If you have a 4K Android resolution setting change it back to 1080p60Hz before using Kodi.
Kodi has known poor upscaling. Bilinear I believe. Plus your 4K TV will have far better upscaling algorithms than Android media players.
The limitation with any Android media player is there is no App Auto Resolution switching from 1080p > 2160p.
Media players running LibreELEC Kodi do not have this limitation, its all automatic and seamless.
Kodi runs smoother, with less bugs and limitations on LibreELEC than Android media players.
Ideally you want to run Kodi at 1080p60Hz and then only change to a 4K resolution when playing back 4K content.
You are not giving us enough detail of your actually setup. I too see a soft Kodi picture with the Mi Box if I use a 4K Android resolution setting. Use 1080p60Hz instead.
