May I know what's the pros and cons between Beelink Mini MXIII and Mini M8S II?

From the product details I can see that Mini M8S II has a slightly newer processor and from youtube reviews Mini M8S does have a better looking home screen than the Beelink.
*
Beelink miniMXIII have 2gb ram and 16gb rom whereas m8sII have 2gb ram and 8gb rom.

M8sII have the newer S905X chip and Android 6.0... MiniMXIII is using S905 and Android 5.0...

Pls read up page 109 onwards for the box, it's a good box for beginner.

Only thing weak and this after testing this morning it's the WiFi, but if connected to LAN cable then it's all good and smooth

Will be selling off as it my current Q16 is connected via WiFi and it's doing great
*
I saw some review videos that the wifi is not that great... But I'll test mine later...

Maybe bcos my router is upstairs while this is placed at living hall downstairs.

However, realised the picture quality is better than current unit while it load the movie much faster incl skipping if need to
*
Testing Kodi now and it seems fine on wifi... My router is the next room... Less than 20 feet away... Luckily I can use cable at my parents as the router is near the TV...

I think this box's wifi should be better

Its not the device but the youtube version.

The one in kodi and a standalone one meant for generic devices can do up to 720p only.

There is another version specifically for androids that can do up to 1080p.

There one more version for uhd4k tvs that do up to 2160p.

For the same video, if it comes in 1080p or 2160p quality.

No wonder mine only can watch 720p only

Saw there is pre-order in gearbest for new Android TV Box running on new Amlogic S912... Both running Android 6.0 with 2GB ROM and 16GB ROM. 2.4G + 5G Dual Band WiFi...

The Nexbox A1 at US$85.72 (RM343+-)...

The other is Beelink GT1 at US$79.19 (RM317+-) which is waiting for arrival notice...

Considering either of this to upgrade from my Beelink MiniMXIII... Hopefully can get cheaper in sale... laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif

Found a few more in Aliexpress also...

Sifus,

buying the android box fr gearbest, the item is sent fr overseas right ? (like china, taiwan, thailand)
any issues with custom ?
thx
*
Didn't encounter anything with customs with all my orders with gearbest, aliexpress, ebay or banggood...

If you got ordered more than US40 with gearbest, request them to use Kerry Express for your order... They are the fastest from China to Malaysia... Less than 2 weeks compared to Nordic Post or Singpost which takes 4 weeks or more...

Yup no problem here too.

Thought Kerry Express is std?

Free shipping they will use any of their partners... That's why those orders US440 and above can request which to use...

My colleague ordered 2 units Mele F10 Deluxe and it was sent using Nordic Post... Took 4 weeks to arrive...
