Updated 2026-10-20

Spec sheets on cheap boxes routinely claim chips they do not contain. A quick benchmark plus two system checks settles it.

How to install

  1. Install AnTuTu TV via sideload
  2. Run the full test and note the score
  3. Compare against the claimed chip's typical score online
  4. Check Settings > About for the real Android version
  5. Check the codec list with a media info app for claimed 4K support
