Professional reviewers commend the KM2 Plus for its Netflix 4K certification, robust HDR and Dolby Atmos support, and the added convenience of a voice remote and Chromecast integration. They note the expanded USB and microSD ports as a clear advantage over rivals like Chromecast. However, they criticize the unchanged 2 GB RAM, modest CPU upgrade, and the 100 Mbps Ethernet limitation, positioning the device as a solid basic streaming solution rather than a premium offering.
Everyday users appreciate the straightforward setup, smooth 4K@60fps playback, and the ability to expand storage with external drives or an SD card. Common complaints revolve around the limited 2 GB RAM causing occasional lag, the small 16 GB internal storage filling quickly, and the lack of gigabit Ethernet.
Professional reviewers commend the GB1 as a high-performance Android TV mini box that delivers stunning 4K HDR with Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, thanks to its Realtek RTD1315C chipset and Mali-G57 GPU. They highlight its future-proof codec support (including AV1) and ultra-compact design, while noting the need for a USB-C hub for full HDR output and occasional heating during intensive gaming.
Everyday users praise the seamless Google Assistant voice control, pocketable size, and reliable 4K streaming on popular services, but commonly complain about the requirement for a USB-C hub, heating under load, limited internal storage, and the basic plastic build.
