Some time ago we were left with the news of an update (beta) for Xiaomi Mi Box 3. It was one of the first updates they carried Android 9.0 Pie on the most famous of Android TV Box. After a period of silence, however, here is the news: the update for the Stable branch is in rollout and therefore all users who until now were waiting for the update, in the next hours, they will receive the package. The first to receive it, according to reports, are the Indians and succeeded. This does not mean that Europeans will not receive it, on the contrary. All it takes is a little patience.

- fixed the problem with the automatic language change of the system.

What would be the difference between this TV box and TV Sticks?
In the functionalities no difference substantially. TV Sticks are just more comfortable and take up less space.
