Just watched u-tube video Box Review !!!!!!!!!!
It Flashed by quick /but im pretty sure i saw ArmV8.1....
All is Good

Nice!!!
Have been thinking about upgrade
This Box is 64 Bit correct?
Kernel Architecture 64 Bit Armv8?
Just finished reading Article about Big G/Andriod OS changing over to All 64 Bit
Play store has been implementing since 2019
All apps/APK

The chip is a 64-bit chip, but the OS software is still running in 32-bit mode; Mecool plus probably everybody else releasing the S905X4 with Android10 will also be running in 32-bit mode because that is what the SDK Amlogic provides to vendors has currently.

When Google releases Android 12 for the Pixel phones around September of this Year we will have better idea if Alphabet's GoogleTV will also be getting 64-bit only OS at that time, i.e. 2020 Chromecast; but I believe GoogleTV(androidTV) will get and exemption from the rule for at least another year because of the Video Codecs running in 32-bit.

What video, Chigz?

Stop at 10:20 - look at "Supported ABI" - only 32-bit ABI's visible.

Yes

Pause at 10.33

U will see Kernel Architecture ArmV8.1

That is most dissipointing if 32 bit

This is what mo123 was talking about in another Thread
Blame Amlogic...... for what they Provide

This will make my Decision Easier Now....
Unfortunetly

armv8l (is an L not a 1) ~ which designates a kernel architecture, a kernel that is compilied for a 32-bit system for a 64-bit chip model; armv8a would be full 64-bit kernel

Yes you are correct again RiCkLaR

Went back and watched video again/paused at 1024/and 1033

Both = 32 bit

Read that article about Big G and 64 Bit changeover
Was all excited/assumed Mecool was ahead of the Game...
Amlogic........Hmmmmmmmm

So we are awhile until there is 64 Bit /full

64 Bit Rom
64 Bit Binaries
64 Bit OS
64 Bit CPU (Lots of these actually )

Thanks RiCkLaR

I thought about making a purchase for an Ugoos box for dual boot, but I like the Mecool for Freaktab and 4PDA developers. Though the box is Google certified so it's a fully functioning android TV box. Something new for mid priced boxes. I messed with 64 and 32 bit os on Chinese boxes, and find 32bit more stable, both in box capability and app functions. I think this will last me a while.

Now I have decided to for go the Ugoos and take on my 1st Mecool. I like the hardware of the KM6 Deluxe, and the lack of rebuilding from scratch the TV experience on 10. So 32bit is a crutch, but within a year, I forsee devs doing some good things for these X4 boxes.

Well I had to reorder... went to Mecool and purchased it there. Can't complain with low price with practically free shipping and discount. Could not find a better deal without any points collected on other sites. Plus they will ship out sooner once the item is released in a week or two. Seems like every store has a waiting list for around the start of Feburary to ship.

Bit of a YT review:

There was a new page made from some guy who got to test a prerelease km6 deluxe box. His review sucked, but he did open it up. Easy peasy to dump the cheap dual internal antenna setup and go with external. The box has plenty of room for connectors. Will end up doing that after my 1 year warranty is up. And paint that white box, black or use wood grain vinyl sticky sheet and cover it as a wood block. Ha! Just my luck someone would grab it and use it as a door stop or table leg leveler. The hardware is pretty decent for at least 5 years. And is second in speed to a Beelink GT1, just above 101000 on the bench mark. As for 64 bit os, I can wait... by the time all boxes will have 11 or 12, there will be a port for the box, which will make it live in a 64 bit world.

...The box has plenty of room for connectors...

...Under the moto, don’t turn it on, take it apart. I opened the box to see its internals. There were 4 screws to undo under its rubber feet. It comes with a metal plate on the bottom which has a thermal pad making contact to the underside of the board... full review [CNX-Software]

...Now i would like to talk about the main differences between Mecool KM6 Deluxe and Mecool KM6 Classic. The last variant, namely Classic, comes in a black plastic box. This time the plastic is quite budgetary and the device does not look ads luxurios as the Deluxe modification... full review, .ru translated [CentrParts]

Ha! You found the article. It's one of them part techie, and part is this guy for real. Probably the worst review I ever read on new tech. But a good laugh.

the previous picture to the one showing the main board out of the box, show how much room there is at the side where no ports are. You could probably add hardware, if your capable. Also I grubbed info from a few sites, that are specific to options. I guess it's a manufacturers region opton, based on the S905x4 architecture's capabitlies.

Here are the options that can be emplemented. May be an option for developers to make module patches later, when more hardware using the x4 chip is released using such options. TCH Prime, HDR Technicolor, Irdeto, MSR2.2, Niagra TKL, and Verimatrix

Every ones a critic. ? Seemed like honest review not much better then the 9053x but seems becoming more stable as they get new soc. The fact that it's Google certified is a bonus as many not. I need to check one of these out.
