Review Android Box M8S perfomance
Bought this android box from AliExpress . Main reason is because i had cancelled my paid tv. The package come along with remote control and Touchpad Air Mouse/wireless keyboard. The device powered by Android 4.4 KitKat. Its not just support 1080, but also up to 4K Ultra HD. And yes its support both WiFi and LAN. Here few things i can review about this android box m8s perfomance so far.
Using this box, you can install Kodi and watch bunches of movies, live streaming and content all over the world. There are a lot of addons support. I usually refer to https://seo-michael.co.uk/ for updated addons. You can check lots of addons available or how to install addons itself. Even you can check tips related
If you still not enough with only Kodi, you still can install Youtube, or any android apps you want, or even games
As far im using this box, never having issue except first time use i need to re-install all because the apps is outdated. The box is quite fast, never hang(so far) or overheated even for a long use. Not sure either because im using it just to streaming purpose or not.

Things i dont like
