Surely in a few days we see some more Box with SoC Amlogic S905 and Android 8.1.
Basic Review
TR99 mini is an Android TV-Box low-cost with enough hardware for normal use. How to analyze say that at the multimedia level you can play 4K @ 60fps files with h.265 / VP9 codecs using KODI, LibreELEC or IPTV and Netflix streams in SD basic quality at most. If you want to see Netflix and other services in maximum quality consult our list of Android TV models with Netflix 4K, HBO and others. The S905 processor allows us to use basic apps and games. This brand has no known support where to turn, we will stay with Android 8.1 all your life in complete safety.
