Hi,
I was looking into getting an android tv box , just to watch media content and was looking at the ones with (from what i gathered) new chip from amlog, the s905x.
Im considering the sunvell t95x 1GB ram or the the mini m8s 1gb ram. There is a tiny bit difference price, but it isn't much.
Im just wondering, which one would be a better choice? Or are they pretty much the same? My main concern is community support and which one is better suported/has larger community because i do value that and i doubt we get more (or better) support from manufactures then we do from the community like we have here.
Thanks
I need help as confused with which one to buy, my budget is 50 to 70 dollars,
Requirement is mainly channels viewing (no games required) especially sports channels.

Oh such a nice response,,,,,
Maybe because it is next to impossible to find an Android TV for this price, at least new...

On AliExpress there are many with thousands of buyers, I'll share some links,,,?
Feel free to do so as I still fail to find a good Android TV for under 100 bucks.

Both of the above around 70 dollars each
Ahh, now we see the difference
You ask for an ANDROID TV but in fact you are looking for an Android TV BOX - big difference!
In case I got this right:
IMHO there is little to no difference between the various boxes.
Comes down to what the firmware can provide as the hardware is next to identical.
Sure, a new DDR4 box will load much faster and might be a better choise for gaming...
But for watching videos it matters more what TV you have and what you do with it.
For 4K content and DRM stuff you should check first if the box really supports it.
4K in Youtube and Netflix usually only works if Android TV is installed but won't always work in 4k on a normal box.
And of course if you need Bluetooth (game controller, phone pairing...) then you should look for those having BT4 and dual WiFi.
I have the X96 that I only got because I saw little support for it and wanted to try some modding on my own.
Quite happy with it but it has no BT.
Got the Yundoo Y8 a few days ago and although it is fast and has BT I am not really impressed by it.
There is no DRM support that is worth to mention, not even Widewine.
3D gaming performance is, for what I can see, neither better nor much faster than on the S905X.
I suggest to check what you really need in hardware, then check which boxes in that field are supported by the modding community.
Beelink, Mecool, VIM, just to name a few.
Android Nougat is overrated IMHO too.
So far no manufacturer produced a Marshmallow rom that had no annoying flaws, even if it is just the messed up keyboard support.
Android7 brings more problems for the modding and so far only half cooked solutions are hitting the market
Unless you love to tinker with firmware a lot I suggest to stick to Android6 for now.
Beelink GT1 Ultimate !!!
Just ordered to my nephew from AliExpress. The Price is below 60$ and the Beelink firm is well known.
It has 3G RAM and Memory of 32G. The processor is Amlogic S912 Octa Core CPU DDR4. In other words it's a beast for that price.
Enjoy,

I'm looking to buy a new Android TV Box and I'm just wondering which it's best to go with. I had an s905x X96 box a couple of months back and it performed well but lacked bluetooth and had a 100m LAN port and 2.4Ghz Wi-Fi. I'm looking for one with dual band Wi-Fi and a 1000m LAN port and might aswell have bluetooth so I have all the features. I was looking at an RK3368 based device on amazon but I think s905x and s912 seem to have the best firmware support so would it be worth my while getting another s905x or is the s912 much better since they have octa-core?
Thanks.
S912 is the future. S905x is now.

What about Beelink GT1 Ultimate?
It comes with s912 and with decent price. Did you check this one? :good:
hello.is this thread active?
Hello everyone.
I have a BEELINK GT1 ULTIMATE TV box based on the amlogic s912 chipset, and I've been using superceleron's android TV ROM for a couple of years. Lately the TV box is a bit slow, so I thought to upgrade to a newer ROM.
Which ROM is recommended as of today, especially in terms of speed and stability?
I'm looking only for Android TV ROMs.
Thanks in advance!!
I found this video, it might help:
I recently purchased a MXQ 4K Pro 5G Tv Box with lying specifications. Android 10.1 is actually the 7.1, 64GB of storage that real is 4GB. I would like to know if there is any custom Rom based on Oreo and Rooted for this PCB. Your Wifi Chip is the SV6256P. Unfortunately I only found it for Rockchip and alesses are not for me. The performance of this Android on this Tv Box sucks.
if you want a box that can have custom roms buy a box with an AMLogic SoC (preferably on android 9). go take a look in that forum and despair... we all bought the wrong boxes if we want that kind of stuff. they have everything we don't. on the plus side they're fairly cheap..
in relation to your question, it's not likely. if the total memory is accurate at 4GB there's virtually nothing left for the user/media storage. there's virtually nothing out there for allwinner chips never mind ones being sold with fraudulent specifications.
