I have been diligently reading the whole thread. First and foremost, a big thank you to AVFAN, SCTong and password8341 for the valuable information posted.

I contacted the recommended Tx3 mini seller in Shopee regarding the recent Android 8 upgrade without Root Setting. I felt compelled to join Lowyat and post the information I obtained from the seller.

The seller was very frank and truthful about the whole issue of Tx3 mini being upgraded from Android 7 to 8.
The seller even told me what are their plans in the coming future, even though they don't have to tell me anything. No wonder the customers' rating are so high for this seller. I am looking forward to my first purchase from the seller.
