Hi and welcome . If you will receive your U9H test first with the default firmware (i think it must have marshmallow).Hi,
New to the forum/minix and half-new to android units. Will receive my Neo U9-H this week, what are the benefits of upgrading to Nougat? I usually always go for the latest, even if Beta, but that is when I know why. I know there was a similar question above but since I haven't done anything yet, I might as well do the upgrade right away before doing the setup?
Some benefits of upgrade are:
-some apps might need a recent firmware and if that is the case you already have.
Example : kodi v.17 (or later) requires android devices run at least android 5.0 (minimum api level 21).
-some apps or the system itself might work better for you (more stable and faster)
-bugs fixed and security increased
ETC, etc....
But i think you must first try default ROM and later if you really need/want then upgrade.
You can always do the inverse - downgrade.
Some user like android 7.1.2 (i am one of them) and others prefer android 6.0.
It depends but if you try later you can have a better idea and if it works better for you.
Here is the upgrade link:
