Today we found a new Android TV-Box called Tanix H1, a device that only stands out for bringing us Android 9 to the Hisilicon SoCs. Good news for all users of this family of processors in other TV-Boxes, perhaps in the future they maybe will receive an update. This product as we will see has limited specifications and we do not recommend it a priori, do not be fooled by the price that is using to capture uninformed users.
SoC, RAM and storage
Tanix H1 includes the still unknown Hisilicon Hi3798M V110 SoC, a Quad Core with ARM Cortex-A53 processors and a MALI-450 GPU similar to the one mounted by the Himedia Q30 TV-Box but that surely has some extra cut-out. A SoC that offers us a good H.265 and VP9 decoding with 10bit color support and high-quality image processing. On the other hand, we only have 1/2GB of DDR4 RAM and 8/16GB of eMMc storage memory, which is absurd today.
Other specs
To continue with its poor specifications we have only WiFi b/g/n 2.4G and it does not have Bluetooth. The expansion ports are few, on the one hand we have an HDMI 2.0a port, power connector, 10/100 Ethernet and A / V, on the other hand we have two USB 2.0 ports and a microSD card slot that we hope will allow us to expand the shortage eMMC internal space as standard.
Price and availability
- The TV-Box Tanix H1 can be bought at Banggood.com or Aliexpress.com only for $19.99 (€18.42), a rather limited device that at first does not seem very interesting, better other options.
Please check correct version of CPU. Hisilicon hi3798m v100 is 4x cortex a7 cpu 1.5GHZ !!! Now is 110… Hi3798M V200 has cortexA-53 core. on aliexpress it is sold in very low price and small amount of RAM – 1GB and 8GB of ROM…… I think it is Cortex-A7 CPU !!!!!
Hi3798M V110 High-performance Quad-core 64 bits ARM CortexA53
That’s the info we have.
Anyway, don’t buy this, just see other models.
The sellers from Aliexpress do not know themselves. But somebody prepared advertising material with information that it is cortex-A53. so maybe it’s …
Maybe… we will try to as to tanix.
