Why 1 GB RAM?? And Bluetooth 4.0?? No WiFi ac?? And then the obviously wrong 720p/1080p/4K comparison.... Really doesn't give a good impression of whoever is trying to sell this....

---

I'm watching these products closely because I want a new streaming box WITH 10 bit H.265. All the articles I've seen speak the same language. AMLogic has built a chip (S905), and (so it seems) a circuit board containing everything else. Then the Asian manufacturers buy the board and design a case around it. Labelling is as customer requires. This means, everything you see has the same logic board and almost identical specs. Just a different sticker.
So you usually get : S905 CPU, Mali 450 GPU, 1GB memory, 8GB of storage, HDMI2.0, HDCP 2.2, SPDIF, B/G/N wireless, 100Mbit LAN, AV port, 4 USB ports
Now some more specs : http://www.roofull.com/mrx-64bit-amlogic-s905-android-5-1-tv-box.html
There it says 100Mbit LAN instead of 1Gbit. 2.4GHz WLAN only when it says dual band in the picture, and second hand NAND flash? This one is a joke.
What really matters is this :
IP License (Optional)
Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus
DTS Digital Surround, DTS HD, DTS Express
Real, DivX HD
If you buy the cheap box, you might not get a licence for those.
