On with some testing....
Good looking box not much Ventilation.
The Stripe in front Cyles 3 colours, Green, Cyan and Blue
And the super sensitive off on switch slight touch of Switch when moving box around its off.

The V7 is running a July issue of Android 7.1 being a little Dated we may have a few issues
Currently no OTO update, and don't see any new firmware on their website for the V7.

Ok looking UI, flash Intro, may get annoying after awhile,
Upper and Lower Notification and Task Bar, and Root.

Easy Setup Connect to Google downloaded appps etc looking Ok
WiFi Looking good.

First Quirk: Reset/Power off, run Playstore need to agree to Google, so something not 100%

Running Antutu first time, seeing temps up to 100C+..Doomed I thought
Some rechecking later and things were High 80C so maybe it was having a moment at the time of the first test.
Once(when and If)the Rom gets an Update as this one is near on 4 moths old things may improve.
In saying that not a lot of Air Circulation, still Warm to Hotish, out with the Drill me thinks

Ok lets have a look see.

Just incase you did not notice this PCB is the same that has been used in the T95U,
A review some place on FT, Ram and Wifi different have not looked to hard

Again thanks to Gearbest

Wow New Firmware: https://1drv.ms/f/s!ArKioz4lbRJGg3q_8Iiudj0m2T1J
Was dated October, but same rom already installed, I hate that.


Also Found as I dont use the remote much there is a LED Button that allows you to turn to a colour of your liking
or turn it off, sweet.
