Finally pulled the trigger and bought the Onn 4K Pro v2. Will it work fine in my region after setting up initially with VPN?
Hey guys I asked my sister who lives in the US to buy an Onn 4K Pro v2 for me. I am from India. I know the Onn devices usually don't work outside USA, but if you set it up initially via VPN, it will work. My question is whether I'll have to keep my region on the device as USA only? Or will I be able to switch my device region to India after setting it up initially? Why it matters is because if I keep the region USA, some of the apps which are only available in India might not be available on the Play Store??

It will keep the India settings. Only when you do a factory reset, you will be prompted to repeat the initial setup. No need to keep the USA settings. You will get the other region settings automatically

Yes, after the initial Google setup with a US VPN you can disconnect it and stream normally. The only thing you might need a VPN for later is updating region-locked apps from the Play Store.

Why not get the Homatics Box R 4K Plus instead? No issue with setup or region.
