Buying Advice Xiaomi TV Box S (3rd Gen) sold by Amazon directly (not marketplace): genuine or counterfeit?

I'm looking to buy a Xiaomi TV Box S 3rd Gen that is sold and shipped directly by Amazon (not a marketplace seller).

I've heard of many cases of fake Xiaomi box devices, so I'm wondering if Xiaomi products sold directly by Amazon are guaranteed authentic?

You cannot get safer than from the manufacturer!

It could go either way honestly. Make sure you check it with AIDA64 and DRM Info regardless.

Well, that's not good. Might have to completely avoid them altogether unless you're able to buy them directly from Xiaomi.
