Hi All, I have had this unit for over 2 weeks and i have found it very good
This is the list of Apps i have installed on it.
1. ABC Iview
2. BBC iPlayer
3. Flix Universe
4. Gmail
5. Google Play Service
6. Google Play Store
7. Hamsphere
8. IPTV Pro
9. MX Player
10. Netflix
11. Root Check
12. SBS on Demand
13. Speedtest
14. Tunein Radio
15. Wi Fi Analyzer
16. Youporn
17. Youtube
Did have Antutu 3D Benchmark and uninstalled after tests.
The best score I had with Antutu was 35978
3D:- 4014
UX:- 13293
CPU:- 13540
RAM:- 5131
When testing with Antutu I found that the version of Looipop is only 32 bit not 64 bit.( Hope for OTA to fix this)
When running root check it is not rooted. (OTA I hope)
Aliexpress web site state this is what I should have got.

Vid On has run with no problems at all even with playing 1080 over local connection to PC.
I was able to play 720 though Vid on from RT News and other with out a problem.
The remote has a good feel and works well.
All the apps I have work well with ethernet and Wi Fi.
In all I am happy with this unit and would recommend it for what i use it for.
I do not play game so i can not comment on how it would work with gaming.
A great buy for the price it is at the moment.
PLEASE NOTE I am new to to this so I can only go on what I have found in my little tests
Cheers
Kevin

The Postman has arrived and what do I see here
New Inphic Spot i7 1/8 Gb

Lets see what we have here....

Good Looking Packaging, and a few extra bits to add.
As this unit has only 2 USB ports they have included a mini USB hub,
Also included Video Cable for RCA.
Au Power supply, thank you no more adapters that has to be good.
A easy to read Manual if its ever needed.

In The Box

Under side of PCB

Not sure what the deal is here.
To give the unit a bit of extra weight they have a metal plate in the base.
If you look at the Image of the under side of the PCB we have a reset button,
Guess we don't need to use it as the plate covers all the vent holes.

Hi Inphic, Could you please post the u-boot.bin file for the i7.
My i7 stopped working over night and all I get is the red light.
It had switched its self off sometimes but had started after using the remote.
Tried to get pc to recognize it but it would not.
Opened up unit and found that it has no reset button on the board.
Will try to fix it when I have the u-boot.bin file with sd card.
The unit has been working great with all the apps that I listed in my first post.
I did have it changing volume by its self sometimes in different apps.
Cheers
Kevin

Volume Bug is seen in many 905 devices.
There is a reset on the under side, is covered by plate :-(
Needs a bit of work in lollipop, (little bloated) for a first release into the unknown it's ok.
Cheers

[kevin1341]

Thank you trebor for that info.
My board has no reset button at all.
As in this info:- http://www.elezine.com/2015/12/inphi...xing-teardown/

I now understand
You can see where it belongs. All markings on PCB look the same maybe someone forgot to check
If your game you could attempt to short those pins as your own risk of course,
Rubber gloves and a face shield in case of atomic bang

[kevin1341]

Ha Ha
I do have some of those switches here so I will solder one in.
Test for maximum smoke!

[trebor]

Once they put that piece in base I guess they then thought, Hmm dont need switch. save 10c
I took the plate out and modded the heat sink, getting temps up to 115c in some tests, 3dmark, Antutu,
Now its sits in the 70c range under the pump.
I know they can run hot, but heat is Bad.

I will listen for the bang.

[artouiros]

I want to buy your box, are you a good company or just a 5 people working in a basement? Is it safe yo use our box? Some post in this thread says that it runs 70C temp, I don't want to burn my house. Im asking this question because your site - inphnic.com works very bad, can't even acces the shop / images and tech specs, also there is only white remote for i7 model, why tehre is only white remote? I want a black box with a black remote, or even a red box but still with black remote. who designed a white remote?

[artouiros]

do you have official reseller on aliexpress? I don't want to be fooled, I know tehre are many bad people on aliexpress

[RISCy Dude]

Hello artouiros, According to Inphic, this is the link to Inphic's official Aliexpress page for the i7. This is their store homepage. Good day.
