Excellent flash sale for one of the best “budget” Android Box for KODI, Mini M8S II 16Gb version just $37.99 / €33.81 / £29.94 on a great flash sale. It comes with Android 6 Marshmallow, 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage (note: there are smaller versions too: 1Gb of RAM and 8Gb or storage and 2Gb of RAM and 8Gb of storage). This bigger version sports an Amlogic 64bit S905X CPU with 4 cores maxing out 2.0Ghz per core, a 5 core Mali 450 GPU and 2.4Ghz WiFi b/g/n with an internal antenna. If you want to use it for KODI as an example, this Android TV Box is perfect.

The main advantage of the Mini M8S II 16Gb version is it’s performance for the value. Considering the price, is an amazing deal. Not by any means top of the line but can do what it promises and it can do it very well. It can easily handle most of the apps and games of the pre-installed Google Play Store. And as I mentioned before, the performance on KODI is absolutely great! It is capable of flawless playback even on 4K HDR @ 60fps and fully supports all the latest codecs including HEVC!

The Mini M8S II 16Gb version is one of the smallest on the market and that’s where the name “Mini” comes from, under high stress it tends to be a little hot but nothing close to shutting it down or affect your experience. Black mate finish -almost grey dark- and no power button on the device. On the side there is a USB 2.0 and the memory card slot, on the back side an optical audio SPDIF, an Ethernet Gigabit port, the HDMI port, yet another USB 2.0 port and finally the DC-in socket.

If you like Open Source and projects like the Raspberry Pi, then you have to give a look also on the Khadas Vim Pro which is currently on a flash sale for $51.99 / €46.27 / £41.37 and with a free Khadas Vim remote control included! If you have no idea what I am talking about, you may ask “what he means free remote control?”. And that is a good question if you are unfamiliar with it. The Khadas Vim, similar to the Raspberry Pi is an open source tv box that supports Android 6.0, Ubuntu, OpenElec / LibreElec, Buidroot, etc and you can set it up however you like. The difference with the Pi is mainly the a lot better SoC and the whole device is a lot more powerful. The image below sums it up pretty well:  Read more

My all-time preffered remote control, keyboard and mouse for Android TV / Smart TV / LibreElec / Linux / Windows HTPC has always been the Rii i8+. It has been copied from a lot of brands but the original is the best on the market. While it is still on sale, Rii has updated their best seller into a newer, updated version. Now has released the Rii i28 remote control / keyboard and mouse touchpad with a newer design, the same (if not even best) quality and functions!
