It will have 750MHz Mali 450 for graphics. The dongle will also have 1GB of RAM. On the software front, it will run Google's Android Pie and is likely to have lots of customisations on top.

That said, Xiaomi's Mi TV stick will be competing with Google's upcoming streaming dongle. Codenamed Sabrina, Google's Android TV stick will still have that familiar circular design but will function like the Fire TV stick. The Google device is also said to come with a remote control with a circular D-pad and shortcuts for launching Google Assistant and other functionalities. 

We're likely to find out more about the two new streaming dongles in the coming days. Until then, stay tuned.
