ODROID N2+ or Chinese TV box

[soldiaz]

Folks, was bit hopping the internet and found the ODROID unit equipped with S922x and DDR4, the board for like 60$ and the 4GB unit 79$ which is like 65EUR.

Besides this I found odroid.com and couple of img ready to install. Compared to the Beelink S922x unit it is more then half the price!

Do I miss something what do you guys think?

Hmmmmmmm

Apples and Oranges

SBC VS TV BOx

THere is no internal
No OS

You will probs need to purchase eMMC Module for empty socket on board
Maybe even eMMC Module Adaapter to Flash
Or 16 GB Micro SD Card

For OS to Run

Probly Limited To Android 9 at current
Does not mean there will not be Android 10/11/etc....
For Odroid

SBC is best for Desktop Not TV Box
My opinion only

Can be Used as TV Box quite well

Good Luck

Ah, of course, did not notice missing storage :-P..

Good thing is storage can be expanded on your needs though

[freddy]

Yes can be expanded

It really is just personal preference...
With SBC you can have best of both Worlds

Anything you can do with TV Box

Ubuntu for Odroid can do and then Some!!!!!!

Y/yube/Netflix/Amazon/Hulu/etc...

Of course idoKKodi is universal....etc..

Did you read how fast this thing is !!!!
Octa Core....i think


And you dont need eMMC Module
Ubuntu/Armbian boots from SD

However to just use Android 9 as OS.......


Good luck

Happy Testing
