Mi TV stick or Amazon fire TV stick
Which one is better so then I can Choose one...
Please give me the pros and cons...

If Amazon Prime Video is your primary OTT subscription, you can undoubtedly get the Fire Stick. The experience you get on the Fire Stick for Prime Video isn't available on other Android TV devices.

However, if you like casting a lot of content from mobile and Prime Video is not your primary OTT subscription, and you like to install apps from Play Store and are familiar with the Google Ecosystem, you can go with MI TV Stick or any other Android TV. The new Google TV interface would be available across the Android TV devices in 2021 if that's something of your concern.

Another point to note is that the Dolby audio on Fire TV Stick works without any issues on all the OTT apps where it's available. On Android TV hybrid boxes like XStream...
If both are available at the same price, then Fire TV Stick is the better option. If there are price constraints, then MI TV Stick is the best thing at that price

I have used neither of them. But Amazon Fire TV Stick should be good to go for comparing to Mi TV Stick.

@Siva bro uses Fire TV Stick AFAIK. So he can share his insights on it.
 
Normally would have gone with Mi TV. Newly added Live TV has changed my views on Fire TV.

Fine...
I have a 32 inch full HD TV.. it's not Android TV but only Smart TV...So I am thinking of buying a TV stick to use the apps presently subscribed ones...
BTW thanx for creating separate thread...
 
I personally use an Android TV so mobile casting option (through Android TV in built Chromecast feature) does the job well. I never looked for an extra OTT gadget including any Android set top boxes.

Sideloading is available on both types of devices, so that should not be a problem. The performance also should be similar, unless you compare with the high-end Fire TV Stick.

It Supports Miracast and Apple Air Play, so casting is not an issue if u want to cast your phones local content . Only issue is many OTT platforms doesn't support Miracast.

I already have 55 inch 4K TV and using all apps right there...I have another TV which is old as I said ...Now my grand daughter wanting to watch all apps in her bedroom..
These Android set top boxes r not made for OTT streaming any way...I lost about 2k in Binge plus although it's possible to watch with some screws in settings but that only I can do it every time...
