White box blocked from installing anything that was why I was hoping to get the hybrid plus box
I know a few complained about Mi Stick getting overheated and laggy fast
But Mi Box S also not ok?
too old, lacks AV1 codec support
but you can consider the xiaomi stick 4K (yes only 4K version) due to dolby support

any good box support netflix 4k, android 11/12, budget price, can expand storage, and has sufficient ram?

nope, it is very complex, netfix and dolby certification costs money and require some sort of background check and sufficient volume
you can consider Realme 4k stick or mecool KD3, but expansion is via OTG adapter
mecool does not provide updates via OTA, so KM2 stuck at android 10 forever, but still a viable option for expandability
