"watching movies" can mean usb playback, simple movie apps or torrent based apps/addons.

generally speaking, 1/8gb is never as good as 2/16gb.

unless u r talking about just a few simple non demanding apps and that will not change.

From the specs n reviews, the x6pro is a premium box, good for many things.
Kodi also become very large, need a lot of memory n storage, depends on what u put in to get what u want.
Performance can mean many things... speed, ease of navigation, need to clean up, room for future...

I would not encourage u to take x1 unless, like i already said, u r sure u will only use light stuff forever.
However, if the price diff is really huge, a cheap box can serve to be a learning tool.
But u must not regret having to buy another one in the future!

Picture "quality" is determined by the file, box settings tv settings, and avr if u r using one via hdmi.

For same file, it will be about the box and tv settings.

I assume u r using a 4k hdr tv.

Q10pro... besides the parameter control, try the android settings, advanced settings, play with the sampling type. I find 4:2:0 10 bit to give the deepest colors for playback.

Also, check from time to time the video setting... when u go to kodi or other apps, it will adjust to 1080i 60hz or 1080p 50hz. For playback, set it to 2160p 60hz.... this, i find is best... for any file playback with native player.

this is a decent price.

did u buy it yet?

if u did, would be good if u can give a short review, incl...

.. picture output quality, colors..
.. what audio output.. dd, dts. dtshdma, ddtruehd..
.. how well it plays kodi 17..
.. wifi performance..
.. does it get hot..
.. anything u think impt for others to know..

will be good for other box buyers.

All kambings died... again...

ya, goats for bbq, fox for stew, rice for frying.

only the wind survives.

this one good ar?

if this one what i think it is, it's another one of those HDP's.
this one very china, much less others.
also, some versions or variations hijack the launcher.

the winds blows, stops, blow again... sometimes strong, sometimes very weak.
yup, there are all coming from the same master(s).

all of that... just watch what is on, no fret...

interesting to note this pair of remotes look so much like the MELE F10.

only that the Mele F10 is 2-in-1, i.e. airmouse and remote are in one device, 2 sides, RM80.

what is the indicative price of this Rii "pair"?

if u r used to a mouse, a wireless mouse with a scroller is most useful and cost effective for an android box.

take note that depending on the app in use, sometimes u need a mouse to navigate, sometimes u need the remote - becos most apps are built for touchscreen mobile devices.

mouse combined with the remote control, they will be able to do everything.

that logitech mouse is fine.

made in china boxes meant for china market will have only chinese.

made in china boxes meant for export market will have either dual eng/chinese or just english.

just check before u buy.

i am surprised.

pls do more tests... try ethernet.

kodi 17 can be tough for some devices, maybe try 16.1.

anyone still using popcorntime?

i stopped using it when kodi quasar became a better option.

there are many popcorn forks, many versions for various devices.

the new popcorns... (pls dun ask me where to get, google please.. )

new look, better structured, easier navigation.

but choice of video links now very limited.

the android 4.x version allows u to use diff players available in yr box, e.g. native player, kodi player, even yr smart tv player.

if correct player used, the DD videos will give DD audio.

there is also a version for androidtv (smart tv's, etc.), so it is handy to stick it into yr tv direct.

Becos it has the Imprex engine.

This engjne is an improvement over the ExpressX engine in q16.

Older models has neither.

The time will come...

When u get a 4k hdr tv.

Combine with q5.q10pro, playing the best files u can get.

Then u see what u hv been missing all this time!

Himedia Q5pro and Q10pro...No, all in english, no chinese or other language.

Himedia is still a young co. Only 12 years old.
From a small media player maker in shenzhen for china market to a full english international android box.
Its their experience in media players that make the native player a powerful one.
Something like their hallmark, will keep going to provide the best licensed codecs for audio and video.
A 5 yr old q series can do hd audio, iso, bdmv while others today still cant do dts or dd.

Few years ago, too young to be international, focus on home market.
Now, internationally, they have made the breakthrough with exbihitions, expos, conferences, agents and distributors.
There is a now lot of support in english in futeko, kodi and ither english forums and websites.
