No problem bro...

I went through one review of beelink gt1 ultimate android 7 where he told the picture quality is bit on darker side compared to others. So later on started fresh search & came across chigztech reviews & according to his charts beelink gt1 ultimate stands nowhere.
See here..

I have almost shortlisted h96pro plus 3gb 32gb Android 7.1 from AliExpress via AliExpress standard free shipping@ just short of 5k but worried about customs duty. On gearbest and banggood it's costly.

Since last few weeks I am busy with work and also in shortlisting some open box offers of av receiver and bookshelf or floor standing speakers.

Will be getting it as soon I finalize my first proper AV set up.

Is it same as M8S Pro L version or is it the replacement of Mi TV Box 3 ?

This is 905x which is direct competition with Mi TV Box 3 if it supports all DRM stuff

Experienced members, please share your opinion.

Just placed an order for Mi Box 3 on aliexpress.. Estimated delivery times are being shown as 18~28 days..
Will it really take that long?
Also anyone from bangalore have any experience with ordering something similar? were there customs charges on it?

I recently bought Mi Box 3 from Aliexpress from this store but now they remove the product from their listing - no custom no hassle, product arrive nicely.

Below is the proof

Does Mi Box receive updates in India ? Did you bought the English / International version ? Does the stores specify it ?

Yes, Mi Box receives the update in India - Immediately got update notification Andriod 8 but I kept continue Android 7 Android 6 out-of-the-box version couple of days...then update it.
Yes, This is the English / International / Global Version.
Yes, seller/stores clearly specify in their listing.

I bought this one - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Fre...438.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.33b54c4dXQRBV6
It says global version so I guess it should be English.
Regarding updates, I have been doing some googling about it and it seems like they have just released the android 8 update for it. But there are multiple reports of it making the device slower and buggier.
Hence I plan to stick with the android 6 which I hope comes in the box.
Later when they release a stable patch, I will upgrade.
