The xiaomi mi box 3 enhanced, is, as you're saying a completely different box, however very good one, especially for kodi. It's not developed for the western world, but there are guides online how to configure it, and how to change the ui to English. I have both the boxes, and both are great. I don't wanna post any links to other sites in here, but it's easy to find. The ui is however not Android TV, and it's not possible to change this, or to completely get rid of all Chinese apps. Sometimes I wish xiaomi should have used this hardware for the USA market instead, since it's more powerful and really beautiful, compared to the present black box.

Yes, it's this box. Beware of the Chinese version, without Android TV, which looks the same. There's also a white box, which is called mi box 3 enhanced, or pro, which also isn't with Android TV either.

What is the difference between the kodi version and SPMC?
What would you recommend to install?
I want to install an SD card
With 32gb would be enough for kodi and some game for children?

I recommend spmc from my understanding if is designed by loving just for Android boxes like this .... As far as the SD card USB stick I couldnt use over 4gb when installing Android apps... unless you only use emulators in which the Roms take up the space... I personally think 32 would be over kill maybe someone else can tell you better way to get more Android apps on the USB stick to better use the 32gb.

Thanks for the clarification
My idea is to buy an external hdd "wd my elements desktop" 3-4 Tb. And an SD for local storage.

The mi box 4k America version which is official Android tv does not have a SD slot only 1 USB slot... And as previously stated unless some knows something more you will not be about to utilize that much storeage because with each app part stays in the box no matter where it stored... Thus u will fill the mi box internal storage up fast with Android apps.

Definitely the US version. Walmart shops have them. The chinese is nevertheless found in chinese webshops only.
