There’s three big events left before the end of the year: Black Friday, Christmas and New Year. While we can’t do anything to bring Christmas or New Year any closer to today, Xiaomi has already brought Black Friday early to South Africa!
The technology giant and its retail partners like Game and Makro already have a wide array of Xiaomi items discounted for you to shop right now.
As the holidays are the perfect time to catch up on all the movies, shows and other content you missed during the year, Xiaomi has slashed the prices of its streaming hardware to make life that much easier during your relaxing off time – or those moments of respite for those working through the holiday season.
The Xiaomi TV Stick Media Player is available right now from both Game and Makro. In the past when we’ve discussed this amazing, compact device, we’ve commented on its amazing value at the RRP of R949. During the Black Friday sales, however, that has been reduced by R150, bringing the price down to just R799.
Weighing in at less than 30 grams and no bigger than a USB stick, the Xiaomi TV Stick Media Player is hiding an entire Android-based streaming computer inside of its tiny shell. Just plug this right into a free HDMI port on any TV or monitor to instantly turn it into a smart TV that’s packed with features.
Stream from any service with up to date apps in great 1080p quality along with improved audio thanks to Dolby technology and enjoy even more with native Android apps that can even support gaming.
This really is the perfect holiday companion too. Taking up no space in your luggage (or just throw it in your pocket), this streaming machine keeps you logged into all your accounts so you can stream again instantly when you arrive at your destination. There’s no hassle from going through the sign-in process, the inconvenience of using the account of someone else or the security headaches of inputting sensitive passwords on strange Wi-Fi connections.
The value you get from the Xiaomi TV Stick Media doesn’t stop as there’s also a physical remote control in the box for easy navigation and quick use. You can also control things from your smart device and beam content over with Chromecast, or go entirely handsfree with voice control.
With the ability to do all of that – and more, read that here – the R799 discounted price becomes even more amazing.
The Xiaomi TV Box S 2nd Gen is the “big brother” to the Xiaomi TV Stick Media. It’s packing more features, more power and the ability to support a higher resolution.
This TV Box has full support for native 4K resolution (3840 X 2160). Just a few years ago many devices really struggled with the strain of streaming and displaying 4K content as it requires much more compute power compared to 1080p. The quad-core processor on this device not only handles 4K with no issue, but also does it with luscious Dolby Atmos audio technology and support for various visual quality improvements like HDR10+.

While slightly bigger than the Xiaomi TV Stick Media and intended more for a permanent installation at home or work, the Xiaomi TV Box S 2nd Gen is still a compact device that punches above its weight class. It’s small enough to hide behind even desktop PC monitors and it’s a breeze to hide it away in your entertainment unit. It’s still small enough to take with you on trips too.
With all of these extras, you won’t be paying too much extra thanks to Xiaomi’s already great pricing on top of the Black Friday sale. Normally selling for a RRP of R1 299, take a full R300 off right now. You’re now only paying R999 for this from Game and Makro while stocks last.
