Now if only they figure out a way (fw upgrade) to mask it's root at will, our usual aotg & unifitv works and enable up to ATMOS or even DTS:X level, whilst reducing the cost to remain competitive? I'd say it's a definite keeper.
Do you mean this version...Netflix_v6.7.0 build 28750?
Oh that 4GB is of the LPDDR4 variety. Definitely trumps the 2GB DDR3 RAM that ships with Minix devices and the HiMedia Q10 Pro.. if you recall from my Kodi experiments. I wasn't able to get Elementum to work properly using the RAM option.. On Android, I've read it is better to use memory storage, due to system limitation on opened files and connections. So a bigger & faster "worktable" is a plus with such. Though yeah, they raced to be at the front, it'll take a lot more to be the defacto, before others can do better with the same SoC. Looking at you, Odroid N2.

..The S922X has a lot of hardware advantages. Take its latest HDR compatibility: Dolby Vision, Advanced HDR10, HDR10 +, HLG, PRIME HDR and support for REC709 / BT2020 profiles. Smart folks just need to tap into all that hardware goodness and bring forth a worthy FW..
that is the frustrating bit.
currently, there is NO rm400-500 box that can do all of that... been waiting but still nothing.
netflix 4k is not a big deal becos u need a 4k TV anyway and most 4k Tv's come with netflix; hdr10+ is limited to some tv brands only.
imo, the most impt features are fast, reliable, no overheating, hdr10, hlg, VP9, lossless audio (and this so damn hard to find!), auto framerate switching, close/open root option in setting to handle certain apps.
the first "cheap china" box that can do all that at <rm500, i buy right away.
for now, i will just stay with my himedia's and tanix's.
u9h, q10pro, shieldtv... all >3 years old, older chipsets, won't get past android 7/8.
sad, but there is no visible successor for them at the horizon.
