Is this an good option? [MXIII Amlogic S802]

[Noreg]

Hello!
I'm looking for a Android TV BOX, and I have been looking on this one.
Is this a good box for the price, and will it run XBMC good? And how is the comunity around this?

Please come with other suggestions if you have. My budget is around/under $100.

Thank you!

Dont have it but i hear good things about it and the 2g/8g is compatiple with all the avalaible roms here i would also look at the beelink m7b and m8b next week i will get them and either one is at your price range

Yes, important is that you get one with 2GB RAM (NOT 1GB), then you are able to use the same FW as all the round ones (beelink, tronsmart...)

But compared to the RPi, does some of you know how good it runs XBMC, and how the video playback is?

XBMC is good in Amlogic Platform, it should faster and smooth than PRI. I have tested the newest rk3288 device and the amlogic s802 device, for video playback, the amlogic is winner (if you don't need the h.265 right now).
so for your budget, i recommend the tronsmart vega s89 elite, lots of the roms support here. compare with MXIII, the pcba quality is not the same. i open both and compare.


also if you just need XBMC, you also can consider the dual core amlogic mx tv box, like CMX which sell in my site.

Fast and quick at GUI and nice picture quality, but at the moment (and I think they will be able to fix it really fast, because all wait for new SDK for s802 from amlogic because of this) there exist some little problems with sometimes little (micro)stuttering at 23,976 fps...
But what you have to know is, that generally at Android the "adjust refresh rate to video" doesn't work, so you have to switch manually to 24fps at Android-settings if you want/need it (I watch every video at 60Hz )

I think I'm going for the MXIII 2GB. It looks pretty nice, and I hope it works great too
