Xiaomi TV Stick 4K 2nd Gen Black
Score: 80/100Rankings
The MECOOL KM2 Plus Deluxe provides a powerful Android TV 11 platform with 4 GB RAM, Wi-Fi 6, gigabit Ethernet and full Dolby Vision and AV1 support for premium 4K streaming. It is limited by USB 2.0 ports and an older OS that may not receive future updates. Perfect for users wanting high-quality video and robust networking without breaking the bank.
Xiaomi TV Stick 4K (2nd Gen) is a compact dongle with Wi-Fi 6, a powerful 2.5 GHz CPU and Dolby Vision/Atmos support, running Google TV. It lacks Ethernet and AI upscaling, which may affect network stability and upscaling quality. Great for portable, budget-friendly 4K streaming on the go.

Professional reviewers consider the KM2 PLUS Deluxe a high-performance streaming box, lauding its sleek aesthetics, robust 4K HDR playback, extensive connectivity (including Ethernet and Wi-Fi 6) and support for premium codecs, while noting the absence of USB 3.0 and the older Android TV 11 platform as drawbacks.
Consumers overwhelmingly praise the device for smooth, buffer-free 4K streaming, fast network performance and generous RAM/storage that handle multiple apps, but they consistently criticize the slow USB 2.0 ports and the lack of OS updates beyond Android TV 11.
