It's the 1GB version

hey bro, i've checked with seller and verified the product code stated on website and it confirms to be the 2GB(Enhanced version)

so its considered to be a good buy, no harm having more ram.

Happy new year to all!

Yup, based on the model shown in lazada, is 2gb ram.

Xiao Box Generation 3, 1GB or 2GB

Hi

Anyone has experience with new model?

saw a seller on Qoo10 show the latest model Gen 3 is 1gb Ram with CMA (Contiguous Memory Allocation),
I emailed Xiaomi and they said "Thank you for supporting Xiaomi!
Currently the 1GB Mi Box is available in our China website.
For your information, 2GB version is out of stock already.
If you interest to use the Mi Box in your house, 1GB is more suitable for you. "

Any thoughts? The 1 GB Ram enhanced edition "first edition of Mi Box supports CMA(Contiguous Memory Allocator). The system runs more smoothly by optimizing the allocation of memory."
What do you think of it?, CMA is cheaper but will it give problems if play games? Or opening too many apps?

So newer one is 1GB with CMA, earlier one has 2GB ram(no CMA)

Is 2GB enough to play games? if not maybe just get a dedicated console for games?

i got the 1gb,

no regrets.

pretty fast.
To start off, i can't really play much games on the tv.
if you want, just do it on your pc.

any bro here managed to get mibox gen3 to run Kodi/xbmc successfully? My installation kept crashing, and after restarting from a crash, the add-ons/settings reset, have to redo from scatch. My box is not rooted, could this be a reason?

But they are shipping the 1GB version

try this:

after the installation, go to xbmc setting page and set the level to expert, then go video-acceleration and uncheck all under hardware decode, or set to software decode.

yep it is.
it is also called the 4th gen by the Tabao seller.

I think most of us who ordered through Lazada received the model with 1GB RAM without ethernet port.

Yes, same as mine bro

bro, remember they send the wrong one to me,

till today, lazada is still responding with the seller (seller claims they only send out the 09-AA but mine is 06-AA)

super pissed and hope to get the correct box, lazada being middleman, hence slower

You should ask around.. if nobody received the correct model.. most likely is the seller trying to pass off the 1gb one instead.. dat's why I still prefer to buy from taobao or amazon..

Didn't someone posted Taobao seller claimed the 1GB is the latest 4th gen model?

This bro is not receiving the latest but the older 1GB model while the rest of us received the 1GB with wireless AC(no Ethernet port)

Your sound system no have mic input?

- The box audio out goes to sound system audio in.
- mic goes to sound system mic input.
