Weighing just 28.5g, with a quad-core Cortex-A53 processor, 1GB RAM, and 8GB storage, the Mi TV Stick EU delivers access to thousands of apps via Google Play, including Netflix and Prime Video, with Dolby and DTS surround sound for an immersive experience.

Why Choose the Mi TV Stick EU?

Compact and Portable Design

The Mi TV Stick EU, measuring 92.4 x 30.2 x 15.2 mm and weighing under 30g, is highly portable, fitting easily in your pocket for travel or use across multiple devices. It connects directly to any HDMI-enabled TV, monitor, or projector, requiring only a power source via micro-USB (from a TV USB port or included adapter). Setup is straightforward, completed in three steps via the Mi Home/Xiaomi Home app, as highlighted by TechRadar.

Limitless Entertainment Options

Running on Android TV 9.0, the Mi TV Stick EU provides access to over 7,000 apps on Google Play, including Netflix, Prime Video, YouTube, and Disney+. It supports voice search via Google Assistant and offers personalized content recommendations based on your YouTube and Google Play usage. The built-in Chromecast enables wireless streaming from your phone, tablet, or laptop, though some users note occasional lag with resource-intensive apps due to the 1GB RAM, as per CNET.

Design and Features of the Mi TV Stick EU

Sleek Black Aesthetic

The Mi TV Stick EU features a minimalist black design that blends seamlessly with any entertainment setup. Its lightweight, cable-free build eliminates clutter, plugging directly into an HDMI port. The included Bluetooth remote, with dedicated Netflix and Prime Video buttons and a Google Assistant microphone, ensures intuitive navigation, though some users report minor delays in voice command response.

Immersive Audio and Visuals

The Mi TV Stick EU supports Full HD (1920×1080) streaming at 60fps with H.265 decoding for smooth playback. It features Dolby Audio and DTS Surround Sound for a cinematic audio experience, ideal for movies and music. While it lacks 4K support (unlike the Xiaomi TV Stick 4K), it delivers crisp visuals on non-4K displays. Some users report color issues (e.g., green tint), which can be resolved by switching to RGB color space in settings.

Key Use Cases for the Mi TV Stick EU

Home Entertainment and Travel

The Mi TV Stick EU is ideal for upgrading non-smart TVs or monitors, providing access to streaming services like Netflix, YouTube, and Prime Video. Its portability makes it perfect for travelers to enjoy shows in hotels or temporary setups, requiring only a stable Wi-Fi connection (2.4GHz/5GHz). It supports Bluetooth headphones for private listening, though gaming performance may lag due to limited RAM, available at Aiconic Computers.

Smart Home Integration

With Google Assistant, the Mi TV Stick EU enables voice control for searching content, checking weather, or managing compatible Mi Smart Home devices. The Bluetooth remote’s 360° functionality ensures easy operation from any angle. Users can cast photos or videos from mobile devices using Chromecast, though a strong Wi-Fi connection (40–50 Mbps recommended) is advised for smooth streaming.

Features and Setup of the Mi TV Stick EU

Easy Installation and Connectivity

Setup involves plugging the stick into an HDMI port, connecting to Wi-Fi (802.11a/b/g/n/ac), and powering it via micro-USB. The Mi Home/Xiaomi Home app guides configuration. The device supports Bluetooth 4.2 for the remote and optional accessories like game controllers, though heavy gaming may strain the processor. The stick can be powered via a TV’s USB port, syncing power with the TV for convenience.

Versatile Content Access

Pre-installed Netflix and Prime Video apps, along with Google Play access, ensure a wide range of content. The stick supports H.265 video encoding for efficient streaming and storage. With 8GB storage (~5GB available after system use), offline downloads are limited, but users can install lightweight apps or games. Some report slowdowns with multiple apps running, suggesting closing background apps for optimal performance.
