Help me pick my 1st Android stick! (up to 40£)

[O.C.2]

Hello! There are so many choices that confuse me and I need your help.
I found these 2 (dunno which one is better though) but both have BT I need:
(only from amazon/**** uk)

http://www.amazon.co.uk/SainSmart-MK...pr_product_top

Any other options/advice?


Thanx

Your examples feature dual core processors and 1GB of RAM, which are last years technology.

For the same money on ****, you could buy a quad core with 2GB of RAM.

Recommendations are best made when we know your intended purpose.

Thanx! It seems ****.co.uk is in my options too and you are right about the prices.
I want the stick for basic media play, some gaming and maybe as a "night downloader" around 40 pounds if possible.

something like these?

The first link the MINIX NEO X7 is one of the best but also the most expensive too at around £90 if your lucky,The 2nd link looks like a cx919ii witch should be ok,There all more or less the same but my advice to is do a bit more reading on here & go for the one that has the most support & custom rom's that way you will get more help when its needed.

Ok I think I'm going for this one even if its a bit more expensive:

For best ROM support, I would recommend the Rockchip RK3188 quad-core 1.6-1.8Ghz, 2GB RAM and AP6210 2.4Ghz WIFI.

All RK3188 processors will reach 1.8Ghz, regardless if the spec says 1.6Ghz, with a quality power supply.

A stick like CX919 with single antenna is well support and will run Linux too, however, there are many cheap version of the MK908 but support between version is problematic.

Due to hardware changes, the dual antenna version of the CX919 has little third party support.

One thing I would recommend is buy a new power adapter as the one's that come with any stick are rubbish you need a good 5 volt 2amp or 3amp is best.
