Beelink GT1 Android TV Box Octa Core Amlogic S912

Straight out of the box Beelink GT1 looks very attractive. Small form factor, very slim, less weight and made with some premium metal. I tested the box for whole day. Installed many apps including IP TV setup and noticed only little warm unlike some of the boxes that I owned before were very hot with couple hours usage. I like the two USB ports. I connected Microsoft wireless keyboard mouse combo receiver to one of the USB ports. No setup required. Easy to operate like plug and play. One can be used for media and one for external keyboard/mouse receiver.

Box is very light weight. Remote looks like a standard simple Roku like remote. Slim and user friendly. Setup is very easy and quick. Connected power and HDMI cable. Box turned on with bee-link colorful intro and went into standard interface which looks pretty simple and attractive. Connected to wireless AC. My 100mbps internet connection showed in speed test around 50mbps in wireless mode and 97mbps via ethernet cable. Kodi 16.1 jarvis pre installed in the box. Installed Netflix and Youtube apps. Played 1080p videos in 5.1 surround with full screen. Interface is good. Smooth, no lags at all. I believe that is because of 2GB RAM and Octa core processor. There is one updater app pre installed in the box for OTA update. Overall i am very happy with the specs and performance. I did hours of research online by comparing all the other boxes that are coming with S912 processor. This stands the best with VP9, 4K 60p, H265 and HDR compatibility. I definitely recommend this box to anyone looking for a best budget friendly android smart TV box with S912 processor + 2GB Ram this is the one.

produit + que idéal
seul faiblesse la télécommande qui n\'est vraiment pas pratique d\'utilisation
je pense que je vais me commander un petit clavier + tracpad sans fil.


Au déballage :
Produit très beau avec le boitier + le cordon secteur + la télécommande (sans pils) + une notice inutile.

Premier démarrage :
Très simple, rien à faire hormis le brancher sur secteur.
Le produit démarre tout seul
Une connexion au WiFi + 1 compte Google pour télécharger des applications et vous pouvez faire tout ce que vous voulez (identique à un smartphone et/ou tablette sous Android)

Utilisation :
Produit relativement bien conçue car pas de latence.
Je l\'ai acheté pour une utilisation sur une télévision (chambre) dans le but de regarder de la vidéo et/ou série en streaming. Résultat TOP du TOP.
J\'ai joué un peu avec en installant plusieurs applications différentes et toute fonctionne sans problème, hormis l\'ergonomie avec la télécommande.

Conclusion :
Je le recommande pour toutes les personnes voulant faire passer les télé HDMI en SmartTV.
Rapport Qualité/Prix imbatable
A l\'ouverture, pensez juste à prévoir un Clavier/souris, qui me parait indispensable.

En espérant que cela puisse aider les futures acheteurs.
Je re-posterai un avis dans le cas d\'une désillusion au fur et à mesure de l\'utilisation.

Bien à vous
PEACE

No external antenna although the wifi receptio is really good

Le cinque stelle sono dovute per l'imbattibile rapporto qualità/prezzo.
Il GT1 è un buon tv box android, molto veloce e fluido nell'interfaccia. Il wi fi non è molto potente e con il primo firmware rilasciato si disconnetteva qualche volta in maniera random anche con router nelle vicinanze (1,5 metri).
Il telecomando è funzionale, ma per poterlo utilizzare va sempre puntato verso il box. Ho attaccato un semplice mouse wireless e l'esperienza cambia in positivo. E' come usare un PC. All'interno si trovano alcuni programmi pre installati come ad esempio Kodi. Kodi ha parecchi add-on già pre installati e pertanto ho preferito disinstallarlo e ripartire da una configurazione pulita. L'aggiornamento del firmware è frequente (sono al terzo aggiornamento in 1 mese) e funziona bene via OTA. La visualizzazione dei filmati è ottima. E' un prodotto che consiglio, in particolare se utilizzato con connessione ethernet.

Packaging - looks very premium-like.
Product - quality processing.
Remote control - simple, ergonomic, easy to operate.
EU Plug - ok
HDMI Cable - ok

After unpacking the product out of the box, I was pleasantly surprised at how little Beelink GT1. The product looks very well treated. The edges are nicely rounded and premium-like product color looks. The remote control fits nicely in your hand and very quickly get used to it. HDMI cable and plug EU OK.

Android interface is very brisk and the main screen is very clear and easy to understand. After turning everything works well.

I am glad I bought this product.
I recommend.

its finally here after waiting. the box as usual, pretty dented but its okay

this is my first media player other than google chromecast. i thought its gonna be like plugging android smartphone to hdmi. turns out its faster :)

the 2gb ram is pretty good enough, better than using normal smartphone with hdmi at least. you can view the file from external hdd pretty quickly, install the apps quickly, it comes with rooted, only need to install busybox/supersu

only tired 1080p, but hey its good enough. voice come out naturally too. using wireless mouse its quickly responsive. basically its fast cheap and useable rather than lower media box. doesnt need to plugged out too to turned off

Suggestion

i cant update it via ota. tried once and its failed, and the os is gone OMG
took me few hours to figure out how to re-install by reading beelink forum. i will never NEVER update os again.

other than that, the microsd slot is fragile/crude. it took a few tries to successfully insert it. also using microsd as storage BROKE my microsd. i thought its because formatting it to internal storage, but the external one have some problem too after i remove them and read in pc

Beelink at first glance makes a very good impression. It is a small, very well and solidly made TV Box, with great attention to details. TV Box looks really nicely. Launcher looks very simple, easy and friendly navigation. Everything worked stable and very quickly without delays. The Beelink GT1 without problem plays movies with the resolution of 480p,720p and 1080p (24fps, 30fps, 60fps) and also 4K (60fps) with various codecs video such as H.264,H.265, MPEG2, MPEG4, RMVB and audio – DTS and AC3. Dolby Digital 5.1 passthrough worked fine via HDMI. Beelink GT1 addition to good performance and specifications, also has a very good price. It is good value for money

Nothing so far, everything works perfectly.

Un producto a muy bien precio que cumple con todo lo que anuncia, he tenido otros pero este es muy superior, no se fijen en el mas barato, porque luego vienen los problemas, y por un poco mas tienes este.

Solo la caja y presentación demuestra la calidad del producto, cuando tienes en la mano el Tv Box, ahí te das cuenta que no es un simple TV Box chino...tiene muchisima calidad.

Ocho nucleos, 2GB Ram, 16 Gb ROM, y Android 7.1.2 que ya venía actualizado su ultimo firmware, tiene soporta de la marca y dispones de una web para ello.

Este 7.1.2 en este Tv Box anda perfectamente, no he tenido cierres inesperados o cuelgues, es el Tv Box mas estable que he tenido nunca y le doy un 10 la verdad.

Suggestion

Quizás se caliente un poco, entre 48 y 53 grados según CPU-Z pero es normal ya que ahora el verano pega fuerte.

Very small and stylish. Really fast, handles all apps I throw to it, even games. The 2gb of RAM make it very responsive handling several apps. It plays perfectly any video, including 60fps videos and 4k videos. You can install any app from the play store without any problems. With the last update you have root access, which is simply amazing cause now you can customise the box just like you want to. The Bluetooth connection is really handy to use controllers for gaming or headsets. I recommend using an airmouse, the usage experience is much better.

Suggestion

Sometimes the Bluetooth connection is a bit glitchy and self disconnects. The included remote sucks and it is very difficult to control the device properly, you should buy an airmouse to avoid struggling with that useless thing. The native UI is very dull and doesn't look nice, but that is just my personal opinion, some people might like it. I installed nova launcher and it looks really nice. I personally prefer to have a familiar interface.
