This is just for the Generic image as the fix only targeting this platform.

Not a leak but a listing, perhaps by mistake, revealing the new Android TV device by Xiaomi has come up from Gearbest. The brand-new Xiaomi Mi TV Stick running on Android TV OS. The device has been already confirmed that will start selling on May 2020 so we are either way really close.
It’s very curious that while the listing doesn’t feature a price for the Android TV Stick, the $79.99 price does show up at the retailer’s search page. The cost of the device looks like a flash sale but it can also prove to be a price for those who just get the Mi TV Stick for first.
Diving into the specs, the Xiaomi Mi TV Stick will be running just with a little better specs as the previously released Xiaomi Mi Box S. but in a smaller size. The Mi TV stick comes with the Amlogic S905Y2 quad-core CPU, 2GB of RAM, and 8GB of storage. The GPU is a Mali-G31. But we should wait for official confirmation since the listing displays the device as “Mi Box S,” which means this could be just a copy and paste from the previous listings until GearBest has updated information. That mention could also be a typo, and these specs may be correct. According to the Gearbest listing, the Mi TV Stick also supports 4K HDR, DTS-HD audio, Dolby Stereo Sound, Dual-Band Wi-Fi ac, Bluetooth v4.2, and a USB 3.0 Type-C port for charging.
However, the $79.99 price listed in the search results is higher by almost 25% from the Xiaomi Mi Box S, which retailed for $59.99 at launch. And we are not even sure if that ends up being the final price for the new Xiaomi Mi TV Stick. The listing is showing as a “Flash Sale”. That can also mean that the final price may be $100 after the flash sale ends.
I really wished the new Android TV device from Xiaomi would have better specs. While I am 100% sure that the performance will be absolutely great, it would have been very appreciated if Xiaomi updated the specs to a more 2020 device. Let’s just hope that as with the Nvidia Shield TV 2019, we will see a PRO version by Xiaomi too.
In any case, as the previous Mi Box S has been one of our best Android TV Box devices, we are confident that Xiaomi will not disappoint us with this new model.
Donating to KODI. As you might know, your donations help KODI deliver a great media center experience with Kodi.
The Android TV-powered TiVo Stream 4K was originally expected to launch with a $50 promotional pricing this April. It offers an Android TV experience that’s all about live TV and also uses some changes to Android TV than we’d usually see, including a proper channel surfing experience.
Originally, TiVo announced the Stream 4K to arrive in April 2020, but that date has come and gone. Speaking to TVTechnology recently (via ZatzNotFunny), TiVo confirmed the Stream 4K would be at least slightly delayed, set to arrive “in the next few weeks”.
While it is possible this could be related to coronavirus production issues that also other companies have faced this period, TiVo hasn’t released any further information. In any case, here at Dimitrology.com we’re still pretty excited to test out this new Android TV dongle for ourselves. We’ll keep you updated on when it’s officially released.

The Amazon Prime Day 2020 this summer will no longer be holding at the usual time — at least according to one report. The Prime Day event usually takes place in the middle of July.
But which is Prime Day 2020 Date? The beloved shopping event will be pushed back until at least August, according to notes from an internal meeting obtained by Reuters. The major shopping event was started in 2015. Even though it generally occurs each July, this year rumours had it happening around the end of June 2020. All that of course, before the pandemic occurred.
The online shopping giant expects a potential $100 million loss from excess devices that it might now sell at a discount. That’s according to internal meeting notes seen, as Reuters reported. The news agency mentioned that “5 million extra devices that Amazon would have sold during Prime Day, such as its suite of voice-controlled Echo speakers”.
“We probably have to promote sooner, which will be difficult if we’re capacity constrained,” Amazon General Counsel David Zapolsky wrote in notes from a daily meeting of Amazon executives.
The postponement od the Amazon Prime Day 2020 Date would mark a major shift by Amazon to address the economic effects of the Covid 19 Novel coronavirus pandemic.
Amazon does not disclose revenue from Prime Day but it is known that merchants contributed to $2 billion in sales during Prime Day in 2019, which lasts for 48 hours and over 18 countries worldwide. Promotions for Amazon’s members, Prime Membership, have also proven an effective way for the company to draw more people, In fact, during Prime Day a lot of people become members, at $119 per year in the United States.
Just a reminder, also available on Amazon you can find the Dimitrology Shop. There is a selection of the devices I personally tested, use and highly recommend.
Nubia Red Magic 5G Review: the gamer’s phone in 2020! It is finally available to buy, perhaps the best gaming smartphone you can buy at a very competitive price. Starting from $579 / €579 for the 8GB / 128GB version, the RedMagic 5G is a great value for money. Sporting all the flagship devices specs, inside a unique and sportive hood, it’s a gamer’s dream. And you can enhance your gaming experience even more with some Red Magic 5G exclusives like the Pro Handle and the Magic Adapter for the RedMagic 5G.
With a metal frame and a glass back, the phone is very nicely built and pleasing to the hand. The robust quality gives not only confidence but also a great grip. The front is occupied by the gorgeous display, meanwhile, the sportive back also houses the exhausts of the speed fan. This last one can go up to 15.000 rpm when needed for an incredibly cool performance even after hours of playing. Also, it is RGB illuminated for a more aggressive character but it can easily be turned off by the pressing of a toggle.
The customized version of Android 10, the Red Magic 3.0, comes with no bloatware and without any ugly custom icons. It seems like a pure Android version with the tweaks of course by RedMagic. Neo AI, Colorful Light Effects, Cooling Fan, Gaming Dock, and Navigation Buttons & Gestures are just some of them. On GeekBench the Red Magic 5G gets a brilliant 940 Single-Core Score and 3246 Multi-Core Score and more than 592000 on Antutu. The default refresh rate of the display is at 90Hz and of course, you can maximize to 144Hz or just use it at 60Hz for more battery-friendly settings. This is a global refresh rate so can have it on everything, not only inside games but also on any app and system.
With the speed fan on you will never get over 60C which is dropping the temperature from 75C when the fan is turned off. That is an amazing gain and makes the job done exactly as advertised so great job Red Magic! When the fan is on you can hear the silent noise coming out of it but nothing that will give you any annoyances. Also, it comes on automatically if selected, just when gaming in order to push the CPU and GPU to the max without any throttling issues.
The front face camera is an 8MP f2.0 and it supports video up to 1080p at 30fps. On the back, we find 3 lenses: The main 64MP with f1.8 26mm wide with EIS, an 8MP f2.0 13mm ultrawide camera and a macro lens of 2MP. The video camera supports up to 4K at 15 fps, 4K at 60/30 fps and 1800p 240/120/60/30 fps.
The 4500mAh battery is a huge battery but of course, it is also needed since this is a gaming smartphone and especially at 144Hz. When you do not game, I would suggest you use at 90Hz which is the sweet spot in my opinion on the “normal” usage for a brilliant experience and battery performance too. This is also something we do not find in a lot of phones, the ability to switch among different refresh settings in various scenarios. Thankfully RedMagic thought of this and users will love it.
There is not a lot to say. This is the phone to get if you are serious about gaming and want the most bang for the buck in a phone. I highly doubt that you can find specs and performance in this price range. The Red Magic 5G, other than being one of the most affordable 5G phones right now, it is also an amazing value for money. Beastly performance at a low price! You can buy the Red Magic 5G with no shipping charges from https://dimitrology.com/recommends/redmagic-5g/.
