It boasts 4GB RAM, and eMMC 32GB, advantageous in performance, security and reliability, ascribing to the eMMC memory, ultimately delivering a richer end-user experience.
HDMI 2.0 Connector
You can go directly to let your TV and H96 MAX+ TV Box are connected through an HDMI cable and set up your home cinema for the best 4K x 2K UHD multimedia experience.
True 4K Media Player
While your average media box might only accept 1080P video playback, this gadget plays just about any 4K sources you could throw at it. Furthermore, it moves out into reality the fantasy of VP9 hardware decoding alongside the H.265.

[trebor]

Did a few screenshots etc startup all good...pretty zippy as it is
Netflix only 480p,
has root with SU installed, looking ok

Thought I would attempt the rom above rom as the one installed dated August 2018 what could go wrong...

Now If i can only get the box to detect, Fails even as a usb device plugged in, many cables, ports and PCs, drops recovery and that's about so far..
More if it can happen...

Much the same, no extra features found In Display, or Dev options,

Maybe the update will have the goodies....if we can get it to detect

[trebor]

So if all else fails, I guess we RYFM

And there it is,...

Run tool load rom click burn.

Remove all cables etc,

Hold Reset while plugging in USB 2 port and away it goes
Been awhile since i have burned a RK box as we know it
