That is an interesting observation. My last understanding was that VidoeStrong/Mecool were ONLY going to use the Android TV OS on their boxes, and not the touch version. BUT, I hear a lot of complaints on this site, that some people PREFER the touch version of the OS, so perhaps VS and Mecool are monitoring these forums and decided to satisfy both groups. So, your observation makes sense, that the Voice version would have the Android TV OS and the NON Voice version of the same "L" box would have the touch version.........
Just my crazy thoughts.

I receive two Mecool M8S Pro L, LB version. I’m running stock rom and mainly using it for streaming movies and tv shows on kodi, a few apps and my iptv service. Box runs great for what I use it for, haven’t noticed any real issues.
I purchased the boxes for a supplier on Alibaba.
The box does feel a little hot to the touch, but haven’t had any random freezing.
What app can I install to see the temp the box is running?
Also would you guys like me to open it up and post any specific hardware specs?
Thanks

Stock ROM, doesn't mean anything anymore. Is it running the Leanback launcer, or the older Mecool launcer?? Also, did you get the "L" with or without the Bluetooth Voice Remote??? thanks.

Thanks, that helps, lots of confusion going around. Some people are getting the "L" boxes with the older Mecool launcher. Very strange what Video Strong/Mecool are doing with their hardware and software components.......

@ al8782 : it can be useful if you take some photos of your mainboard and of the wifi chipset, just to confirm that the LB with voice remote has some hardware differences from the LB with voiceless remote...
BTW, it seems that all the LB with the voiceless remote have the mecool OEM launcher and run an hybrid version of Android TV (no leanback launcher, app store for ATV) ...

@ supermal: it seems that also the LB "voiceless" variant has the Broadcom 4335. I've attached a dmesg output from my box...

A few manufactures are starting to follow suit, so Videostrong/Mecool MUST get their act together or they will fall to the wayside.MK818B, T428, ATV 1220, CS918S, TV01, S89H, R89, ADT-1, MK808B Plus, MINIX X8-H Plus, Tronsmart Orion R68
