Few Minix U9 questions, and where do I actually buy it?

Hey guys, new to the forum so hello there! I was wondering where to buy a Minix U9. I am from Europe.

There are multiple shops on Aliexpress that sellit, but I don't know which is the official one, or do I use Gearbest instead?

Another thing, I saw some youtube reviews and heard people that the A3 remote control had a bad microphone, and I think I saw some posts here that were recommending the older (A2) edition over the new one, is this correct, should I opt for the A2 remote control? Or should I just look for something else that might be better in the market?

Lastly, I see that the Amlogic S912 is nearly 2 years old now, so when is the next iteration going to take place?

Thank you in advance.

S905X2 and S905D2 devices are already in production. I'd expect to see S922 devices start appearing in Q3.

chewitt, Not sure if you are talking about Minix, how fast are they with releasing new devices?

The newer MINIX A3 lite remote has annoying Wake from Sleep issues. There are no such issues with the older A2 lite remote:

wrxtasy, so that is the only negative thing about it over the A2 lite?

I've never spoken to anyone from Minix and I have zero knowledge of their roadmap. I have visibility of others' roadmaps though..
