S905w2 vs rk3566

[mitchell4you]

A user asked me:

[Hello, sorry to disturb you.

I would have liked to know what you thought of the H96 Max and X88 Pro 20 TV boxes with rk3566 chip? And for IPTV and video?

Do you find the A95X Air II with S905W2 chip better?

Thanks in advance.

As I don't own a s905w2 device.. it's hard to answer

The rk3566/h96 shines at :
-Watch large movies...for example that directorcut Marvell movie ( it doesn't play on firestick/shield error running out of space)
-Large list of IPTV/EPG channels
-appz that play movies from torrent
-if you need a device with root access or lots of ram ( dedicated server? )
android 11 / 64bit

Where it fails..
-vendor support and community support
-8K
-AV1 ( not supported )
-auto framerate change ( not supported )
-Anything that requires DRM/Widevine, Hulu / Netflix / prime video / .. ( max 540p )
-original youtube app max 1080p ( alternative youtube apps have 4k options )
-High end gaming ( note: if you root your device and start a game..you get banned )

Not seen any review..of the A95x air ii ( yet )

perhaps..other users can shine some light..on how the s905w2 performs?
