SDMC makes quality products. So no worry there. Kind of like buying a Beelink, you know the hardware will be decent. With SDMC 's experience making Amlogic "Google Certified Devices" the firmware should be decent as well.
What I don't like is Price, regular price $85 usd, when Mecool KM3 is $69 with same Google Certified Android 9.0 Pie OS
- NeoT5 has only 2GB Ram + 16GB Storage, Mecool KM3 has 4GB/64GB
- NeoT5 doesn't come standard with Voice Remote, Mecool KM3 does provide one
- NeoT5 doesn't have NETFLIX licensing support, SDMC makes other boxes with Netflix support
- NeoT5 releases with S905x2 when S905x3 chipped boxes are starting to be released.
- The one 'Pro' for the NeoT5 is the Gigabit Ethernet port, where Mecool only has 100MB ethernet, besides that the Mecool KM3 looks to be the better purchase still.
Lets have a looks see at the OS and some basic tests To get things started being ATV Android 9 Certified
Much the same as all other certified boxes, it has to be to get certified I guess....so the layout, apps and all are fairly tied down to a point You can sideload others with Aptoide APK Mirror etc, to get around most apps you cant find
We don't have root, as expected being certified
Startup is a very Google Certified Unit and works well, to login in, with phone or remote. Wifi and Ethernet is also as you would expect excellent.
Stock remote does the job with ease, As the optional Neo A3 wireless remote with built in keyboard even better works very well and that squirrel mouse as they call it if you're into small keyboards (phone smasher) excellent device
Fund a few of the usual testing apps I use run sideways, and it this stage Antutu will not run, going to be a permission thing I feel. minor nothing really
Lets have look see
But be warned once you seen ATV on Android 9, it does become much the same.

All the usual Plex and Youtube all good on these certified Units the only thing that is a miss is Netflix at this stage,
Minix Neo T5 performs as it should and only a few quirks, apps manly testers running sideway,
Good clean rom and Speedy enough, Chromecast working, Great WiFi and Ethernet looks ok.
Note sure why Minix did not Jump to the 905x3 and maybe more ram, just ponderings.
