In the near future, the announcement of a new miniature TV box Xiaomi is expected - like the Mi Box, but in form factor and size it will resemble a regular USB flash drive. It seems that the rumors about this device turned out to be true: although there was no presentation yet, it can already be ordered on AliExpress.
The novelty received a 4-core processor with a frequency of 2 GHz, 1 GB of RAM and 8 GB of internal memory. It runs on Android TV 9.0 and is suitable for Full HD TVs. Audio and video content from the device is broadcast via HDMI 2.0. Micro USB is used for power supply.
The box comes preloaded with programs like Netflix and Amazon Prime, and other compatible apps can be downloaded from the Google Play store. Also included is a Bluetooth remote with support for voice control (Google Assistant preinstalled) and dedicated buttons for Netflix and Amazon Prime.
The set-top box can be ordered on AliExpress for 4,600 rubles, delivery to Russia is free. This is an international version with support for many languages, including Russian, and an English manual included.

In addition, a more advanced version of the Mi TV Stick with 4K support was also spotted on GearBest. She received 2 GB of RAM, a more powerful processor and graphics, and a USB-C connector instead of micro USB. The seller promises to send the device on June 29 - July 7 and asks for the set-top box about 10,500 rubles, including delivery. When deliveries of the base model will begin, it is not specified yet.
BUY
It is likely that after the official announcement and release, there will be better deals for both models - in leaks it was mentioned that a 4K set-top box will cost about $ 70 (≈4,850 rubles), and the basic version will cost $ 50 (≈3,470 rubles). But it should be borne in mind that we were probably talking about Chinese versions, while global models always cost a little more.
