Xiaomi releases cheaper TV Stick HD (2nd Gen) in Europe before global launch
A few months have passed since Xiaomi announced the TV Stick HD (2nd Gen). For context, the new TV Stick was listed on the company's global website in March. While that listing indicated that Xiaomi would release the TV Stick HD (2nd Gen) globally, it did not reveal when.
However, Xiaomi's latest streaming stick is now available to purchase in Europe pending a global rollout. Specifically, the TV Stick HD (2nd Gen) can be purchased from Xiaomi's Polish website. Hence, we suspect the device will reach other parts of Europe in the coming weeks.
In the meantime, Xiaomi Poland indicates that the TV Stick HD (2nd Gen) may only be slightly cheaper than the existing TV Stick 4K (2nd Gen) (curr. $74.99 on Amazon). At the time of writing, the former can be purchased for PLN 209 (~$57), compared to PLN 239 (~$65) for the TV Stick 4K (2nd Gen). On this basis, the TV Stick HD (2nd Gen) may reach the Eurozone for between €50 and €60.
To recap, the TV Stick HD (2nd Gen) runs Google TV with 1 GB of DDR4 RAM and an unnamed chipset that combines a Mali-G31 MP2 GPU with a quad-core Cortex-A55 CPU. Also, the streaming stick supports Bluetooth 5 and 5 GHz Wi-Fi but contains a Micro USB port for charging purposes. Moreover, the TV Stick HD (2nd Gen) outputs at up to 1080p and 60 Hz with Dolby Audio, DTS:X and HDR10+ support. Please see our launch article and Xiaomi's website for more details.
