Good question. Yes, It will get normal Android TV app updates as expected. The unknown is if Kinhank themselves develop and put out firmware upgrades, which might include stepping up to Android TV 12 or even Android TV 14 (Google themselves halted development on Android TV 13)

As far as I know, there is only one version of the kinhank G1. If the listing says S905X4 , it's almost certainly the same S905X4-J chip. The G1 handles 4K just fine - Netflix, RUclips, Prime etc, etc. The Aida64 results showed 1920x1080 because it was connected via capture card to my PC monitor which is only 1080.

@@WOTBoxTV thank you

Great review

@@hamada6719791 Thank you!

Unless that dog is barking incredibly loudly, I'd say definitely, yes. They do a great job in blocking out external noise. Remember, these earbuds are not noise cancelling per se, they are noise blocking.

Good question. I no longer have the device, but from memory, I think that if you pressed the power button (when it was on), it'd turn off only the device and not the TV.

One of my daughters has "claimed" them lol. She also really likes them. 😃

Thank you!

many more planned and in the pipeline - just a question of getting onto them...

Thanks! My ONN 4k Pro's being delivered today! So I'll do my best to get it out very soon (no promises)

Enjoy!

Thanks!

Cheers matey! Good device, with the stated limitations.

The only thing I can say that I wish was when u switch to Bluetooth mode the drivers had the capability to give you enough volume strength for “sound effects for a movie “. I wear b Headphones to sleep or watching movies laying down so would love to lay on my side watch a movie with this and it’s possible but not enough “juice “ ya know? However what they are made for. Specifically a sleep bud for people going to sleep and keeping people asleep. They did a great job I can’t complain. I’m Asking for Something that really hasn’t been manufactured yet (maybe never will be). Not sure the market for what I’m taking about is big enough 😊

I don't see a setting to lower that volume message either

Support replied They don't admit it's a bug even though the A10 are silent when you turn off the prompt. They asked if I'd like it silent or of a lower volume. Saying they are gathering feedback for upcoming improvement. When we think of it, who needs a prompt yelling at you to let you know you just swapped to Bluetooth. When you do swap, you know since you can start music or podcast. When you swap to sleep mode you know because you can start the sleep sound

How's noise cancelling? do they effectively mask sounds around you?

@@ElectricEel-zb8rl They're not active noise cancelling per se, more like noise blocking with with their sealed ear tips (as opposed to their breathable ear tips). My youngest daughter has now "claimed them as hers, and she loves them. 😃

You can have more apps in the background with more RAM, but how many people would benefit is debatable. Then again, you can guarantee that there would be loads of comments along the lines of "2GB of Ram is not enough these days"

@@WOTBoxTV Agreed, and the look on their faces when they learn that the top dog in streaming boxes, the Nvidia Shield, only has 3gb of Ram.

Couple of issues as I am not based in the UK (in Spain). ITVX and ALL4 "work" yes, but usually hvae to be sideloaded. I no longer have the box so can't check them now. That said, the All4 app is clunky at best as it's not an Android TV compatible app (it's designed for a touch screen and not for remote controlled navigation), so you have to sideload it/them. Some apps are only available on a location basis. I have a huge backlog of videos and projects atm so it could be awhile before maybe making a video on the Google Play Store. PS Remote Play is available in the AndroidTV Play Store - a paid app which costs €7.49 here Hope this helps

Techdoctoruk has under Tutorials on his website customised versions of BBC iPlayer, ITVX, Chanel5 & UKTV apps that all work flawlessly on this box, exactly as they do on the Firestick/Firecube. Channel4 still being worked on ...

I didn't use Tivimate with the Kinhank G1 so am unable to comment in that respect. That said, I have the Chromecast with Google TV and it can in terms of power if used with external storage and an alternative PSU... Recommendations? The Kinhank would probably be OK for your needs. Also, I use Nvidia Shields as daily drivers and also a Homatics Box R 4K Plus. Both will also handle what you want to do.

@@WOTBoxTV Thanks, I will try it and share my results

I have received the Kinhank G1 and have tried recording on my NAS via Tivimate. Everything works properly and the playback of the recordings is excellent. The only downside is that several streaming applications for local content cannot be installed because these applications do not seem to support this version of Android TV 11.

Hmm, you may have to try and contact the respective app developers to update their apps(?)- That said, Android TV 11 isn't that recent, so a little surprising.

You might need to go into developer options* then scroll down to near the bottom and click on "Force allow apps on external". Then you might have to reinstall those apps. * IF you don't have Developer Options enbled you can do that by going to settings-Device preferences-about-Build and click on that 7 times until you see a message popup saying something like "You are now a developer"... press the back button once and then you should see the developer options section

Even though I didn't test audio 5.1 specifically, I'm wondering if it's a platform related issue? So if the issue is on, say, Netflix, did you check on another like Prime video? But yeah, it seems like there's no "perfect" box that satisfies everyone's criteria.

@@WOTBoxTV Netflix Dolby Atmos works fine so does dolby digital it's just DTS audio can't get sound. Apart from that it's a great 1st box.

@@amandaglover9672 looks like it'll have to go into a bedroom, guest room or kids room where you just have a TV and not an AVR or soundbar. Good luck, thanks for letting me know about your issue.

The word from Anker was they'll be launched in the UK, and Amazon, "in May". All I can suggest is to keep checking. Good luck!

@@WOTBoxTV Thanks

My daughter has been using them and she said yes, they work OK on both.

U can use anything. In Bluetooth mode. Can i oh air to a nvudua shield or Apple Music or watch movies or any music app

I'll check it out! Thanks!

I no longer have this box, gave it away. Are you saying it updated to Android 12? Good to know. Oh,and I have a video on the 8010 (much improved specs all round) in the pipeline....just editing footage I shot about nine months ago (yeah, I lost my way a bit for a while).... Should have the 8010 video out in the next week or two.

@@WOTBoxTV yes the 8000 updates android from android 10 in the box to android 12 in use. I look forward to your 8010 review not available in UK but Europe its available. Great to have your input.

@@darrell4328 thanks for the info, good one.

Many thanks Darrell mate! 👍👍

She's laid claim to them!

Using my link helps the channel - many thanks!

Thanks very much! Appreciate your comments and support!

What you have already more than covers your needs, BUT as you also have a growing collection,I think this is one you'd like....it's similar in specs to the KM2 Plus Deluxe but without the gbit LAN...all else is the same...

Thanks a lot! Appreciated.

The Nokia 8010 is a great box indeed! Though steps up a litte in price (about20 GBP more). In my top 5 new boxes over the last 18 months! I have the 8010 review footage ready to edit (in the queue along with other boxes). The 8010, along with the Homatics Box R 4K Plus and the RokTek G2 (all manufactured by SEI Robotics) are all clones of each other with identical specs but with differing cases and remotes. There is a fourth, based on the Homatics, branded by DuneHD called the Dune HD Homatics Box R 4K Plus, but with the addition of the optionto install the Dune HD media center.

The G1 has more up to date hardware (compared to the Xiaomi) and gives a better bang for your buck imo. Comparing to the Mecool KM2 Plus Deluxe (the latest device from them), they have MANY similarities....same 2xUSB 2.0 USB, MicroSD slot, and the same processor (the very recent S905X4-J) etc. The Mecool has 1Gbps Ethernet whereas this is 100Mbps. On price the Mecool costs around $25-$30 more after discounts so, unless that Ethernet port is a major need for you, I'd probably get the Kinhank. At the end of the day, it all depends onyour own type of usage. BTW, I am in the process of reviewing the Mecool, video out in the next 2 weeks...

Curious as to why you think the GT King "is better". I agree the Onn is a MONSTER in terms of value for money! A terrfic device - I love mine. That said, it doesn't compete in terms level of expandability/hardware/specs.

Oh and the "no navigation bar" bit...do you mean the bar at the bottom? That's because it runs vanilla Android (not Android TV OS). Certainly has powerful hardware at a higher price - about twice the price (?)

@@WOTBoxTV My Gt king does everything I throw at it and has never let me down plus no joke it runs 24/7 like to see another box run like that and she's 5 year's old 👍

Yep, like I said, the negatives would be cons for some people, but not for my usage and overall, I think this is a well-rounded great value device with great specs and value for money. One of my 5 fave new boxes to have come out in the last 18 months. Enjoy your new toy!

The Button Mapper app handles that, as long as the button hasn't been hardcoded in the remote's firmware. In the case of this Kinhank G1 device, 3 of the 4 quick access buttons can be remapped, the fourth (the Netflix button) can't. Covered this at 13:10 in the vid

Some times with 4 shortcuts depending on the device you can’t. Re map. But covered that in his video

Cheers Scotty, always appreciate your support!

Good question. I can't give you a definitive yes, nor no as I no longer have the Nokia box...but... I have the Homatics Box R 4K Plus, which is also made by SEI Robotics like the Nokia, and it also has a type C port (which can be used in the same way as the Nokia in that it can power the device from a phone charger etc). Any how, I've just tested a 1gbpbs adaptor through that port an nope, it didn't work. So I'd guess that one would work on the Nokia either.

Many thanks good sir!

Nope, I didn't/haven't tested battery life at 100% volume. As I gave them to my daughter, I'll ask her to do the tests if and when she can

Yep, i see your confusion. Playback from the fully charged buds is 14 hours (or 10 depending on the mode selected - playback or sleep mode). That is increased by recharging (in the case) to up to 80 (or 55). The case will run out of charging power after those 80 (or 55) hours You can't listen to the buds whilst they're in the case. Hope this helps. (?)

​@@WOTBoxTV Ah, that makes sense! The case itself, unplugged but fully charged, can dispense a total of 55 to 80 hours of charge onto the buds, which can hold 10 to 14 hours of charge at a time. Nice. I just ordered a pair on Kickstarter because of your video!

@@jasonq8144 Enjoy them! I'm confident you won't be disappointed.

Thanks! Appreciate your comment!

Who knows? I don't, but maybe they'll be available soon...

I've messaged the soundcore team - let's hope they can give you an answer soon.

@@WOTBoxTV Cheers!

@@Chris.P.Noodle Just got an email back from them. "These buds haven't launched in the UK yet" If I hear more, I'll come back to you

@@WOTBoxTV Ok. Thanks for the info.👍

@@Chris.P.Noodle Just received a second email to my query and soundcore say they'll more than likely launch in May and that they will send me a link at that time.

I haven't tried them for gaming though will try to test them tomorrow if I get a moment with an nvidia Shield TV box.

Aha, my daughter used the C30i buds this afternoon and she played The Simpsons Tapped Out on her phone. She said there was no lag at all.
