Just found this coupon TBC17061 they have a banner when viewing a handful of budget boxes I found this to reduce it to £14.50 great for a secondary box for bedroom or holiday.
No bluetooth and no airplay, but for £14.50 I'm sure it will be great for basic multi-media and streaming and web browsing.
Probably the cheapest I've seen a box in a long time.
Be sure to choose UK plug and drop shipping and priority UK shipping. This will arrive within two weeks and helps to avoid customs charges though for £14.50 you should be exempt.
RK3299 processor and 1GB ram Android 5.1 it's not the latest version of Android but it wont be hard to side load apps as long as they don't require 64BIT processors.
Quick little side note these plugs may not have the EU / UK safety marks which is what I found with a different brand of box, to avoid this I purchased a DC to USB cable and now using a 5V 2a USB mains plug which is handy as I charge my phone and other devices from the same plug. I can confirm when my box arrives what size DC connector this box uses but my other box shares the same size as a Playstation Portable would have used.
Enjoy the deal, other boxes also are accepting this coupon but you will need to login / create an account to redeem.

Do not buy 1GB ram TV boxes, you will regret it. It needs to have at least S905X SoC, 2GB ram and Android 6.0. Heat down for this.

Definitely not accurate. 2GB minimum I am guessing is to play high draining games but to watch TV, movies, streaming 1GB is no problem.

I have the same one bought last year from Gearbest. Works fine with Kodi pre-installed however, the version of Kodi being used may be out of date but you can easily remove the app and reinstall the latest from Googleplay which from last week was v17. From there you can do all the wonderful media player things this box can do after a bit of searching.

Can you recommend a good one at a decent price then please? I'm looking for one for bedroom preferably "fully loaded" and ready to go as I've never used one before. Thanks

I have this: ebay.co.uk/itm…C64 But basically any box with Android 6.0+ and 2GB+ and S905x+ is fine. Best one is on S912 SoC, but is around £50

Please explain, freaktab user comments are plentyful and other than these 1GB boxes not handling 4K that well and limited support for games from the store. Can confirm from a comment that emulation is doing well on these boxes (PSone, SNES, N64). The box specification you speak of cost almost double it depends on what you plan on doing with the box but I'm having this as a secondary box.
I've been buying these devices ever since the MK808 about four years ago and 1GB wasn't an issue back then on Android 4.2 I believe or which ever 4.X version of Android these came loaded with.
Performance with 1GB ram comes down to the rom loaded and comments point to the 5.1 Android boxes performing better than the 6.1 rom and modified roms do exist for these boxes.

I've got a identical spec one from gearbest that was posted on here about a month ago for about £17, runs the latest SPMC (kodi) perfect with the cosmic saints 4k build. loading time is slightly slower than my 2gb/32gb box but for the money can't fault it.

Always time to get another. The biggest kick in the teeth was selling it, then getting an e-mail off somebody offering a grand more lol. But I'm starting my new valeting venture, just about to order a wet vac lol
