Android TV Box 12.0 4GB 32GB Allwinner H618 BT5.0 USB 2.0 Ultra HD 4K 6K 8K HLG Mode HDR10+ WiFi 2.4 5.8 GHz with Mini Keyboard

The description says the OS is version 10 whereas my box says it's OS is version 12.The description says the chip is H616 whereas my box says H618.The remote control uses IR and bluetooth. It is easy to connect my bluetooth mic-earphone headset with just 1 click although the microphone does not work with the box. In settings, the microphone is enabled but there seems to be no facility for audio input, only audio out.Please be aware that there are 2 versions of the Android OS. The normal one is for phones and tablets and is the one we are all familiar with and it uses the typical Google Play store. The other version is the TV version which is used in some smart TV's and these boxes. It has it's own version of Google Play store and is focused on streaming activities. It's play store sucks... most of the browsers available have names I have never heard of and Chrome, Firefox, etc are not listed. Even if you sideload a decent browser and try to install it, it wont install. Fortunately, Chrome is pre-installed and works.I use the ethernet connection but the wifi connection works just as well. Also, I don't use the (toy) keyboard supplied with the box. I use a real mouse and real keyboard that both use 1 usb dongle and they work well. This box runs circles around my Mecool KM7 (Android 11) box which cost twice the price.The connectors (usb,HDMI,ethernet) seem to be well made and require a slight bit of effort to insert and remove. Also be aware that HDMI cables have different ratings and capabilities. The 6K rating of this box far exceeds the ratings of my cables and tv. To get the best video from this tv box I am going to have to get new HDMI cables and a new tv.Yikes, I almost forgot, the box runs as cool as a cucumber (at room temperature :) )That is the way things are now on day 2.

I needed something that would play my 4K quad copter videos, and all my other media easily and this thing works great! - plus I can watch my Amazon prime videos, youtube, movies, TV., etc. - endless hours of TV blitzing. Trust me it can handle high resolution just fine. The unit can get pretty warm, so I have a small fan nearby anyways for my electronic gear, its good to keep things running cool, they last longer! I use a cat5 hard wire, the wifi was fine but wire is faster. The remote seemed wonky until I figured it out, it works well, but remember the keyboard goes to sleep if you don't use it often. I have not installed any pirate players so I cannot comment on those, but for a basic fast TV box, it is worth the cost and works well.

Once it’s all figured out it is a pretty cool device. Took quite a while for set up, and needed help from a tech savvy person. Didn’t notice any 4k changes. Overall a decent product.

This thing freezes more than Democrats at a Tom McDonald concert. It freezes more than Joe Biden speech. This thing freezes more than a penguins piss.... I am not pleased!

It worked for a couple of months but was broken after a couple of power outages. Make sure to plug a surge protector.

I had several Android TV boxes in the past but this RK3318 surprisingly has a very stable Wi-Fi signal compare to other boxes I previously owned. I had no interruptions while streaming movies with 1080p resolution so far.RK3318 produces very good picture quality using HDMI input (the HDMI cable was included).4 GB of RAM makes it very fast and 32 GB of storage gives me enough space to download my favorite applications. The box came pre-installed Android 9.0 OS, Kodi, Netflix, YouTube and many other useful applications. The setup was very easy and it took me only 10-15 minutes to sign in with my Google account and connect to my home network via WiFi. Using Ethernet is always faster but the box has very stable Wi-Fi, so I can use it without pulling any network wires. The box also has both USB 2.0 and fast USB 3.0 sockets, so i can connect wireless mouse, keyboard and other wireless devices or external wired storage.The box can be connected using both WiFi 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz. Bluetooth BT 4.1 make it easy to connect external Bluetooth devices. I have to mention that the TV box comes with a Mini Wireless Backlit Keyboard which used two AAA batteries. Using the keyboard is much easier to surf Internet and type. Some Web pages cannot be navigated without the keyboard, so having it is a nice feature.The remote control has a mouse mode and can be programmed to control some TV functions like Power On/Off, Sound +/-, Menu, Input control and it's your choice which function you want to control. You basically have one Power button and four extra buttons for TV. I use it to control Power and Sound which are mostly used.The box can be set up to power off the TV when the box is off or sleeping. I could also change the Power button mode from Sleeping mode (the default) to the complete power off. I like Sleeping mode because when I press the power button, it bring me to the screen I used before I sent the box to sleep.I have overall positive experience with this Android TV box and would definitely consider buying it again.

great product! works out of the box. easy to set up. excellent product support. tv remote is also very easy to program.android tv software is still a long way to go. youtube, prime video works fine but not so good for playing web based videos or from home servers. even needed a keyboard to operate chrome browser or vlc player in addition to tv remote. keyboard in the package has strange layout, right mouse button on the left side edge of the keyboard, difficult to use touch screen as it is in the top middle part of keyboard.
