MECOOL M8S PRO TV box

Mecool M8S Pro by Redskull Youtube review

Description: Mecool M8S Pro is the first Android TV box that uses both Amlogic S912 processor and Android 7.1.1 Nougat OS at the same time. Paired with 3GB of RAM and 16GB of ROM, this device should have a good performance. On top of that, it’s also coming with Kodi 17 and works very well with DTS and Dolby Digital. Although the AnTuTu benchmark test score is quite high, about 39316, many still claim that it isn’t as high as expected. Another letdown is the material that it's made of, because it is entirely made of plastic. That gives you a cheap sensation when you hold it.
