Whoa! I didn't even check the price tag.. Over $200..   .. What were their sales folks thinking? Trying to take on the Nvidia Shield TV? Even that is priced lower.. Good luck to em. 

This a rebrand... aka Unuiga S905/U1...was supposed to be a $40 crowdfunded project but did not meet target

Unuiga/Jide went ahead anyway to build and list it at about $75 last year...

They used good parts too...RAM/ROM speed is faster than Minix U1, above average Lan, touch sensitive on/off/standby switch, big piece of metal plate as heat sink, but cheap out on wifi antenna, and number of USB ports.

Unuiga/Jide is now making the IO and IO+...shipping soon...

I wonder which has the better picture quality... U9-H/U1 or Q10/Q5 pro?

I know the Himedias have extra picture tweaking ability via imprex settings...have not seen any such settings for the Minix, but this doesn't mean much if its picture is already great.

The only person that I know who has both boxes is JayceOoi...care to comment?

Anyone else seen such shoot-out/comparison?

There have been comparisons and so far the Minix Neo U9-H comes out on top where firmware and apps compatibility are concerned.. PQ..? Hmm, that's trickier cuz based off my experiences with Minix's flagship models, the PQ only really gets better after a couple firmware updates. Haven't seen em both in person yet, but based on feedback, the HiMedia Q10 Pro has more customization options and theoretically ATM, better PQ than the Neo U9-H.

I have read that the HiMedia Q10 Pro has issues with HDR files.. Also, I'm a Kodi guy and it's public knowledge that Kodi works far better on the Minix Neo U9-H.. Even better on the Minix Neo U1 than the HiMedia Q10 Pro. So there's that too.
A shootout would be welcome. Though at RM1K? I'll rather top up and get the Nvidia Shield TV 2.. Enjoy the best.
