Minix Neo U1 Android TV Box Prices & Availability: http://geni.us/MinixU1

This is my review of the Minix Neo U1 that features the new Amlogic S905 Cpu, the Pentacore Mali 450, 2gB of DDR3 Ram and 16GB of eMMC 5.0 Flash Storage with Android Loliipop 5.1.1

I benchmarked the Minix Neo U1 with:
– Disk Speed Test, Antuntu, Geekbench 3, Network Speed Test, 3D Mark Score & Epic Citadel.

Tested the Minix Neo U1 with:
– Big Buch Buny, Tears of Steal and Sintel Movies with H264 and H265 Codecs at 1080p and 4K resolutions without any problems whatsoever.
– To test out 10 Bit playback capability i run 2 sample movies from Samsung, The Iceland and Dive Into The New World, both Ultra HD 10 bit video and the U1 played everything just perfect.

In terms of Android gaming platform the Neo U1 is capable of playing the most demanding games and the ones tested were Respawnables and Asphalt 8 Airborn.

Also capable of Game Stream at 1080p resolution and 60FPS.

Airplay was also very smooth, used Air Pin Pro App included with the Minix Neo U1 and i could mirror the Iphone 4S and the Ipad Mini with Retina Display and stream content from it.
I also mirrored the Imac that delivers a higher bit rate files and played live slide shows from it and also a apple event and no issues once again.

Things I did Like The Most:
– Usual Great Build Quality from Minix Boxes
– Really Fast Storage
– Crazy Wifi And Ethernet Speeds
– Smooth Video And Audio Playback in All File Formats
– Capable of Game Stream at 1080 60fps

Things i Did Like The Least:
– So far Nothing

Hope you guys enjoy the video
All the Best
