Chromecast with Google tv vs Mi box S vs Mi TV Stick

by Drakdos

Hi!

My TV is OLD AF, and i want a chromecast device to not plug in my laptop on HDMI anymore and enjoy netflix, star+, f1tv, twitch etc. Any comment on which one is better?

The price difference is negligible so just get the chromecast w/googletv it get more updates and will stay certified with all the major streaming platforms. Even at twice the price it's way more future proof saving you money down the line.

Go with Xiaomi Stick 4K..ATV11 and AV1 decoding.

Old AF is really old... Does your TV have hdmi inputs?

I’m guessing your TV is only 1080p if it’s that old?

I have the Mecool KD5 and love it. It is tunning Android TV 11 and has support for AV1 decoding, which the Mi TV Stick, Mi Box S and Chromecast with Google TV (4k) do not.

You could also look at the Chromecast with Google TV (HD). It also has AV1 decoding (The older 4k model does not) and it’s the first device with Android TV12.

The 4k Chromecast with Google TV is currently running android TV 10 with plans to get an update to Android TV 12 eventually. The two Xiaomi devices are also running on older Android TV versions.
