| Streaming service \| Calidad / Audio \| \| *Youtube* \| 4K (2160p) / 5.1 \| \| *Google Play Movies* \| 4K (2160p) / 5.1 \| \| *Netflix* \| 4K (2160p) / 7.1 / [Netflix Guide](https://androidpctv.com/netflix-hd-4k-android/) \| \| *HBO Max* \| 4K (2160p) / 5.1 / [HBO Max Guide](https://androidpctv.com/guide-hbo-max-4k-android-pc-ios/) \| \| *Disney+* \| 4K (2160p) / 7.1 / [Disney+ Guide](https://androidpctv.com/disney-incompatible-android-tvbox-tablet-smartphone-fix/) \| \| *Apple TV+* \| 4K (2160p) / 7.1 / [Apple TV+ Guide](https://androidpctv.com/apple-tv-plus-tutorial-guide-android/) \| \| *Prime Video* \| 4K (2160p) / 7.1 / [Prime Video Guide](https://androidpctv.com/user-guide-to-watch-amazon-prime-video-in-hd-and-4k-quality/) \| \| *DAZN* \| HD (720p) / Stereo \| \| *IPTV* \| FullHD (1080i) / Stereo \| ![video youtube av1 s005](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/video-youtube-av1-s005.jpg) [![Mecool KM7 review sh002](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Mecool-KM7-review-sh002-945x532.jpg)](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Mecool-KM7-review-sh002.jpg "Mecool KM7 review sh002") [![HBO Max](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/HBO-Max-video-eng-03-945x532.jpg)](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/HBO-Max-video-eng-03.jpg "HBO Max video eng 03") ## Conclusions and buy links for Xiaomi TV Stick 4K ### Score ### Opinion After testing the Xiaomi TV Stick 4K we can say that we are facing an Android TV Stick that offers very good results. This is a small device that thanks to the SoC S905Y4 allows us to move any app, powerful games, emulators up to 16/32bit, IPTV apps or make use of KODI where we can play 4K HDR video without problems. It is also compatible with all streaming apps in high quality, plays Netflix 4K with Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos system without problems. In the connectivity section the Xiaomi TV Stick 4K has a Wifi aC + BT 5.0 adapter with pretty good speeds, but if we want to connect it via Ethernet we need a micro USB OTG cable. This Stick as we have found does not heat up in continuous use. It includes the Android TV 11 Certified system, which in general is very stable and moves very smoothly, also has Chromecast and is controlled with a Bluetooth remote with integrated microphone. Undoubtedly the new Xiaomi TV Stick 4K is a TV-Stick with Android TV 11 very efficient and compact design. A small player that allows us to play all paid streaming services and move through the system smoothly. ### Where to buy - Xiaomi TV Stick 4K can be purchased at [Amazon](https://amzn.to/3CVpV5K) or [AliExpress](https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DBTYflZ) only for [\$64](https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DBTYflZ) with shipping cost included [![Xiaomi Mi TV Stick 4K review](https://androidpctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Xiaomi-tv-stick-4k-review-f007.jpg)](https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_AY4oAB)
