As you can see the box is being delivered with 1 Powercord for different power outlets. This make it easier to sell I think all around the world. Nice touch:

The Minix Neo T5 is a lot smaller then the Neo U1:

As you can see the color are a lot better and not washed out.
Unfortunately the picture are not of high quality as my Android App has compressed them down a lot.
I have to say that Kodi 18.4 is buffering a lot like it's not able to keep up. Didn't have that problem on my older U1/Kodi. I think that came with version 15 or 16.
EDIT: Looks like it depends per movie. Batman (1989) was buffering a lot, Batman Returns (1992) Only had 4 moments of buffering. Als this happened with actions scenes. Maybe higher framerate. My Minix is connected via a wire, but though a 500Mbits Powerline. For 1080p I never head problems, look like this might be a probably cause, or it is still something with Kodi. Have to check a few 1080p movies to determine if I need to upgrade my powerline. Or It might be poor encoding which translates poorly when streaming over the network (source is my Windows 10 PC using SMB). Have to troubleshoot further.
Thanks for the report.
Try to copy your movie to an external hard drive or USB pen drive and play it localy using Kodi 18.4.
@frankguthrie you are in testing phase and like @Skynet suggested play your movies localy from external hard drive or usb flash drive.Connect external hard drive 3.0 to usb port 3.0 to test read and write.
By default it is on 4K 60Hz, but because I will use Kodi to stream movies, isn't 24Hz/25Hz better?
I don't know yet, it depends of your eye- I haven't noticed a difference to be honest, what do you recommend? Keep Movie, or go back to Standard?
It's the correct setting for best use.And what about Color Space settings:
Not every times, you have to tweak it sometimes.Does Android TV pick the best options by default?
No, keep 4K @ 60HZ, Kodi will swith to the correct framerate.
It's the correct setting for best use.
@frankguthrie you already have T5.
Thank you for your feedback.
As said before you are in testing mode.
My idea if you want is give us your feedback about the device, maybe here ?

I cancelled my order from AliExpress, It was taking days, and still wasn't processed/shipped (probably because it was not officially released). I have ordered it locally. Will get my Neo T5 tomorrow.
