HS86 PRO 16 is the name of a new Chinese TV box we found on AliExpress, this time featuring the Amlogic S905Y5 quad-core processor. It’s an Android box that doesn’t particularly catch our eye given the limited or nonexistent support it will have in every respect, but it can serve as a local media player supporting up to 4K, IPTV, and games.
This box features the classic rectangular design and a small front LED panel. It stands out for its 6-nm Amlogic S905Y5 processor, which is an improvement over its predecessor, the Amlogic S905Y4. This is an upgrade for the budget-friendly S905Y processor series, which switches from ARM Cortex-A53 cores to ARM Cortex-A55 cores—and is a much better option than the Allwinner H313 and Rockchip RK3518.
For memory, there are options with 2/4 GB of RAM and 16/32/64 GB of storage, which is expandable via its microSD card reader.
In terms of wireless connectivity, it features Wi-Fi6 and Bluetooth 5.4. The included ports are two USB 2.0 ports, an SPDIF digital audio output, a 10/100 Ethernet port, a 3.5 mm jack with analog audio and video output, and a high-resolution HDMI 2.0 video output.
The operating system is Android 14, and an infrared remote control with a microphone is included so you can control the device right out of the box.
