I've been notified that my Beelink 16GB device has been shipped this afternoon, so I should have it in a few dyas (hopefully). If anyone wants to post a hi-res photo of the circuit board (so it is easy to identify the chips) of a Tronsmart, I'll do the same for the Beelink. So we can compare if they have the same NAND etc.

The beelink is exactly the same hardware & firmware (100k4 - except the bootup logos etc.) as the tronsmart device. You also get them in 8GB & 16GB versions - so be carefull that they ship the right one.
Bought mine here - free DHL shipping and good price. Got it with 5 days from halfway around the world :

yup, was your post which prompted me to order mine from same site as well
I'll be adding an external antenna and probably a small fan on top (it's winter here now, but Aussie summers can be fairly hot).

Oh ok good!
It does get little hot but not too much in my opinion (thats at +-20degC - 25gegC ambient). Not sure how well these devices handle thermals though. Sometimes ( 1-2 times a day) it crashes with a pop and then just blanks out (freeze) and sometimes it recovers and continues the movie where it left off. Not sure if this is related to the heat though. When it freezes it needs a reboot.
This is with finless 1.2 & XBMC 04/16 nightly.
Does Anybody get this problem?

ok - cracked open my Beelink m8.
16GB Flash (Micron 29F128G08) - suprisingly they use 1 chip - with still one unpopulated site (cheaper I guess).
Amlogic S802 With heatsink on top of cpu (As expected)
I'm quite glad I opened it because the IR was completely bent back and remote was always erratic especially when aiming it from an angle upwards to the device - like when i'm laying in the couch.
Now it works much better.

But in the end I agree that its a gamble expecialy if the clones start to arrive with different PC board versions or worse with cloned PC boards with inferior components. For now I think there is a window where they all exactly the same.

Originally posted by Lokie View PostYep I was quite nervous when I ordered, but could not resist 4 for $377 and free DHL shipping... The picture showd a 4K no name brand initially but was then shipped the beelink instead - but its still the same thing. Tronsmart has the same PC board version, date etc. The CPU also has the same heatsink so I guess the OEM manufacturer fit those. I don't expect the beelink and tronsmart units to behave any different except maybe less QC checks before shipping, which the vendor did for me before he shipped it.

I'm fairly certain that like the CS918 there is one manufacturer.
I decided on the Beelink as I like the red two-tone colour - it will make it easier to spot the device in my media cabinet, apart from all the other little black boxes
Also Geekbuying were out of stock and not expecting the next shipment for a fortnight and I wanted it sooner than that, before I switch to my new job and may not have a lot of spare time to experiment with my first android media player.
Lokie - thanks for all the photos, I'll post when I antenna and fan mod mine.

The factory is NETXEON, they own the Beelink brand.
Tronsmart S89 boards are from NETXEON.
