Overview
- Xiaomi listed the TV Stick HD (2nd Gen) on its global site Tuesday, signaling a near-term rollout in select regions and little chance of an official US release.
- The dongle outputs up to 1080p at 60Hz and moves to a quad‑core Cortex‑A55 with a Mali‑G31 MP2 GPU, which Xiaomi says delivers about a 38% CPU boost.
- AV1 decoding is onboard for app compatibility on Google TV, and video and audio support expands to HDR10+, Dolby Audio, and DTS:X.
- The package includes dual‑band Wi‑Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.0, and a voice remote with Netflix, Prime Video, YouTube, and Google Assistant shortcut buttons.
- Memory and power remain basic with 1GB of RAM, 8GB of storage, and a micro‑USB port, and pricing is unannounced as outlets peg a likely €45–€55 in Western Europe where many users still stream 1080p to avoid pricier 4K tiers.
