Beelink GT1 Android TV Box Octa Core Amlogic S912

Straight out of the box Beelink GT1 looks very attractive. Small form factor, very slim, less weight and made with some premium metal. I tested the box for whole day. Installed many apps including IP TV setup and noticed only little warm unlike some of the boxes that I owned before were very hot with couple hours usage. I like the two USB ports. I connected Microsoft wireless keyboard mouse combo receiver to one of the USB ports. No setup required. Easy to operate like plug and play. One can be used for media and one for external keyboard/mouse receiver.

Box is very light weight. Remote looks like a standard simple Roku like remote. Slim and user friendly. Setup is very easy and quick. Connected power and HDMI cable. Box turned on with bee-link colorful intro and went into standard interface which looks pretty simple and attractive. Connected to wireless AC. My 100mbps internet connection showed in speed test around 50mbps in wireless mode and 97mbps via ethernet cable. Kodi 16.1 jarvis pre installed in the box. Installed Netflix and Youtube apps. Played 1080p videos in 5.1 surround with full screen. Interface is good. Smooth, no lags at all. I believe that is because of 2GB RAM and Octa core processor. There is one updater app pre installed in the box for OTA update. Overall i am very happy with the specs and performance. I did hours of research online by comparing all the other boxes that are coming with S912 processor. This stands the best with VP9, 4K 60p, H265 and HDR compatibility. I definitely recommend this box to anyone looking for a best budget friendly android smart TV box with S912 processor + 2GB Ram this is the one.

Its Original Beelink GT1 and i updated the rom just after turning the box on. Its one of the faster Android boxes on the market and on a price near 60$ its highly recommended.

No external antenna although the wifi receptio is really good

Le cinque stelle sono dovute per l'imbattibile rapporto qualità/prezzo.
Il GT1 è un buon tv box android, molto veloce e fluido nell'interfaccia. Il wi fi non è molto potente e con il primo firmware rilasciato si disconnetteva qualche volta in maniera random anche con router nelle vicinanze (1,5 metri).
Il telecomando è funzionale, ma per poterlo utilizzare va sempre puntato verso il box. Ho attaccato un semplice mouse wireless e l'esperienza cambia in positivo. E' come usare un PC. All'interno si trovano alcuni programmi pre installati come ad esempio Kodi. Kodi ha parecchi add-on già pre installati e pertanto ho preferito disinstallarlo e ripartire da una configurazione pulita. L'aggiornamento del firmware è frequente (sono al terzo aggiornamento in 1 mese) e funziona bene via OTA. La visualizzazione dei filmati è ottima. E' un prodotto che consiglio, in particolare se utilizzato con connessione ethernet.

Packaging - looks very premium-like.
Product - quality processing.
Remote control - simple, ergonomic, easy to operate.
EU Plug - ok
HDMI Cable - ok

After unpacking the product out of the box, I was pleasantly surprised at how little Beelink GT1. The product looks very well treated. The edges are nicely rounded and premium-like product color looks. The remote control fits nicely in your hand and very quickly get used to it. HDMI cable and plug EU OK.

Android interface is very brisk and the main screen is very clear and easy to understand. After turning everything works well.

I am glad I bought this product.
