Which internet set-top box to buy?

LITTLEREDDOT · Jul 25, 2014

Need some advice on internet box.

Any advice on which internet set-top box to buy?

I have heard of MINIX but are there other brands?

Also, where to buy them? It seems online may be even cheaper than buying at Sim Lim.

What is the difference between a set-top box like MINIX and a device like Roku or Chromecast?

Thanks

if you are frequent traveller, better get a dual sim phone.
i am using 6.5" hd octo core 2gb ram bought in shenzhen 6 months ago for S$280.
very fast but only drawback is needing to charge everynite.
so far only 1 shop selling octo-core in simlim for $399 when i was there early last month.
the rest are quad core at +-$200
most in simlim are actually 'unbranded' models but make sure you get the 2gb ram version.

Thanks for the tip...most ah tiong phones r dual sim. But I dont understand why the oppo n1 is not. Have all I want. Big screen. Good camera and big battery. But no dual sim...

oppo N1 have good spec with a good quality rotateable lens for selfie.
remember enquring price in malaysia at around S$600-700??? equivalent.

http://global.oppo.com/products/n1/specs/

too pricey for me after using china phones for more than 10 years.
after using the 6.5" for web surfing as well, there is no going back now.

Can recommend a website for the 6.5 phone? 600 bucks for oppo n1 is ridiculous

price for oppo N1 is in malaysia for reference only. i do not know sg price

this 6.5" octo-core http://www.chinavasion.com/china/wh...3_Megapixel_Rear_Camera_1280x720p_Resolution/

but price is much higher than what i paid for.

download app "system info droid" from play store to see complete spec of your android smartphone.

going back to hk after 7th month, will check shenzhen price for you

You don't need Android Tv to watch free TV!

PC also can watch. Mobile phones also can watch. Just plug them to your TV hdmi outlet.
