Conclusion

In the Mecool BB2 Pro Amlogic S912 Octa Core 3GB DDR4 Android 6.0 4K TV Box, Mecool placed a lot of emphasis on memory speed and performance. With all other features being similar in other S912 TV boxes, what stood out for me was the 3GB DDR4 RAM and the read speed of the internal storage being over 100M/bps, which is the highest I have seen in these TV boxes. The benchmarks for CPU, GPU, WiFi and gaming was for the most part was on a similar level with other TV boxes in its class.

The fact that it comes with Android 17.0 is a good for the box carrying the latest Kodi version, but kodi 17.0 has show to be problematic and glitchy at times. Still people are insisting on using it but Kodi 16.1 Jarvis is a more stable version, especially for people looking for DTS audio passthrough while playing movies in Kodi. Outside of Kodi DTS works great, something with the built in audio codecs seems to causing some issues. Probably an Kodi build release will fix that problem.
