Mi Stick vs Mi Box S 4K

by JumpyHouse

I'm thinking about buying a top-box but I don't know which one to buy, on the one hand I have the Mi Box S which in addition to having support for 4K (although I still don't have any TV with support for it) has 2GB Ram, a processor more powerful and the possibility of adding a speaker via 3.5mm cable, in addition to being able to expand its capacity with a USB stick. Mi Stick is cheaper and only supports 1080p which is the resolution of my televisions. In Portugal the Mi Stick is around €30 cheaper than the Mi Box and that's why I ask if anyone has either of them to help me in the decision.

Although the Mi TV Stick is a relative new device, it only sports 1 GB of RAM so I don't recommend it if you don't plan to do only streaming, on the other hand, the Mi Box S SoC (S905X) is getting old so I recommend something with a not too old SoC such as the S905X2, X3 and X4, take a look at this list

get the onn 4k tv box it is 20 bucks and is more powerful then mi box s

i have the mi box 4k(diff name, same thing) and it's amazing, if you are just streaming, it won't make a difference, i had to buy box because there is no place for stick as it is wall mounted

As a portuguese, albeit born in Germany, i use the box. I don't have the stick, so no opinion on it, but the box fulfills every need I have. It even works for iptv, no stutter, still gets updates

Whatever you do, don't buy the Mi TV stick
