The Xiaomi TV Stick is now available at a standout outlet price at Carrefour, offering a compelling alternative to the Amazon Fire TV Stick. Priced at just €39.90, this compact streaming device brings smart TV capabilities to almost any television with an HDMI port.
For anyone looking to upgrade an older TV without spending a fortune, this deal is worth serious consideration. The Xiaomi TV Stick runs Google TV, includes the Google Assistant, and comes with a remote that has dedicated buttons for Netflix and Prime Video.
Why the Xiaomi TV Stick Is a Solid Fire TV Stick Alternative
The Fire TV Stick dominates the streaming device market, but it's not the only option. Xiaomi's offering has carved out a niche for itself by delivering a similar experience at a competitive price point. This Carrefour promotion makes it even more attractive.

Unlike the Fire TV Stick, which is deeply integrated into Amazon's ecosystem, the Xiaomi TV Stick runs Google TV. That means you get access to the full Google Play Store, seamless integration with Google Assistant, and a interface that prioritizes content from across your subscriptions.
It's a small device—roughly the size of a USB flash drive—so you can easily move it between TVs without hassle. That portability is a key advantage if you have multiple older TVs in the house and don't want to buy a streaming stick for each one.
Key Features and Specifications
The model on sale at Carrefour is the basic HD version. It outputs video at 1080p, which makes it ideal for older TVs that max out at HD resolution. If you have a 4K TV, you won't be able to take full advantage of its capabilities with this model.
Here's a quick rundown of what you get with the Xiaomi TV Stick:
- Google TV operating system with access to thousands of apps via Google Play Store
- Google Assistant built-in for voice search and smart home control
- HD resolution (1080p) output via HDMI
- Compact design that plugs directly into an HDMI port
- Remote control with dedicated Netflix and Prime Video buttons
How It Compares to the Competition
To understand the value proposition, it helps to see how the Xiaomi TV Stick stacks up against similar devices. The table below compares key specs and pricing.
| Device | Resolution | OS | Price (approx.) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Xiaomi TV Stick (HD) | 1080p | Google TV | €39.90 (sale) |
| Amazon Fire TV Stick (HD) | 1080p | Fire OS | €39.99 (typical) |
| Xiaomi TV Stick 4K | 4K | Google TV | €49.99 (typical) |
| Roku Express | 1080p | Roku OS | €29.99 |
As you can see, the Xiaomi TV Stick is priced in line with the Fire TV Stick, but offers the advantage of Google TV. If you're already invested in Google's ecosystem, it's a natural fit.
Who Should Buy This Deal?
This Carrefour offer is particularly appealing if you have an older TV that isn't smart. Many people have perfectly good HD TVs that lack built-in streaming apps. Instead of buying a new TV, a streaming stick like this can extend the life of your existing set for years.
It's also a good option for a secondary TV—say, in a bedroom or kitchen—where you don't need 4K. The compact size means you can easily move it between rooms if needed.
However, if you have a 4K TV, you'd be better off spending a bit more on the 4K version of the Xiaomi TV Stick or a similar 4K-capable device. The HD model won't do justice to a 4K screen.
What to Consider Before Buying
Before you rush to Carrefour, make sure your TV has an available HDMI port. The Xiaomi TV Stick plugs directly into an HDMI port and requires a power source via USB. Most TVs have a USB port for power, but if not, you'll need to use the included power adapter. The background to this story is set out in Xiaomi TV Box S 3rd Gen: The Best Fire TV Stick Alternative.

Also, check the Wi-Fi signal strength in the room where you plan to use it. Streaming HD video requires a stable internet connection. If your Wi-Fi is weak, you might experience buffering.
