Another TV box has landed in my hands. Although it’s based on an SoC from the well-known Amlogic, this isn’t the all-too-familiar S905/912, but something new to me called the T962E. It’s a rather contradictory TV box. Find out more in the review, which, as usual, includes testing, a teardown, and more.

Beelink decided to release an “upgraded” version of the GT1, called Ultimate. In essence, the difference from the previous version isn’t that great, and that’s exactly what I wanted to talk about in today’s review. Let’s see whether it’s worth it, or if they should have just “left well enough alone.”

Quite recently, I reviewed a TV box based on the relatively new Amlogic S905W SoC, which was intended as a budget alternative to the S905X. Back then, I complained about a few issues with the new processor, so today I'm giving it a second try, so to speak, for comparison. As usual, I'll take a look, take it apart, test it, and add it to the comparison table at the end—especially since there's a new entry in it.

Not long ago, someone asked me in the comments about TV boxes based on ZTE Microelectronics’ new ZX296716 SoC. It caught my interest because it’s not the familiar Amlogic or Rockchip, or even the relatively uncommon Realtek. Since I had the chance, I ordered one for review.

Last month I posted a review of a TV box from Vorke, and even then I suspected it looked a lot like one of Tanix's TV box models. No, today's review isn't of its twin; it just so happens that even in this form, the model I'm reviewing has a lot in common with the Vorke. And on top of that, it's built around Amlogic's new S905W SoC. Let's take a look, take it apart, test it, and see how the new SoC compares with the previous versions.

I’ve already reviewed two Vorke mini PCs. I really liked the first one, and the second was interesting in its own way, although it did have some drawbacks. This time, though, I was curious about an Android TV box from the same manufacturer. The previous devices were built pretty well and, more importantly, worked reliably, so I wanted to see how the Vorke Z6 would fare. Inspection, teardown, tests, conclusions.

As for an introduction, there really isn't much to say: it's another TV box, with its own quirks and its own "personality". Today's review won't be very long, since I doubt I can say anything new, but as always, I'll take it apart.

I got my hands on a small, basic TV box built around the Rockchip RK3328. There’s nothing particularly special about it, except perhaps its size, so I decided to put together a short review to match :)

I got my hands on a small TV box, but this one isn't based on the usual Amlogic chip. Instead, it uses a Rockchip, which has become less common lately. I came across it by chance and hadn't originally planned to review it, but since I have it, I decided to give you a quick rundown. A look around, tests, teardown, conclusions—same as always.
