Ofcoz not a seller, just did a quick search and found it is back.
I dont own X92 but I saw a thread here for x92 and aotg running on it afters flashing.
Performance I do feel s912 is a slight better on speed and better support video codec (due minix limit - running A6.0) but the rest have to goto minix neo u1. Overall minix is fairly stable, configure to use more cursor button than mouse, better audio passthrough (i dun use) and importantly it is mostly working without need of tweak or upgrade.
For me it is more about pricing, Minix is 2X the cost
for the similar spec. Unless they got really good offer like previous rm2XX. Lucky for me to get one for my parent.
Sorry, I look for seller rating more than product rating.
I put here for consideration as I aware few of X92 users in here is happy with it after flashing mk22 firmware or SMDE something V20 firmware.

Cheers.

good seller rating doesn't mean every product sold by seller is of good quality

anyways...suit yourself ok as long as you are happy

Since I own 3 different OS Video Streaming devices. Just like share this 3 devices capability in common application support. smile.gif

Some apps required sideload.

Movies iTunes Play in others device only applicable for US iTunes account on selected participant movie company in Movies Anywhere.

In summary, they is no perfect video streaming devices. smile.gif

Late in joining the tv box experience and just got a Mi Box S for my parents not long ago. In summary, pretty laggy and wifi connection is pretty moderate.

But this first box has made me interested in getting 1 for myself, may not be Xiaomi. That's why I'd like the feedback from the community here.

I've friends telling me about EVPAD. And I've had friends who tell me about MiniX.

EVPAD 3 max vs MiniX u9-h - what's the difference? and, which is better?

My primary use will be own movies and apps such as iflix, netflix, also probably in future; Hao / myiptv (I don't really watch much tv tongue.gif)

mibox S is laggy ? hmm.gif

i bought 2 units...so far no such issue

been using it for netflix 4k hdr and kodi with latest firmware

what ur mbps speed? unifi?

500Mbps...but that won't affect the laggy-ness i suppose

QUOTE(etsuko @ May 28 2019, 09:11 PM)
Besides Netflix and Kodi, do you have anything else in the box?

I'm guessing mine may not be as snappy as your units since it came with a few other things.

tea tv, titanium tv, morph tv, Acestream etc

Hi android box/ other tv box/dongle sifus, would like some opinions on which to choose, Im new to this area of home entertainment since my bro-in-law used to do it but i have a non-smart tv (FHD only) that is currently connected to unifi box laying around and would love to use it.

My main usage/priority includes : netflix, youtube, good ui support and updates, possibly phone mirroring, ease of use

From what I've been reading: big brands are recommended cause they have dedicated ui and support, so im leaning towards those. Hence, I've narrowed it to few choices listed below.

1. Xiaomi Mi Box S - at the top because it has good reviews from shopee, also chromecast built-in. however, would like to put it here since im dont really trust the review
2. Roku Express - hd and wifi supported like the other, also cheaper than mibox
3. Roku Streaming Stick + - an uprade from the express since using dual band so im using better connection although im not sure if justifies the upgrade cost since 4K is not even supported for my tv
4. Chromecast - cheapest but it seems I can like only mirror certain apps from my phone which will also drain my battery at the same time?

I'm not into those boxes that is either pirated/jailbreak/root or requires in-store update, i would rather have a dedicated one that i can learn and update on my own just like how u normally update your devices. Hardware wise, i would assume they would be able to support my usage.

I know that the shield is more recommended but since im using this for basic purposes, the expenditure does not justify the cost ( max budget : under rm350) . Any feedback, comment or even suggestion of any other box that is easy to configure as well as learn is deeply appreciated since my choices are more towards bigger, mainstream brands since i was thinking of reliability.

Thank you
