Imagination leaves much to be desired in many brands or Chinese assemblers who insist on repeating the same product over and over again with slight aesthetic or hardware changes. The Smart Box Flowfon F1 is another of these media players without any added value based on the Allwinner H6 SoC that reaches Chinese stores and barely distinguishes itself from the competition. Few details to highlight a basic box that includes Android 9.0 OS and will go through stores without pain or glory.
