"USB 2.0"

Seriously?! Are we still in ~2002 here?! Clearly, this device doesn't support full *fluid* local streaming and Xiaomi fails to mention which Dolby Vision profiles this thing supports; which it could mean, most likely it only support streaming services fake Dolby Vision (p8) and not TRUE Dolby Vision (FEL/p7) profile.

Just saying "we support Dolby Vision" is part of marketing trickery; if Xiaomi supported all DV profiles... Xiaomi what have stated such... fast, especially today.

Edit: I see this thing only supports Dolby Vision p5, that's even worse (only a few displays support p5 over p8). Wow!

Pass!

Seriously, previous one was constantly stuttering and they STILL put 2GB ram? What the...

Is it 2018?

Oh dear. How is it that the 2nd generation has better support for audio than this? HDMI 2.1 but only caps out at 4k 60? The lack of proper dolby vision.
Are Xiaomi even trying at this point?
I will stick with my nvidia shield.

Doesn't come anywhere close to a T95 and more expensive... Pass
