Hey! Currently looking at Xiaomi Mi Box S (EU) and the newest Chromecast with Google TV. The Mi Box is little bit more expensive at €75, the Chromecast is about €70. Which one would be the smoothest and fastest or any other options? I'm based in Belgium so kinda limited it seems. Looking for only devices that have remote tho, the reason I'm not going for the Chromecast 3.
Not androidTV but I consider the FireTV stick 4K to be the best bang for your buck streaming device. It's on sale for 30€ regularly offers great speed and functionality for the price.
If the Mi Box is too expensive for you I don't know what cheaper option you could get, anyway, here's a list of other brands:
- Ematic Jetstream (Engel EN1015K for Europe)
- JBL Link Bar
- Mecool KM6 Classic Edition (Prime Video only. 10/100 ethernet. AV1 hardware decoding. 2GB of RAM. Available at mecoolonline.com )
- Mecool KM6 Deluxe Edition (Prime Video only. Gigabit ethernet. WiFi 6. AV1 hardware decoding. 4GB of RAM. Available at mecoolonline.com )
- Minix Neo T5 (No Netflix/Prime Video. Gigabit ethernet. Remote control doesn't have a microphone)
- Xiaomi Mi TV Stick (1080p only)

Fellow belgian here. I have the mibox, i'm not too thrilled about it. If you use kodi to view you're own media(h264 codex) , you get terrible ghosting on dark scenes. I'd go for the chromecast with Google tv. And then immediately disable Google tv, to have regular android tv.
