Hello everyone!!!

I welcome you with the first Amlogic S802 device released a while back ago. It is called the M8 and this variant that was sent to me is made by the Chinese android tv box and powerbank manufactyrer called Bluetimes.

It is the square model and has some pretty good specs. These include:

So as you can see we are talking for a pretty capable device.

The packaging is very nice and basic and it includes:

• A User Manual

The Bluetimes BT919 Android TV Stick

     There are good android TV Sticks and there are great android TV Sticks. The BT919 is one of the great ones. It is extremely good looking with a black slick glossy design and a vibrant and fresh orange colour on the dual wifi antenna and the HDMI plug cap
.

     This dual antenna provides an excellent wifi reception and it supports 802.11 b/g/n as well as Bluetooth 4.0, wifi direct and miracast are also present.

     The ports of the device consist of 2 MicroUSB (one of them is OTG), a full sized USB 2.0 and a MicroSD card slot. It also has an Fn button for firmware upgrade. It is worth to mention that the HDMI plug is gold plated to provide the best picture signal and it succesfully does.
