apparently the price for Mi Box S has increased from 70-ish to 80++ now, it is a good box though...

most of the android boxes are using normal android os, especially those super cheaaap versions.Hello sexperts, is there a box or tablet(without built in battery) that run the normal android OS(found in hp and tablets)?
Thought these boxes use android TV?most of the android boxes are using normal android os, especially those super cheaaap versions.
No, only the better ones use Google certified Android TV OS, like Mi Box S, Nvidia Shield TV, Minix NEO T5 (not Netflix certified), etc.Thought these boxes use android TV?
What is your budget and requirement? And why do you need phone version of Android TV box? In most cases, official Android TV OS is better for TV boxes.May I know which are the recommended or best that uses phone version of Android OS?
if i wish to get more RAM (at least 4GB) and more ROM (16GB) because my son would always download lots of games to play, then what would be your recommendations pls? I don't really need netflix but I do wish to watch chinese/korean drama as well as live stream sport events pls.What is your budget and requirement?

If you really want that option, you can conside things like Amazon FireTV Cube 2019 (if you need Netflix certification), Minix NEO U22-XJ, Beelink GT-King, or cheaper S905X3 boxes (not many good brands now).
Recommeded boxes: Mi Box S, Google Chrome Cast 2020, Nvidia Shield TV and Mecool KM2 (all of them runs official Google Android TV OS, and all are certified by Netflix). If not required Netflix, you can consider Minix NEO T5 and Mecool KM1. They are also running certified Google Android TV OS, but no Netflix certification.

Budget wise, let's say below $120 or there about? Yup, would prefer android TV OS.
Thanks in adv
Ok. Thanks a lot for the advice. Much appreciated.If you need to play more demanding games than the S905X4 CPU can handle, then S922X based box is needed. It will be above your budget.
For example, Beelink GT-King is a popular S922X based box with 4GB RAM and 64GB Storage.

None of them will beat Nvidia Shield TV Pro 2019 for Android gaming among all the Android TV boxes.

Hi guys,
Newbie here.
I am considering XiaoMi MiBox S and wondering if it comes with live streaming apps or do I have to search for the apps and download it myself?
I am cancelling the cable TV and hence was planning to get live streaming from the android box instead.
Appreciate your replies.
Only got built-in streaming apps like Netflix, Amazon prime video, Hulu etc. Also has Disney plus which can be downloaded from the play store. Live streaming can download mewatch for the local channels
install apktime. you can then install iptv apps from apktime. most of them have the news channels you mentioned.any good news app for android tv boxes?
News app (i..e bloomberg, cbs, cnn, cna, etc etc)
