No, this is the earlier version mi box model 16Z-AB. The latest version is Mi Box S model number 22Z-AB. The old one comes with android tv 6 and the new one comes with android tv 8.1 Here is one listing for the mibox s in lazada. https://www.lazada.com.my/products/xiaomi-i...wOb6t3&search=1

waa...so many concerns before decide to buy. tongue.gif
For me;
1. AOTG - SD channels does not show in full screen but it's not a big issue for me.
2. KODI - I only use few reliable addons (not keen to share...u need to do your own home work  blush.gif ) - works just fine for me  rclxms.gif
- I refer here for addons-->https://kodiapps.com/
*
of cz concern, jump here to Kodi thread & Android TV thread.

what i keen is Mi Box S.

Hi,  thanks for your suggestion, i had install the AOTG in my mibox S, open using the HAlauncher. however, the orientation is 90 degress rotated, any orientation app recommendation? also when i plug in mouse, is very hard to control also, as the mouse cannot move precisely. not sure if it is due to orientation. do you have any recomended air mouse which is get the movement smoothly?
*
plz install Set Orientation (side load)
