Used Fire Stick 4K vs New Mi Box 4K

by poco_gamer

I am getting a used Amazon Fire Stick 4K for ₹2500 ($34) and a new Mi Box 4K for ₹3300 ($45). New New Firestick 4K sometimes sells for ₹4000 ($55) on sale. Which do you suggest will be a better option?? I already have a 2nd gen Chromecast at home but it seems cumbersome controlling it with phone

I intend to watch Youtube mostly, then Amazon Prime and a few apps here and there. Mi Box's USB support is sth I like as my TV can't natively play many codecs like h.265 or mkv format. Though I have a 1080p TV, I think getting a 4K box/stick is better for future proofing and have better specs too.

I would go with Mibox because I prefer Android TV and the Google echo system to Fire OS. They are pretty equal devices capability wise. Both are close to 3 year old devices so I don't know how future proof either would be.

Have you considered a nvidia shield? You can pick one up for about $100. Hands down the best streaming device available. It only does everything.
