Replacing fake Xiaomi

Hi all,

So i went ahead and bought a Xiaomi 3rd gen 4k from a store through a delivery app in my country.

And after a week of dealing with stuttering and apps being slow (Stremio and Kodi).

A kind redditor r/noscakes told me to download AIDA and check the listed specs against the official ones, and sure enough it turned out to be a fake (running an Allwinner soc).

I am in the process of returning/refunding it, should i still try and find a geniune Xiaomi 3rd gen or should i get something else (within the same price point or just a bit more expensive).

Currently just running Stremio/Kodi on a dumb old tv, but wouldnt hurt if i could get something better.

P.S: keep in mind the choices in my country are slim.
