i wonder is it still worth purchasing from Gearbest in USD currency when our ringgit is falling.

Beelink Mini MXIII II just arrived. Ordered on the 10Nov.
This is fast delivery. Can't wait to test 2nite.
Sorry for the double post.

remember to share your experience with us.. wanted to know if it has the same issue as the GT1

This one beats em all...Himedia H7 4th Generation

welcome to the thread.

almost everyday, someone will pose the same question.

yr questions and quest will mark the beginning of a long journey!

it will be nice to able to answer u in a few sentences but no, it will take pages.

i would say some users here started 4-5 years ago, so, it's going to a bit of work and time for u if u really want it.

but here's what i can do - a few thoughts and some links for u to read so that u have a better idea, then come back and get to the specifics and details.

.. Aztro is aztro, there is no "replacement"; there are ALTERNATIVES. (i do not talk illegit/illegal stuff.)

.. android boxes typically do everything an old media player will do and LOTS more, i.e. playback, live streaming, networking, etc.

.. these boxes need updates, upgrades, new firmwares, new apps regularly, i.e. they are not "auto" push button type but need yr time, knowledge and effort to keep it working. u can buy a box with many things preinstalled but will still need yr effort over time as no one will come to "service" the box. so, it's very much DIY by searching, reading, watching you-tube demos, experimenting.

.. videos are streamed via installed APPS, sometimes called APK's. some are better than others; some are small and simple, some are big and complex; some stay good for a long time, some die within days, need new.

.. 30mbps is good, good enough for most streaming purposes.

.. popular english tv series and movies, mandarin shows are easy to get, even in HD; eng live tv channels incl sports in SD easy, HD very hard. and i mean free ones, not paid iptv.

.. u DL stuff.. what quality r u used to? if SD, the alternatives available will be very acceptable to u; if u r used to 1080p with DD/DTS/HD audio, that's a bit more challenging to get with online streaming.

.. there are like 100 brands each with 10 models to choose from; can buy online, at shops, IT centers, from LYN sellers, etc. diff in price is mainly due to chipset, android version, memory size, video and audio handling capabilities, networking capabilities.

wew thats a lot to read

i tot if its just an android, so this is applicable to my android phone. but i failed to set it up. or am i doing it wrong?

Yo guys,

Samsung Tizen OS sucks! That said, anyone can recommend a nice android box for below rm300? preferably able to play 4k, Kodi. Thanks! Never heard of the brands so not really sure about reliable they are. Thanks!

lol i think u and I are in exactly the same situation roaming around in the same discussion. I also just got a KU6000 and got annoyed with the tizen. now looking at an android box as well ... haiz

What a coincidence! I have a KU6000 too. Don't tell me you have the 50 inch as well? lol
There are quite a number of brands but most of them are all china brands that I never heard of. I'm not really sure how reputable they are and I don't want to spend too much on it either.

Hope people can help us

As been mentioned many time, just read thru the last couple of pages...there are so much info on various brands.

In short, my personal experience, I liked this 3 boxes, Himedia Q5, Himedia Q10, Z4 TV Box (OEM box - you could check it at lelong.com)

They already did ... there's a bunch of info.
Now help yourself by reading all of them and don't expect to be spoon fed like a baby. Kindof tired reading such posts every few posts, a baby will appear. Sigh ...!

Appreciate this man! Complete noob about Android TV and what brand to choose from. These recommendation will help us noobs narrow down our choices. I just don't have the luxury to back read plus the brands are unheard of.

Appreciate the advice but the "baby" comment is unnecessary.

hi guys.. reading through the forum i can conclude that most chinese android box from nexbox, beelink, sunvell doesnt support AOTG. The cheapest box that can support AOTG i guess should be MINIX ? (having MINIX NEO U1 in mind). Another question is how is the picture quality of AOTG when it is projected on large TV (since it is actually designed for tablets and mobile devices)

was it the mi box?

features? pictures? and functionality?

Nexbox A5
S905x
Android 6.0
2gb Ram
16gb Rom

Same function like most android boxes. Different name only lol

So what... You think we have the luxury of simply answering to your every whim about android boxes, particularly when its all just a simple search away or heck, just a page behind... User AVFAN as recent as 2 days ago... graciously typed out a long post, summarizing core info and you do not have the luxury of reading it...?    In case you are unaware, this is a FORUM... Defined as :- Nowhere in the above definition does it say its a place that acts as a customer service center. You want people at your beck and call? Stick to customer service centers belonging to the likes of Samsung, TM and or Astro.. Jeez!
Sorry to burst your bubble... How about you do yourself and others a favor...act like an adult and at least read some info that has already been put up..After which, if you have particular questions or comments, the community would be more than willing to contribute.. Example? See below.. You can clearly see that zzzhhhzzz did some reading. Notice my response.

I was just wondering that other brands are being shipped from overseas while Himedia doesn't. Question is, is Himedia manufactured locally? It seems to be one of the few Android boxes that aren't imported from China. I was just thinking about local warranty and support.
