Here is the top seller on aliexpress, go for it!!
photo of back of actual device confirms mdz-16-ab
why you don't use internet to buy the good version? o_O
I bought this one and it works perfect. A lot of languages to choose from, including English.
NO!!! NO!!! NO!!!
The only model that is suitable for general use is the model designated MDZ-16-AB that uses official AndroidTV. There are at least 6 look-alike versions so don't rely on pictures.
Legit sources are readily available, even from China based sources.
Search carefully and you can buy it at market price with free shipping for ~$US70.
I have long experience modding and rehabilitating various Chinese market Xiaomi boxes that lack Western sensibilities.
With more recent models the task of gaining useability outside PRC has become ever more daunting. It is not so simple as hitting a few buttons, removing a few files and getting western language support.
The embedded O/S is designed with inimical security issues and traps that cannot be overcome.
Leave Chinese Xiaomi boxes to the Chinese!!!!!
