An old TV with a working HDMI port doesn't need replacing—it just needs the Xiaomi Mi TV Stick MDZ-24-AA plugged into it. Running full Android TV, this compact stick turns pretty much any television into a genuine smart TV, giving you instant access to Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video, Disney+, Spotify, and thousands more apps through the Google Play Store, all without buying a new television.
Streaming runs in Full HD 1080p, and with built-in Chromecast, you can cast video, music, or photos straight from your phone to the TV without even picking up the remote. Google Assistant is built in too, so you can search for shows, control playback, or ask questions using just your voice, handled through the included Bluetooth remote.
Under the hood, a Quad-Core Cortex-A53 processor paired with 1GB RAM and 8GB of storage handles app navigation and streaming smoothly, while dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4GHz and 5GHz) keeps your connection stable even if your router's a little further from the TV. Dolby Audio and DTS support add proper depth to sound when paired with a soundbar or AV receiver, so you're not stuck with flat, thin audio from streamed content.
Genuinely compact and lightweight at just 28.5g, it's easy to leave permanently plugged in at home or slip into a bag for a hotel room or a friend's TV when you're travelling—plug it into any HDMI port, connect to Wi-Fi, and you're streaming within minutes.
For anyone with a TV that still works perfectly well but just isn't "smart," the Mi TV Stick is a genuinely simple, affordable way to catch up without replacing the whole television.
