Amazon reviews are either 1 star or 5 stars.

"Fakespot rating = D
There are indications of unreliable/low quality reviews."

Gee, I wonder which ones are the fake reviews...

Terrible box considering it's specs. It will be very slow in operation with shit wifi connection. Just compare the specs with what's out there now for $5 more

Decent price. Ok box. 2GB on these,boxes,is more,than enough.

Not a rockchip fan so much. This chip doesnt not do HDR AFAIK. Probably wont matter to most.

DRM is widevine Level 1 so netflix may be limited to 720p.

Usual tips for all of these boxes apply.
1.Use ethernet when possible.

2.Use a 3rd party launcher like Nova that way all,your boxes can easily have the same look and basic navigation.

3.Get an air mouse to maximize use.

4.If you you dont want to do any tinkering/trouble shooting, spend more for something else.

5.You may get lucky to get some firmware updates (for stability, speed, etc) but its not guarenteed. You will NEVER get an OS update.

Thumbs up,for price,but there are similar boxes with newer OS and AMLogic chips...

At least 3gb ram. Look for wifi 2.4 and 5 ghz bgn and ac. Bluetooth 4.0. Rockchip 3328 processor minimum. There's plenty like that on urlhasbeenblocked for like $35. Could probably find them on ebay too. If u get android 7.0, u can use USB 3.0 on it if you need that.

2GB should be just fine. This box is better. Currently its $7 more but i has been on sale for $29.99 in the past.

I'm at work right now, can't really search around but try alibaba or ebay if they no longer exist on urlhasbeenblocked. They often come on sale

Rockchip 3399 is awesome but very overpriced.

I have an old MXR Pro 4K box laying around, has Rockchip RK3229, 2GB RAM + 8GB storage but it has some stupid old partition scheme of 1GB for apps and the rest for storage so the amount install-able apps is limited or virtually non-existent. Does this newer boxes have the same limitations?
Recently tried LibreELEC on my Pi 3 but it's a bit slow and cumbersome to setup, also no Android apps.

Appreciate the info, but with Android, I feel like you need a minimum of 3GB nowadays.
