Inpic i7 update
UPDATE
A well presented device.
With the few extra bits supplied to make up lack of USB ports
A flashy looking programmable remote that has a few already preprogrammed features
Select Vod button up comes You tube, Select TV and Kodi runs
TV-SYS brings up HDMI resolution settings and Setup straight to lollipop settings.
Red Standby and Blue power on LED on the front, and remote works as you would hope to control Media Player.
All can be easily altered to suit your individual needs
4 to 5 meters line of site seems achievable.
The Inphic Spot i7 does have root.
Being a 1/8 gb units can struggle a little when pushed
Running a few bench mark test it was noticed.
This is Inphics first release of Lollipop 5.1 so a few quirks yet to be sorted.
First turn and setup Google and update no problems,
Found Twitter, Skye, Facebook, Currents not big space takers removed.
Plex, Netflix, Hulu, Chrome, Mxplayer and few other Google apps
My unit can run HOT seen the temp get over 100c with certain benchmark test.
Vellemo and Antutu you could see it trying and struggled just a little.
Kodi struggled a little showing 2 CPU one at 100% then the some Skipping noted.
Wifi speed is OK compared to others I use with the same setup/location
Updating apps/downloading from Google over wifi speed was good.
As this is the first of the Lollipop from Inphic there will be a few things to sort out.
The Guys at inphic appear to be having a go with products so we can hope for some good support.
I was hopping for a new Rom or update by now but with Holidays in China just finished can take a bit to get back into action
too much party time...
Overall a pretty good Unit a few updates needed and should be a handy streaming device for your collection
More as it comes

This Piece of Metal is above the CPU and could be utilised for a bit of cooling
That's one small PCB
No sticky pads just pop out Silicon type
Now for a bit of a fiddle
More to Come
Basic Test for Now
Bit of testing to see how things perform
Takes about 1 minute to boot from a cold start.
Remote performs fair with this device.
Now Using the Logitech K400r.
All setup easy. no problems found
1/8Gb not a snappy unit remembering the spec's and the price.
AnTuTU v 5.7 showing a score of just under 21,000
Ethernet connection OK WiFi tested Ok
Netflix in and tested Ok for this device
Plex a few Movies, TV shows Ok after uninstall and reinstall.
Not a beast, I feel you can make it do most things.
Yet to be tested
First firmware update is ready. Two ways to get it:
1. Install this APP for OTA service: http://www.inphic.com/download/download/5-spot-i5-ota-app
Just download the APP from the TV Box browser, install and open. Your SPOT i5 will detect the latest version of firmware and upgrade.
2. Download firmware file: https://mega.nz/#!zIljUBzL!wfBnfuOIbOOXv7NM2CLdNE_bC9ypKcIX1BBTfMPWUPg
Upgrade by using Amlogic burning tools
Firmwares under 20151113 does not support OTA, then, this APP is required. After install this version OTA will be there.
Latest firmware has root
Update Firmware with root
Attempt with the APP for OTA.
For me it dropped me to recovery and could not do much from there.
Hmm unsure what happened there.
On to the next option
Option 2 worked, downloaded burning tool from here http://chinagadgetsreviews.com/downl...-v2-0-4-3.html
Followed Instructions (pity cant see the reset button luckily I drilled it earlier) about 5 minutes to install new firmware.
i5 will sit at a loading screen while new firmware sets its self up. takes awhile so don't Panic.
Get greeted with new system to reset up, all apps wiped best to start fresh no junk in the trunk.
Remote works through complete process.
Version Now show KOT49H.20151113test-keys
I enlarged it as I prefer to use a tooth pick, a paper clip would fit, the idea sticking bits of metal in bothers me
Installed SU and Busybox looking good.
Ethernet cable
The Ethernet socket on the back and slightly under the dome can be a pain when removing the cable. One of these can help and makes things so much easier
This is probably the coming Inphic's launcher. Designed for TV Box:
● Android 6.0: Comparing to the former version, people can easily to install or uninstall applications and games.
● Amlogic S912 CPU with octa core will give you a marvelous and comprehensive experience.
● 2G DDR3 RAM 16G eMMC: It gives you more space to download your favorite apps to browse websites, play games, watch movies more smoothly.
● 4K x 2K H.265 decoding demonstrates the high-premium visual effects.
● The dual band WiFi can implement multi-task at the same time.
● H.265 and VP9 decoding will offer you high definition pictures and movies.
● Dolby plus DTS audio encoding bring the dynamic and surround sound.
Gearbest
Looks to have good ground clearance for the vents. Cable hang could cause a wheelie. SPDIF or A/V jack? Looking forward to reviews on the S912 devices.

I see after a closer look. Thanks for the YT.
Received this today, nothing on screen when plugged in, with multiple cables, on all inputs into working outlets. Remote doesn't do anything. What am I doing wrong?
I don't have one of these, but some general things to check. Any LEDs on? Do you have a way to check the power supply/power adapter?
Nope, no LEDs showing on box. Don't know how to test power adapter.
If you know someone with a multi-meter or other voltage tester, perhaps they could check it for you. If you want to try it yourself, it is a simple test and many cheap multi-meters are readily available for $7-$10(USD). Power adapters are relatively common fail point on these types of devices.
You could also find a substitute power adapter, but it is very important that the substitute matches the original. This information can be found on the power adapter....
-Volts DC=Volts DC(Must match exactly)
-Amps=Or greater
-Tip Polarity(Must match exactly) ie Tip positive or Tip negative, usually indicated by symbols like these...
-Connector size and type must match(fit)
So are the Nexbox A1, Yundoo Y2, Vensmile A1 all made by the same company, Shenzhen Visson Technology Co? Looks like they are the ODM for quite a few others as well.
It may help with potential firmware development.
Bought this box, and it is problems with Tvheadend and Amlogic S912 in Kodi. It will not use HW acceleration in HD Live TV. ?

Would anyone know where I can get un-rooted firmware for this box?
Just unroot the firmware? I need to do this as well, but havn't tried yet.

I'd like to know this as well if you ever find anything.
Today we can get the chance to have a look at the A95X Plus Amlogic 905Y2 4gb DDR4 + 32GB Ram Dual WiFi BT
Let's get looking:

What's in the Box: Very thin,
Ports, That's it no more.
Pop the base : Note heat sink slightly raised
Casing
Remove PCB
CPU Side
Other side: Not a lot here at all
Found Heat sink being raised by another component, removed and relocated back a little
As seem small PCB not bad looking,
Running 32bit Android 8.1 and must say its performing well:
A95X PLUS TV Box 4/32GB Amlogic S905 Y2 A8.1 Dual WiFi, BT4, DDR4
Start up very easy easy, with wizard
Wifi excellent on 5g and easy setup, Google login.
Update apps and installed testers etc all good.
Surprised to see upper and lower Bars and has a root switch
Bit more imagination with the launcher would be a nice change.
Bit of Junk in the Trunk, some may like.
Looks like Kodi/TVMC 17.6
DRM is Level 3, no HD Netflix 480 only
Remote working pretty good,
Temps also pretty cool if accurate.
No many ports, a USB Hub can take care of that
No Ethernet will upset some ,however I am finding WiFi is pretty good.
So far so good I guess pretty zippy
Lets look at some more:
Start up Wizard, UI and Installed apps etc
Push Menu Button a few time you get into the Self Test
DRM L3
Ram and Storage Truth
Antutu

Sd Card test
3DMARK
Give this a run, not expecting anything wonderful,
Just a bit of a IDEA like most bench test and scores.
Should do Ok for, for the less demanding Apps and Games.
YT with Current install version Playing 1080p max
Prime Video working 480p at a guess looks ok
As also Netflix 480p watchable on Under 40 inch TV easy.
I mentioned WiFi was good and connection 866 to router
More or Advanced settings, forgot to mention.
OTA updates.
Settings of Video yet to suss this one out
Installed the Microsoft Launcher was ok Remote got lost a bit.
Also Installed a BT remote, Mi Box, worked well no Talk option in this Rom
Would be great to see Devs get into this one,
Optimize it to the Hilt,
With pretty good Ram(DDR4), lots of it 4/32, Great Wifi, and can keeps its Cool with no vents.
Could be the next BIG little thing, for under $50
A95X plus 4/32
I have this box and I'm satisfied. IR remote is only bed side. Work only for distance of 2-3 meters. When remove plastic cover from box, then worked good. I planing to extend IR diodes with wires from board to outside. I think that's is good solution.
Now we get to have a closer look at the Alfawise T1 Mini PC - Intel Gemini Lake N4100 4GB DDR4 + 64GB ROM 802.11ac Gig Lan BT

What's in the Box
Bit of a look around lots of ports
My Fav Vents
Space for HDD/SSD
Small Vesa type Bracket to mount behind TV or Anywhere
On with some test, Startup and bit of a look around of Windows.
Unit fired up easy, all setup ready to go more or less, Activated all good.
Bit of a clean up of things I don't use cut down the start menu size,
Little bit of customising,
Do a Defender scan, start to install some testing programs.
Meantime WIndows Update has Started to do its thing, took about 1.5 hour plus by the time it downloaded and I was doing a defender scan... and mucking around but all good in the end, and on the latest I think from MS$..
The Update left about 30GB of the Previous windows on the Hard disk I quick clean and now 20GB used,
Running Just the Stock supplied version of windows no extra HDD etc and will see how it all goes.
WiFi ethernet all good and speeds excellent.
Setup etc all smooth no problems
The Alfawise T1 is moving along nicely, all good with Netflix, Apps etc, no DRM monkey business here.
for its CPU, Ram Size fixed at 4/64GB cant add but should be able to do most and for the price.
Benchmarks and Stuff to follow, just to give an Idea, we are aware it's not a Killer Speed Demon
Small Home Office, lots of uses, Heat No problem, No fan Noise.
Should be able to find a Use for it easy.
WIndows all Activated
Hdd and network easy found on boot
Device Manager Main Bits

Look at the Inside base Removed:
2 x 16gb Crucial DDR4 3200, Kingston 500g M2:
Space for a SSD up to 1TB and room for another M2:
MediaTek MT7921 Wi-Fi 6 Module:
A closer look:
Down the rabbit warren we go,
Power up lets see what happens.
Does have Windows 11 bonus and the Pro version.
Go thru the OOBE agreeing and disagreeing with MS$ lets see how this works out.
Win11 Pro great to see. Now to uninstall bloat and what we don't need and clean it up a little
Customising and removal of some apps:
I don't like the new Widgets thing waste of screen space
For those stuck in the past, Windows 3.1 was 30years old a day or so ago
Win11 is good,
Like always things new, things move to new location cant find this or that.
And of course compatibility with Older software DOS or WIN7 etc, usually a work around someplace, sometimes we hope.
Lets have a look see:
