Stick with Official Malaysia edition (3S) and not the unlocked edition. Unlocked is not required at all.

If you unlocked (root), the box will be permanent lost the capability to play Netflix in Full HD and 4K because Netflix won't certified root device and not certified device will be cap in 480p resolution only for Netflix.

MiBox 4 is specific design for China market now without Play Store and no Netflix certified.

MiBox 4 spec is very similar to 3s but running Mi TV OS instead of Android TV OS.

https://www.androidpolice.com/2018/01/28/xi...g-february-1st/

"Mi Box 4 uses an Amlogic S905L chipset, which lacks hardware decoding support for VP9. The international Mi Box uses the Amlogic S905X-H, which supports the royalty-free codec used primarily by YouTube."

They is no single benefits getting Mi Box 4 at all.

Thanks for the info, how to know if the 3S i'm getting is official malaysia edition? coz im going get it from lelong.

I dont have a netflix subscription, so if i don't plan to watch netflix should i get the unlocked version? Is this the only thing(res cap for netflix) i should worry about for getting unlocked version?

should i top up abit and get the 3S enhanced? which is the white version.

Guys, just got my mibox 3s enhanced, when i tried to test play HK/other drama(1080p/720p) through Kodi it's very choppy, it's stuttering like frames drop. I'm sure it's not about my the buffer because i have 30mb unifi. When there are Kodi UI elements overlay on the screen while a movie is playing, the playback is smooth though. Videos in youtube/terrarium is fine at the moment

Anyone knows what happen?

i own a 55" sony TV by the way

Seems like something not right in your Mibox 3s enhance edition.

I don't have any mentioned issue in my Mi Box Malaysia edition and I running the box at 4k60hz resolution.

anyone knows how to fix this issue?

whenever im watching kodi or RSS chinese ads like these will pop up and i had to click "back" button everytime which is very annoying. I'm thinking these are the ads from the Mibox itself.

im using MiBox 3C

my other MiBox 3S Enhanced not facing this issue though

i never update it, i think it's the ads from mibox itself, not the app.
