Is there any noticeable difference in picture quality when running S905 which has Mali drivers vs S912 with Kazaq workaround?

HW video decoding doesn't depend on Mali drivers, video quality is the same on S905X and S912.

Is there any advantage to buying a S905 vs a S912 except for price?

If you don't care about Android, S905D/S905X is the preferred choice for LE.

algdu83 Kernel is only one part of the puzzle. If you want to build Android, better have a look at whole SDK at Khadas · GitHub

Hi, i have read a few stories about boxes (mecool m8s pro, mini m8s ii) being sold recently with different hardware than before. What is now the best bang for buck box? I have the x96, mini m8s ii and the beelink mini mxiii (all s905x) and all the boxes work perfect with libreelec. But I bought the boxes a time ago and I am afraid that if I buy another one (I want to give my dad and sister a kodi box) I get different hardware with a lot of issues.

You are correct there, with these boxes, you never know what you will get. They are like a box of chocolates, you never know what you will get........ haha

I'm using Tanix TX3 Mini with S905W and 2GB of RAM. I have Ubuntu Mate 16.04 installed and I'm using this tv box mainly for browsing the internet with chromium and watching youtube videos. Is there a significant improvement between S905W and S912 in terms of CPU power for browsing and watching youtube videos?. I don't use android and I only run kodi rarely. Is it worth upgrading to S912 just so that I can have a better experience browsing the internet and watching youtube ? or is there a better SoC you guys can recommend me ?
