The TV-sticks are small media players that occupy the minimum and can even be connected directly to the TV like the M98 mini that has an Allwinner H313 processor as its center.
The M98 mini is a stick with Android 10 as the operating system that is only suitable for basic use and that is powered by a low-end processor such as the Allwinner H313 whose performance you can check in one of our Review.
As always in this format we have minimal connectivity options, and we do not have the necessary certificates to watch paid streaming in high quality, if we are looking for that it is better to go for a streaming certified device. It is also better not to expect any type of support for this media player that is not going to move from Android 10.
