You won't get good support from budget devices, the android builds are generally stable and they work well for general apps from play store etc , I'm talking about s905 and android lollipop here not devices on android 6. Kodi features like audio pass through, fractional frame rate, dynamic frame rate switching are generally broken .

For kodi features Libre Elec is the way to go, the cheap devices allow you to get a good hardware spec at a low cost which is a base to get a good libre Elec kodi experience. These are not devices for people who want everything working out of the box and are not willing to do a bit of reading on forums etc.

Xiaomi mi box is an interesting product but just take a look at the xiaomi forums their software support on their android phones, and other devices is terrible. Bugs that havent been fixed for over 7 months on some phones. Xiaomi make good hardware but software support us not good. Hopefully Google help them out with software... That's the only way the mi box will get good support.
