The VONTAR H618 is one of the best-selling Android box currently on AliExpress, as its price is low, but it has some interesting features as a media player.
The VONTAR H618 comes with Android 12 and is based on the SoC Quad Core Allwinner H618 evolution of the Allwinner H616 with support for decoding for the AV1 codec. An SoC that seems a better option overall than the Rockchip RK3528, a regular in TV-Boxes of this price. The rest of its specifications do not stand out, and it has a fairly standard hardware suitable for using this box as a multimedia centre up to 4K UHD resolutions or to install and use apps of all kinds, including emulators and games, without too much graphic demand.
Remember that with the VONTAR H618 you can not watch video in full quality in the apps of paid streaming platforms, as it does not have DRM certifications.
VONTAR H618 Specifications
Inside the TV-Box VONTAR H618 we find a low power consumption SoC Allwinner H618 manufactured in 28 nm. This is a chip that integrates 4 ARM Cortex-A53 processors capable of reaching 1.5 Ghz and an ARM Mali-G31 MP2 GPU.
Of this Android Box we have the usual versions on sale with 2/4 GB of RAM DDR3 and 16/32/64 GB of storage memory eMMc. We can expand the available storage thanks to the micro SD card slot included on the side of its circular plastic box.
Other notable features
In the field of wireless connectivity, we have a good configuration for its price with dual-band Wi-Fi aC with internal antenna and Bluetooth 4.0. As connectors, we find in the perimeter of its plastic box 2 USB 2.0 ports, LAN 10/100 network connector, AV interface for audio and analogue video output and an HDMI 2.0a video output port that allows us to output video up to 4K@60fps resolutions.
The VONTAR H618 Box comes with a simple infrared remote control, power supply and HDMI cable to start using this Box just by taking it out of the box and connecting it to our TV.
