Beelink GT1 Mini Android v8.1 Oreo TV Box / S905X2

[@davidj.7779]

One of the most lucid and well organized tech reviews I've seen. The comparative rankings are really helpful.

[@ChigzTech]

Thank you

[@Mosestylez]

Thank you for this! Good to know that the T95Q is better! :) Hopefully at least one USB port works for that box....🙄

[@agregg9330]

Very impressive...Beelink seems to be another great alternative 👍👍👍.

[@foxxxy33]

Great review, I finally bought a Beelink GT1 mini. Wow its so small. I'm impressed with it so far. Voice response is excellent, it does anything a phone will do in terms of "Ok Google". Speaking of phones, that's the only downfall, is its running off phone software(8.1) But close enough to perfect for me. The price was awesome, I went thru ChinaBrands with fast shipping & with the US to Cdn conversion & taxes was under $80.

[@bhaveshmer]

Love from India ! I love the way you review and rate the product in chart according to rating.

[@maroofkhan]

Great ! It's an awesome TV Box with Android 8.1 Oreo !

[@tugnippleman1573]

While the boxes using the RK3399 may still provide some better measurements, clearly for value versus performance, the new S905X2 boxes are the direction to go. With this technology still in its infancy, none of these boxes are guaranteed from becoming outdated. Being able to buy essentially disposable boxes for around 50 dollars should software move to far ahead of the hardware, is a very welcome choice.

[@ambershehzad2691]

Dude Really after watching video i have no question left to ask about this product Cuz you already explained every single thing so much greatly

[@ChigzTech]

Glad to hear. Thanks.

[@opaextreme9282]

do you need all the usb ports ? are they all just for your own option to connect to your tv ? we have multi hdmi ports on our smart tv, so if we use hdmi port to connect, then all the others are not required ? so, if I like a box with now 3.0, it's not a big deal, as I have hdmi ?

[@isaiahkapoi9044]

Which S905X2 box do you think is the best? I’m looking to put coreELEC on one, just don’t know which box is best.

Nice review. Can you tell how does the fast forward and fast backwards work ? The remote doesn't have any buttons for that.

[@ChigzTech]

Navigation buttons left and right

[@Psalm46.1]

Thanks for the great review. Does this box support the Android navigation bar so you can switch between apps easily? I didn't see one in the video when you had the home screen up.

Thank you for the great review. Like always amaze job. But try to run Geekbench again. My GT1 Mini score is 2314 on multi core. This box playing everything. Very good performance and the best of all? Beelink has great support and ota updates.

[@ChigzTech]

Yes no doubt the performance is great.

[@trble57]

Great review Chigz. I watched this earlier but need ed to get back to this for the review. Isn't it amazing what Little TV Boxes as this do the job! ☺ No Mirror, that's one things I use alot. 😞 Thank you Chigz, I do like that has an ethernet plug.

[@WaynesWorld69]

Got 1 of these a few days ago. Really impressed with its performance! What is a good game controller for this box? Prefer wireless.

[@ChigzTech]

This is my fav controller: Gamesir G4S Game Controller: ➡️ Buy from Amazon US: amzn.to/2y5Hmka ➡️ Buy from Amazon UK: amzn.to/2yNQRkY ➡️ Buy from Amazon IN: amzn.to/2FQdfjH

[@yumseta]

Looks good., performance is also good. Yet again however, it's another S905X2 with no Miracast, so, like you, I'm really beginning to think the box manufacturers are dropping the feature, especially with this CPU. Least this one does have a gigabit LAN port this time, so that's something.

[@ChigzTech]

Yes we saw the same issue with the RK3328 with Nougat but Oreo gave us Mircast. So I'm hoping that Android Pie will resolve this in the s905X2.

[@santhoshgopal3379]

Too small and it can provide 1080p?? Waoh.. the sound and video of the FIGHT MOVIE WAS AMAZING 💝💝

I got this box. It’s amazing I am very happy with it.

[@briananderson6316]

Which do you prefer this or the Mecool KM9 ?

[@cypekis11]

Can you tell me why some boxes has dull tones on Kodi streaming of 4k? Compared to Dinobot U5 mini, which is really vibrant, the beelink looks poor. The same as my minix U1 - dull 4k videos. Is it a HDR option, which only looks good on Dinobot? I mean I could buy the t95q or beelink for the price, but maybe it makes sense to pay more and have the better one?

[@johndarnbrough6480]

thinking of buying , did yours arrive with a 3 pin UK plug ?

[@ChigzTech]

Yes mine came with the 3 pin UK.

[@haithemtabli30]

[@ChigzTech]

T95Q

[@haithemtabli30]

Thank you bro

[@gaila.8830]

Thanks for the review What I find too bad is that many of the tv boxes have the "cons " of "no miracast" Why is that? Any replacement to cast beside Chromecast that would work? Which tv box under 120 would you recommend that would allow it it top ranked? Thanks for all your great reviews

[@ChigzTech]

This year I want to see great TV boxes, I want to see some real progress in the TV box world. Because 2018 was not very exciting and not much progress was made. We need to get more harsh with reviews telling the manufacturers what we want. I know Netflix HD is not possible as Netflix will not give licensing to smaller companies even if they pay for it. so 480 netflix will not go down as a con, as long as it works fine. Mirrcast has to work its a very basic feature and if they can't get that right its getting a con. At the moment the Tanix TX92 is one of the only boxes that can mircast and airplay with a superb performance. its a great all round box.

Thats because I have mentioned in multiple videos the reason why netflix is at 480p. The licensing will not be given to any small company. So I believe as long as netflix works it will be a pro.

[@mandylovescandy533]

What TV box should I buy in 60-80 $ with great specifications that can play pubg mobile and ashphalt 9

[@ChigzTech]

None of these TV boxes are designed for gaming as there is no cooling. So eventually it will overheat and damage. If you stream movies it will never overheat. Games will certainly cause overheating. If you still want to game just get a shield TV.

[@vladbularca8731]

Hi. A great review as always. I was just prepared to buy this box, but as you said, it does not support Miracast for Android, by default :(. I read on Beelink forum that they will release a software updating this feature, which for me is a deal-breaker. And the price for it went up to 79.99$ for the 4gb RAM/64 internal storarge. So for this money, this is the best TV box?(Has to support Maximum 1080p videos and movies, some gaming and also Miracast). Can you please update the video,or at least confirm that it works perfectly with the Miracast app(for Android) that you found? Thank you.

Does this run Android TV or full Android and how does it compare with the NVidia Shield for flexibility?

[@ChigzTech]

This runs full android and nothing compares to the shield, its in a league of its own. Yes there is a little more flexibility with full android boxes but it really depends what you want. I can do anything on the shield, including sideloading, iptv, kodi etc and it's much faster than any other box.

Hello; why is the T95Q rated higher then the beelink GT1?

[@ChigzTech]

The T95Q has a great performance, but also the best home screen, very well optimised, fast wifi. Its pretty solid in overall performance and general usability. You have a gigabit Lan, Supports Dolby DTS and supports Airplay. This GT1 mini has nearly exactly the same specs and performance, but the home-screen is not great, sometimes buggy, also there is no mirrcast or airplay and no DTS.
