Review: Excellent Android TV Box - There are a number of excellent written and video reviews of this product, so I won't reiterate their content. I now own 2 of these from desertcart, having used the first for 6 months and been very pleased with it. It takes some work to optimize the performance of the Minix - check out the U8K-Ultra forums. Also, if you use Kodi, check out the Android Kodi wiki. I use the Minix primarily as a canned media player with Kodi, and Kodi's setup is a little tricky to get it right, especially if you have thousands of files. Also, if you have stuttering issues, try tweaking the Kodi caching under the Settings/Services menu and the buffer settings under the Settings/System menu. If you want access to ALL of kodi's settings, make sure you enable the EXPERT option on the left sidebar. One recommendation; while the remote is OK, I much prefer the Logitech K400 Plus Android keyboard as a input device. Also, the Minix is compatible with large hard drives - my 16TB USB connected drives work fine. Sometimes either the touchpad or the keyboard navigation keys quit working. Restarting the Minix solves the problem. Lastly, it would be nice if the Minix was compatible with USB external optical dives. This feature would allow it to completely replace DVD and blu-ray players.
Review: Performance beast and extraordinary image quality - As an avid tech enthusiast and movie buff, the MINIX U8K-ULTRA Smart TV Box has truly exceeded my expectations. Powered by the robust Amlogic S928X-K processor, this device is a beast in terms of performance. This product boasts exceptional image quality—utterly crisp and perfect for my at-home movie nights! In addition to allowing me to directly input the desired numbers, this remote control stands out from other products by enabling website entry—truly a unique design. Furthermore, it boasts the capability of voice input, which significantly saves a lot of time and eliminates hassle. I must emphasize that MINIX's customer service level is unmatched among many sellers. When I initially struggled to understand how to operate the remote control, seeking their help yielded patient and thorough guidance. If you encounter issues with using the remote control, just like I did, you can reach out to MINIX's official email, and they will provide operational videos. You can also find the technical support email in the product's user manual.

### ⭐ What happened to Minix?
*by C***E on July 29, 2025*

I reordered and received the Minix U8K Ultra. I had hoped that after all this time, the developers would have resolved many, if not all, of the bugs and introduced some new features. There are new features available under Minix Settings in the latest firmware. Be sure to check them out! I have had challenges getting certain apps to function correctly. Some apps integrated into the latest firmware present issues. One integrated app/icon in my applications list is non-functional and I cannot remove or uninstall it. I had to resort to one of the various app stores to download a properly functioning version of that app. Consequently, I ended up with two app icons, of which only one will operate. The settings for another app cannot be modified and does not work correctly, even after updating the integrated version. Following the update on the play store, the error message indicating that an app displaying over other apps is preventing it from scanning and updating your applications will no longer appear. That was a relief! I noticed some apps I need aren't available for this device in any of the app stores This device has too many hoops for me to go through. I lost the interest along the way because the trouble I had to go through to get this to work properly isn’t worth the time. I need/want a seamless experience. On a new device I shouldn't have to rack my brain!
