Xiaomi TV Stick 4K Review: Xiaomi is back in the streaming game!

When Xiaomi came out with its first generation TV Stick back in 2020, the main gripe that consumers had with it was the lack of 4K streaming support. With industry giant Amazon dominating the streaming device segment with Fire TV Stick, Xiaomi did not have much of a chance at capturing any significant market share with a product that capped video quality at 1080p.  But now, the story may take a turn. Last month Xiaomi came out with its next-generation TV Stick 4K which, as you can guess from the name, offers 4K streaming support. Apart from video quality, Xiaomi has made some minor but noticeable changes that make the TV Stick 4K a complete streaming product. So does this device finally have what it takes to go against the Fire TV Stick? Read our review of the Xiaomi TV Stick 4K to find out.

Xiaomi TV Stick 4K review: Design

The Xiaomi TV Stick 4K ships in a compact rectangular box. Inside, you will find the TV Stick, remote, power adapter, USB cable, HDMI extender cable, and a booklet that serves as an installation and product information guide. The remote requires two AAA batteries to function which are not included in the box. Xiaomi TV Stick 4K review: Design The design of the Xiaomi TV Stick remains unchanged from its previous generation, although it is slightly larger in size. The top two-thirds portion of the stick gets a matte finish while the bottom third has a glossy texture. The Xiaomi branding has been embossed on the matte finish and the small notification light has been housed in the glossy section. The micro USB port has been placed on the side. It is a little weird that Xiaomi hasn’t gone for the USB-C port on their new device, but they have provided a USB cable with the product. Xiaomi TV Stick 4K review: Design You also get an HDMI extender cable along with the Xiaomi TV Stick 4K. This came in extremely useful since the TV we were using had only 2 HDMI ports next to each other, which didn’t allow two bulky devices to be connected side by side. If your TV is wall mounted, the HDMI extender cable may dangle from the side. The TV Stick remote carries the same minimal design as its predecessor. It’s good to see Xiaomi has not tried anything new with the remote as its clean, easy-to-use layout was one of the highlights of the previous-generation product. The remote is easy to pair with your TV and there is an option to use the remote control functionality on the Google TV app.  The power button has been placed at the top of the remote followed by a dedicated button for Google Assistant. There are dedicated buttons for Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+ Hostar, and system apps as well.

Xiaomi TV Stick 4K review: Performance 

The Xiaomi TV Stick 4K is powered by a Quad-core Cortex-A35 processor and runs Android TV 11. The device features 2GB of RAM along with 8GB of storage space. Throughout our use, we did not experience any annoying lags or stutters. Pairing the stick to your TV is an easy process as well. All you need to do is plug in the stick to the HDMI port in your TV and connect the power adapter to the wall socket. Plug in the micro USB cable to the TV stick and you’re good to go. Connect the TV stick to your home WiFi network and sign in using your Google Account to download the streaming apps from the Play Store. Xiaomi TV Stick 4K review: Performance  What we liked the most about the Xiaomi TV Stick 4K was the bloatware-free Android TV 11 OS experience. It comes with some pre-installed apps like Netflix, Prime Video, and YouTube, but we wouldn’t exactly call it bloatware. You also get Xiaomi’s MiTV+ app on the device, which lets you watch a bunch of TV channels at no additional cost. Switching between the apps is an absolute breeze and the browsing experience is seamless. Xiaomi’s Patchwall interface curates content from different streaming platforms on your homepage. The look and aesthetic of the Patchwall are quite pleasing to the eye, and it comes in handy when you don’t want to jump between different apps to find what you want to watch. The built-in support for Chromecast and Google Assistant also brings a whole lot of smartness to your TV. Xiaomi TV Stick 4K review: Performance  As we mentioned earlier, the biggest upgrade on the Xiaomi TV Stick is 4K media support. Paired with Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision support, the Xiaomi TV Stick 4K provides an exemplary viewing experience that is in line with the best streaming on the market right now. We streamed HBO’s latest hit The Last Of Us and were not disappointed with the seamless streamless and vivid images we were treated to. Xiaomi TV Stick 4K review: Performance  The remote is extremely accessible to use, even for people that aren’t tech-savvy. The minimal design and dedicated keys for major streaming services make the device very easy to use. If you’re thinking about gifting a smart TV stick to your elderly parents or relatives, the simplicity of Xiaomi’s product should make it the pick of the lot. The only problem with the remote is that it lacks a mute button. You will need to use your old remote controller or the Google TV app to mute the system. We would also have liked an extra customisable hotkey on the remote.  Read Also: Vivo V27 Pro and Vivo V27 with 120Hz 3D curved display launched in India

Verdict

Priced at Rs 4,999, the Xiaomi TV Stick 4K is a great device to pick up to bring Android functionalities to your TV. There’s no skipping this one as Xiaomi has delivered the entire package – from 4K streaming support to built-in Chromecast and Google Assistant. The minimal design and easy accessibility of the remote is also a big point in its favour. However, we feel like Xiaomi could have been more moderate with the pricing, as their products have a reputation for undercutting their competition by a decent price margin.

Pros

4K streaming Minimal design for the remote Ease of access

Cons

Price could have been lower No mute button on the remote For the latest gadget and tech news, and gadget reviews, follow us on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

The Rising Popularity of UPI Payments for Gaming Transactions

Indian Casinos Started to Prioritize the UPI Payment     

Online casinos in India do whatever it takes to satisfy their customers. They are trying to attract people to their website by offering a wide range of games, amazing bonuses, and adequate protection of data. Unfortunately, for a long time, people had to wait for days to deposit/withdraw their money/winning. With the improvement of technology, something like that is no longer a problem. It is noticeable that UPI casinos in India are becoming more and more popular. People love to use that payment method because of its wonderful benefits. In this article, we would like to discuss the UPI payment method and highlight the reasons why people should use it for gambling. Also, we would like to provide tips on how people can find the best Indian UPI casinos. Let’s go!

Do All Casinos Accept UPI Payments?

It would be unfair to say the answer is YES. Some online casinos still do not accept UPI payments. However, that’s actually a good thing for you. You will easily determine whether some gambling site deserves your attention or not. Based on our research, UPI payment method is accepted in most of the best Indian online casinos. These sites understand that UPI is becoming more and more popular among the locals. That is the reason why they want to ensure a pleasant gambling experience. Of course, finding the best UPI casinos in India isn’t easy. Despite their willingness to accept that payment method, you must check other features to confirm quality. The casino site you choose must have a license. After that, you should check the diversity and quality of the games, bonuses, conditions you have to meet to unlock rewards, etc. We invite you to analyze each feature carefully. Even the average gambling sites try to represent themselves as top Indian UPI casinos. As we said, check all the details about casinos or read reviews written by experts online to get some answers.

Before Everything – What Is UPI?

For those that do not know, UPI stands for Unified Payments Interface. It is a modern and properly protected payment tool that allows customers to connect one app to their smartphone with different bank accounts. However, with the UPI tool, they no longer have to provide the account number of the IFSC code to approve the transactions. Every money transfer made by UPI is instant, which is great for gamblers who want to start gambling as soon as possible.

How Does UPI Work?

It doesn’t matter if you have already used something similar for gambling transfers. UPI is an extremely simple tool for people of all ages. As we said, you do not have to provide the account number every time you plan to make a transaction on some of the best UPI casinos. Instead of that, the only thing you will have to use is a virtual address. This virtual address is known under the name Virtual Payment Address or VPA. Why are things so simple? The reason for that is probably the creator of this powerful tool as well as the regulatory body that controls and maintains it. The developer of this tool is the National Payments Corporation of India. But the Reserve Bank of India controls everything that happens around UPI. That ensures a high level of safety for every person that makes deposits at the best UPI casinos in India with this tool. All gamblers need to have four basic things to use UPI for their money transfers. Despite a decent smartphone, they also need at least 1 active bank account, a valid mobile number connected to one or more bank accounts, and a stable Wi-Fi connection. We can agree the requirements are not high, can’t we?

Benefits of UPI for Casino Money Transfers

You understand now why you need to find top UPI casinos in India. Despite the high level of safety, you will ensure yourself a lot of entertainment. But another thing we would like to discuss is the benefits you can get from using UPI for deposits and withdrawals. There are a couple of reasons why the United Payments Interface has become too popular in only 6 years, and we would like to share them with you!

All Transactions Are Safe

As we said, the creator of UPI is the National Payments Corporation of India, while the regulator of all the transactions and security of payment method is the Reserve Bank of India. These two institutions have a very strong reputation in India. They have managed to offer an extremely safe tool for every Indian citizen, including those that plan to use UPI for gambling. As we said, people only need to enter their VPA and approve the transaction made. There is nothing else you will have to share, which automatically reduces the chances that someone will steal or hack your data. More precisely, there is nothing hackers could steal from you. Of course, to ensure complete safety, we once again invite you to register only at the best UPI casinos!

All Transactions Are Extremely Quick

Are you tired of waiting for a couple of days to deposit money or get your winnings? Well, be sure you are not the only one. Both deposits and withdrawals are extremely quick with this payment method. You can use it 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. In case you get stuck for some reason, there is a very responsive, polite, and professional customer service that will solve all your doubts in minutes.

Compatible with Other Payment Apps 

Best of all, you can connect your UPI account with other payment apps. Believe it or not, you can connect your account with apps such as Google Pay or PayTM. Based on our research, more than 80% of people in India have installed these apps on their smartphone devices. That means a huge number of Indian gamblers will be satisfied with this opportunity!

Compatible with Different Operating Systems

All the people from India can use UPI on almost any smartphone device. This payment method is compatible with both iOS and Android. iPhone users had to wait a bit longer for this opportunity, but things changed a year and a half ago.

Conclusion

As you see, using UPI for gambling transactions is extremely easy. It does not come with any specific requirement. You just need to have a bank account, a stable Wi-Fi connection, and a smartphone. We are sure you already have all those things. In return, you will get quick and safe transactions that will make your gambling even comfier. Your only task is to find top Indian UPI casinos and ensure yourself a high level of entertainment.
