Today we have a look at the new Beelink GT1 Amlogic s912 2/16gb
A small and compact unit looks kinda groovy, performance so far looking good.
Just arrived a few hours ago so a bit of a Work in Progress with this review.
Dual band WiFi, 10.100/1000 lan and running Android 6.

So on the Bench for a few hours no major problems with the basic testing and performance is on par with other
S912 units I have tested, this unit keeps its cool and did not stress to much, Found WiFi and ethernet to be Ok
More testing in that area soon as with many other test,
More to come
Does this device come rooted ?
root
There is no root for GT1.
I wonder if the Geekbench 4 scores would differ from those posted here.
Also, it would be interesting to see how the S912 runs LibreELEC. Hopefully one will surface soon.

That was fast. Thanks for running the benchmark.
Looks great, professional test.
Just got mine in the mail. It appears to be a bit faster than my Ugoos UT4. Now I just need root access...

Hope he will support the A912 owners as well!
He just said he does not have it yet. I am pretty lucky to have one with 9377 WiFi/BT chip.
Sorry for the double post, I tested the custom ROM yesterday. Netflix works out of the box, without the need to modify anything. Everything else is pretty much the same. It does have some apps preinstalled that I do not want. I went back to the official one, especially since the guy in charge for the ROM does not have the device anymore and did not develop a version for the box with the other WiFi chipset.

I found the ROM quite a bit better then the 106 firmware.
-seemed a bit smoother (although this is highly subjective)
-kodi dark screen issue is gone
-I like the reboot app he added
-youtube works perfectly as is up to 1080p
most importantly, it looks like he might be continuing development, some of the members at freaktab are working to get him some donations so he can buy another GT1, hes very close to having the enough to buy another GT1.
I never had any black or green screen, none of those issues that some other people complained about with official firmware. I gave it away, since I got the Q10 Pro at a very good price. I will continue to monitor it because I gave it to a colleague and I want him to have the best experience he can get on the GT1.
You could get a GT1 for Free
Bit of a thing over at Freaktab
Leave a comment as per the instructions and you could win one.
Ends on the 30th of November
Gotta be in it to win it :good:

How do you think about this device? I will have a review for this model soon.
Let's talk the review, firmware, root, and other questions in this tread.
Im looking to buy one in the next week or so. I really excited about this device. I look forward to your review! Would this device also run the basic launcher as well as the android kitkat launcher? Thanks

Not quite just the wifi. Also hardware HEVC encoding, a speedier processor, gigabit ethernet...
I would love to take one of these devices for a test-drive! It looks really good, particularly with the added H.265 decoding and wireless AC

Been using it for a week, it runs like a standard Android box. I installed Nova Launcher on it and it worked fine.

Great video. Thanks so much. Quick question, have you installed plex? Does plex run smoothly? Thanks
root ????
hello is possible root for this model so I have a few days ago and I have not been able to do .thanks and greetings
Streaming TV apps
just few days ago got this device....
No Live Streaming TV app is running on it...tried multiple one (tv tunnel) screen become flicker and doted picture will be on screen.
no idea why it is happening ....
Greetings gentlemen. I'll be buying one of these for myself in the coming days (just waiting for my paycheck), hoping to have it relieve my Raspberry Pi from its current job.
However, my Pi is currently set with Deluge and Flexget so it autodownloads to the respective folders. Could any of you check if installing them is possible on the X-8 Plus? We have some instructions here on how to do it, and when I buy it I will make an attempt anyways, but knowing it in advance would be useful.
What the hell? EVERY other box does at least 1080p...
"**The NEO X8-H Plus only supports standard definition Netflix. Netflix 1080p HD and 4K UHD resolution are not available on any MINIX NEO Series devices."
Thats a BIG bummer
Anyway to root this device and install optware on it ?

You can root the MINIX Neo X8H-Plus using the iRoot application (or it's Chinese language parent, vRoot)
http://www.mgyun.com/m/en
Steps:
1. Turn on Developer mode by clicking on the BUILD entry in the ABOUT section in SETTINGS (click it at least 7 times)
2. Enable USB debugging
3. Install iRoot/vRoot on your PC
4. Connect the Neo X8H-Plus using the OTG cable (microUSB to USB cable included in box) to PC.
(Neo X8H-Plus needs to be connected to a display when doing this; also, a mouse would also be helpful)
5. After PC detects Neo X8H-Plus, run the iRoot/vRoot application and click on the CONNECT DEVICE button.
6. When iRoot/vRoot attempts to connect to your Neo X8H-Plus, a security warning will appear on the display. PERMIT access to the application in order for the iRoot/vRoot application to successfully connect to the Neo X8H-Plus
7. Once iRoot/vRoot is connected to your device, click the ROOT button
8. Wait until process is complete
Cheers!

After much tinkering, I was successful in my endeavours. I mostly followed this guide and am now the satisfied owner of a SSH'd with SFTP, Transmission'd and Samba'd X-8Plus.

I can attest to it, it was the method I used to root mine. It does install a couple of chinese apps while doing so, but nothing you can't remove after having it rooted.
Post is an and well what do we have here.....
Well packed.
Lets get started.
Processor 1.2GHz quad-core cortex A53 (64-bit) Allwinner
Storage 8GB or eMMC 16GB eMMC
Memory 1GB or memory 2GB memory
SizeHeight: 1.0 inch (2.6 cm)Length: 4.9 inch (12.4 cm)Width: 3.5 Inch (8.8 cm)
H.265 4K hardware decoding
1080P HDMI output

}
Plugged in and on,
Small green LED in the front and Its not to bright.
Remix Logo or F2 to enter recovery
Get greeted with language selection,
Set up WIFI 2.4 GHZ only then check for Update. (system has the Latest version)
The Remix Mini features a capacitive touch power button unlike any PC of its kind. Rather than awkwardly feeling around the back panel for that elusive power button, just gently tap the top of your Mini.
Within seconds you'll be able to start doing what you need to do.
Apply a bit of pressure to the Top of the box or one Tap, Unit goes to Standby mode....Nifty tap again to wake up.
Plugged in K400r Logitech, looking good.
Screen Capture has a resizable/Snap square to capture all/or any of the screen.
This Is going to fun, and it is after a few days
This is a fun box if such a thing can exist, very much like running a MS$ Windows, all similar features with desktop
Installed Apps appear as a shortcut on the desktop.
Right click copy and paste, Close or minimise Apps with corner icons,
Software detected and running in 64 bit mode. Antutu bench test score 2100 64 and 32 bit
WIFI speed Good, as ether,
Did the usual install a heap of apps at once from Play all apps in no lag.
Using apps require one click as we know and using Remix is more Double Click I have found, may be a setting somewhere.
1920 x 1080 test
1280 x 720 test
Circle is the show desktop button.
Flyout window on the right click 3 horizontal lines Lower R/H.
Customise Icons on Lower Task bar as well as Hide lower task bar.
10th November Netflix is now Working.
Plex In and running looking good.
In the Left Corner of the screen there is a back Button for Remix this appears to interfere with apps that have a back button in the same location
Plex and Antutu Video tester so far I have come across.
Changing Resolution 1280 x 720 to 1920 x 1080 requires a restart how
windows 95 is that.
Some minor issues with running certain apps don't like being in a window environment but all will be sorted by the people at JIDE
This O/S could be a big game changer.

Hi there!!!
I have one it's a fantastic device, but it still have some problems. The worst, in my opinion, it is that third-party applications are not allowed to write in external drives.

Absolutely true, I tested this feature yesterday and now the REMIX works like a charm.
now Premium Play (italian app) don't works and Plex stops film's view after 20 seconds and returns to home
Edit. Since the WiFi antenna is covered could it be possible to use a more powerful own WiFi antenna modifying the software?

If you are handy with a soldering iron, and working with the connection as seen on the PCB you could attach an external Antenna that may improve performance or check channel allocation maybe find a clearer/less used channel.

Tell me which app can make icons bigger?
I love it!!!!
I can watch Netflix, Twitch and YouTube. Play Hearthstone and MK. Best investment ever! Keep up the great work

Currently use wifi at home.
Haven't tried the ethernet yet, but wifi was working fine.
It did have its hiccups at the beginning and once I updated to the latest release it was coming together. I did notice on Twitch that once you clicked on the pop out window it would get stuck on the right corner of my screen, without being able to close out or anything. I would have to quit Twitch and get into it again.. other than that everything was good!

Here we have the new Amlogic 912
Thanks To Shenzhen Shiningworth
There has been a bit chat around the last week about this device, what we have is the Amlogic S912
Will do a Bit of a review with tear down and first boot look
Amlogic S912 A53 2.0GHz ARM Mali-820MP3 ~750MHz
2GB/16GB eMMC TF card to 32GB.
HDMI 2.0a 4K @ 60Hz, CEC, HDR and AV port (cable not supplied)
SPDIF, 10/100 Ethernet, WiFi 2.4/5ghz and BT 4.0
USB 2.0 x 2, and 1 x OTG.
IR receiver, status and network LEDs
5V/2A power pack No AU at this stage.
Included HDMI Cable, Power Pack Remote and Instructions.
Well packaged professional look, Black Packaging with Gold Lettering and not covered in the usual hype as seen on some.
Good Solid Little box look well made all Alloy Well Vented Base.
No Heat sink as you will see but some Thermal Pad stacked between CPU and Box Lid, will see how it goes may add a bit of copper shim between the Pads
to give it a bit more pressure against the CPU and Lid,
if it runs cool may not be required.

Bit of a look on the Inside:
Look at the bits that make it Tick:
As you will see fired up nice and quick first boot, I quickly tested remote, good coverage.
Good looking UI something a little different and boots fairly quick.
A quick look around the UI.
https://youtu.be/FQ8u6mHz1N4
Now that's the easy part done now for some BenchMarks soon to see what this beast can do.
First impressions looks good, solid feel and presented well.
Great Looking UI and appears well made
Update with some Benchmarks
First the Quirky bits I have found while testing so far
When using Keyboard (k400 plus Logitech), pressing enter gives you a Q on screen, other keyboard command appear to work fine just can push enter to complete line entry
Some apps I used for testing will not Rotate and stay Portrait in Landscape, some will start/intro sideways then rights itself in main application other times just runs sideways.
Could be Apps or Android 6, yet to try any orientating Apps and setting in Android 6 does nothing at present.
No upper or lower task/Notification bar at present, maybe a Android 6 thing
ALT and Tab lets you scroll thru recent apps, Hold Alt you can Close or Pick app you require.
WiFi is Ok appears to like Higher Channels on 2.4ghz
Working well at 5Ghz and ethernet 10/100 OK.
Now for some Benchmarks for those who need to see the Numbers
How compatible these bench testing Apps are going to be I guess we will find out as we go along
Temps while Running these test mostly around 50c most mid to high 40's
3Dmark and Antutu took it mid 50's and it struggled with Slingshot 3dmark.
Temps running in Upper centre of screen only an indication accuracy not guaranteed.
CPU-Z with the some Info
DRM level 3 had a quick look at Netflix No Hd but very watchable
Vellamo and the scores
Antutu Scores OK
An Oldy but the Numbers look good :biggrin-new:

3DMark tried with Slingshot but could not make it happen to well, but things kicked into gear with other tests below

I think all S912 boxes now just driffent brands. Do we flash same rom to them?
No they are not all the same, if you flash the wrong one you can lose wifi etc bt or worse hardbrick the box(bootloader)!
Hi can someone please provide the link for stock firmware for this device.because need to send it back to seller.thanks
Hi there, this is my first thread. Just trying to list some of the things the G7's S845 chipset and underlying Android Oreo OS would allow for but which are not available in the current state of the LG G7. This concerns the European model, although it may share the feature aspects with its other counterparts.
I shall concentrate on the sheer existence of a feature, not on how one likes or even needs it. This aims to avoid posts like "yeah, it's not there but nobody needs it anyway" and ensuing discussions of any kind.
Feel free to correct me on my conclusions and also add your points if you like. I aim to update the list in a timely manner.
Reference docs and links
Link to the Snapdragon's 845 capabilities: https://www.qualcomm.com/snapdragon/processors/comparison
And in more detail (plus PR speak): https://www.qualcomm.com/products/snapdragon-845-mobile-platform
Android Oreo (PR and overview): https://www.android.com/versions/oreo-8-0/
GSMArena's feature and spec overview (not to be taken as 100% accurate)
Hardware stuff
Qualcomm Quick Charge 4 technology
Is it available? Does the included charger support it? My current understanding (source: threads in this forum) leads me to think that there's a Quick Charge 3 charger and technology in use.
USB C to HDMI and/or DisplayPort
Not sure if this is a dedicated hardware limitation (missing chip, etc.) or something LG has disabled in the OS. I haven't tried this output method so far but from forum reports, it seems like it's not available.
[Edit] Seems like LG disabled it.
Software items (might overlap with hardware stuff at times)
Ultra HD 4K (3840x2160) 60fps video recording
[Edit] Came with "V10f" update in July. It therefore is available.
Slow motion HD (720p) video up to 480fps or FHD (1080p) up to 240fps
I saw the 240fps feature being available but only in 720p whereas the Snapdragon is capable of 480fps at that resolution.
Android Guest mode (account). What is this?
There's an option to add other accounts on your device but not the dedicated "guest" feature which enables some more restrictive rights than just adding another user.
WIFI calling (VoWiFi)
[Edit] available since the update -see VoLTE text for details-
Voice over LTE (VoLTE); VoWIFI
[Edit] There was an update today which seems to have added some carriers, which includes mine. I guess LG is on it to provide the functionality to more people as it becomes more relevant.
Additionally, the corresponding update is called ""VoLTE VoWIFI Enabler" and came automatically via the integrated updater. So there's reason to believe that VoWIFI also gained more support (which I cannot test personally). I shall mark both points as being available form now on.
Format SD card as internal storage
Does not work. Enforcing "allow apps on external" via developer options does not touch on this functionality but may serve to help in some cases where apps, by default, do not offer the option to use the sd card.
Scramble PIN entry keypad
A small item, but I kinda liked it in other OS versions. I actually have that option with other phones but not with the LG G7.
(auto) "OK" after PIN entry
Adding to the above item, it would be neat to not being bound to press ok after entering the correct PIN.
Use volume keys (long press) to change to next/previous track
I'm actually amazed that this feature isn't available. Seems like a trait most original OS implementations share, while every custom ROM I owned of course supported it.
Misc
(Officially) Unlocked bootloader
[Edit] Done: https://www.xda-developers.com/international-lg-g7-bootloader-unlock/
G6 didn't, and someone else here mentioned that the G7 doesn't either, support video out with a USB-C to HDMI cable.

That's a point to make indeed, but can we deduct that it should work from the specs of the chipset and/or the Oreo features and that LG has just disabled the feature?
Anyway, I shall add it to the hardware section. Thanks for the input.
Actually, G7's bootloader is unlockable in Europe, see https://www.xda-developers.com/international-lg-g7-bootloader-unlock/
And another thing, I'm on V10d branded TIM IT (which is my SIM provider) and I have VoLTE without doing anything in particular (screenshot attached).

Ah, must have missed that. Will edit my list to reflect it. Thanks for the heads-up.
And on the VoLTE feature, as mentioned in the list, it seems like it's a combination of vendor and carrier work, so it shall remain in the index for as long as some fellows still report the lack of the feature while using major carriers in their country. O2 for example is not supporting it in full, although they are selling the device.
I will update the list accordingly.
USB C to HDMI and/or DisplayPort
It is a shame.
Lg has disabled this feature via software.
I have revised the kernel sources and you can see that they have disabled it.
Furthermore when you connect a displayport adapter, the smartphone detect it properly and told you that is not allowed. If somebody konw how to compile a new kernel we may take back this great feature.
Kernel source:
http://opensource.lge.com/osSch/list...ME&search=G710
You can compare it with lg v30 or galaxy s9, both support HDMI output.View attachment 4542686

May you can move this issue to ROM, Kernel Section? I am sure that a good developer can solve this problem and take back HDMI output.

Not sure how to move things but I've added a heads-up to my signature, so that other folks are able to see our small list and perhaps add to it or even work on enabling certain features.
LG g7 Indonesia supports HDMI out, adoptable storage
G7 camera sensor (imx351) only supports up to 240fps
QC4 / USB PD is locked at 18W max
Thanks for those details. Do you happen to have some sources for them?
Android Pie update brings this feature to LG G7 . Just got the update today and tested this function. Soon after connecting, get black bars on all 4 sides. Just pinch out, you get a normal display on TV. Nice
EU, almost same changelog as the India update shared previously

You are right. Don't know why, but right after update I only had 4 modes available. Checked it again, now I have 5 as before.
Whatever happened here.
How to updated and keep root ?

Same as always. Install update, DO NOT REBOOT, in Magisk choose to install to inactive slot, reboot.
If you have magisk modules enabled you might want to disable or uninstall those before installing the update as some modules can cause the device to boot loop after an update.
Thanks, works great
Anyone else WiFi is pretty slow to reconnect to your router after every reboot or when you turn wifi off and back on

Just a note to people like me waiting for AA global - I was told by OnePlus that it should come out in the next few days.
Was also told it comes later because the India and European updates are regional, and AA is global, so there is more work needed to prepare it for all the rest
Can someone Co firm that this update do not removes nor modify the color camera?
Is there any camera improvement that is worth the upgrade?

Have seen nothing on the upcoming AA, but should be the same as the ones out already. So check them out.
The change log report the add of the h.265 code to the video. That would be a nice improvement
