That is still a very good box until today.

HiMedia does not seem to have the updated line up of 4k media player international version yet after the 2016 launch of the Q10 Pro.

On the other hand, they have new product for the Chinese market (no Google Play).

Zidoo has more up to date lineup for the international market.

I like that himedia can attach a harddisk inside the box but they still android 7 and only 16gb internal nia

what's wrong with andorid 7 and why need more than 16GB?

what features of android 8,9,10,11 are good for TV box compared to android 7?

Any decent android tv box to recommend? Never use android tv box before.

Please refer to my previous post (a few pages before).

No change of my recommendations.

Mi Box S is still the best sub S$100 Android TV box in Singapore.

Mvidia Shield TV non-Pro (for streaming) and Pro (for streaming plus gaming) are the best boxes money can buy if you are okay with the high cost.

Amazon FireTV Stick 4K and FireTV Cube 2.0 are also good boxes but they are not as good in Singapore compared to in US.

If you do not need Netflix, then boxes like Mecool KM1 (Google certified Android TV OS, but not Netflix certified) can also be considered.

mango tv need box to sub? or can dl apk only?

No need box.

Take note what you get from the Play Store is the international version. Not so sure if subscription is easy or not with a Singapore mobile number. I remember Singapore number is not supported last time I checked.

WeTV (international version of Tencent Video) and iQiyi International version support Singapore mobile phone number. Youku supports Singapore number as well.

Edit to add: Singapore phone number is not supported by Mango TV international version, only mainland China, Taiwan, HK and Macau phone numbers are supported.
