Advice on purchasing Chinese Android HU. - Android Auto General

Just posted this in another category so delete the other if needed. Looking at purchasing a Jewellet android head unit for my 2014 buick enclave. This looks to be the only factory style that i can find for my vehicle with the android OS . Can get this unit on aliexpress for $250 plus shipping. It claims to be running android 9.0, CPU is quad core cortex a53 rockchip px30 1.5ghz, storage memory Ram 2GB DDR3, Rom 16 GB.
Also seeing another unit. Looks identicle to to the first one however it has octa-core cortex a53 rockchip PX5 1.5 GHZ. Storage memory ram 4gb ddr3, rom 32 gb. For $280 plus shipping. Can someone help with advice on these units? I know nothing about android as i am an Apple user but really would like to change out the system in my vehicle

Generally, the slightly more expensive unit more likely better.
My experience that the cheaper units drop features they can get away with.
And send it back quick smart if it does not measure up!

The other concern is DSP vs not.
Which one more compatible with Roms?

[Q] Is it an Upgrade?

Hello,
Right now I have Galaxy Note N700, the original Note, and I am considering buying the new Moto G.
Do you consider this as an upgrade over my 3 year old phone specs wise?
When I compare it in GSM Arena, they are almost identical except for the processor which is Exynos 4210 for my old Note and Snapdragon 400 for the Moto G. When I google their differences, it seems that the Exynos chip is still more powerful than the Snapdragon 400 but the former is Dual Core 1.4 GHz Cortex A9 while the latter is Quad Core 1.2 GHz Cortex A7.
So is this a worthy upgrade? Because I do not wana buy expensive phones anymore, I will be needing it for call and texts, FB, browsing and some light gaming only.
Thank you!
Buy Moto G Asap!!
Upgrade Your Phone!! Buy Moto G (2nd Gen) cheap price. and smooth than butter. very fast phone. its feel like nexus phone. Moto G is Awsum device. with upgrade Garenty From motorola. Moto G also will get android lemon pie(5.0) on Jan to Feb. :good:

The Asus ZenFone 5 has piqued my interest. More RAM, faster processor, same display, same with MicroSD slot.
Asus Zenfone 5 may not get the Android L update.

I have a get a "cheap phone" and a "expensive Tablet" attitude.

If you are happy with your Note, software is ok and everything els is fine, I would stay on Note
It will probably be an experience upgrade, because the Moto software is very light. I have touchwiz on a Note 10.1 (2014) and the Samsung bloat sucks. That said, my advice is get a first-gen G 16GB model while they are still available cheap. My impression is aside from not having expandable storage, it is a better phone (all same specifications except screen size, but the resolution did not improve). If you are willing to hold-off a bit and wait for a new mid-price phone option, the new Nexus should be out within a month or 2.
It is a worthy upgrade from the original G and the old Note. You will get Android L with this device as well. Read my review here.

Just remember this is a budget phone at $180, when the Note came out it was $800. In any case it's still a better phone because of stock Android and useful Motorola additions. The new Nexus will probably be $400. (I don't think it will be $349 this time).

I have moved from the N7000 to a G and it's great, initially I wanted the bigger screen, but the whole package on the G is faster smoother and generally easier to use, not so much stuff you won't ever use! It also fits in your pocket easily.
At the prices of the G at the moment try it, you will be surprised
I will skip on the original G since I really need the SD Card slot. That is why I am considering Moto G 2014.
I am using SlimKat now on my Note I. It lags but it is acceptable compare to when I flashed a JellyBean stock rom.
What is limiting for me with the G 2014 is the 1GB ram, because right now with my Note, it cannot handle a lot of apps. It will always open a new app and not from where I left it.
e.g.
The Chrome browser is really slow on my Note, not slow because of internet connection but slow because it just lags a lot.
Plays Youtube with stutters.
Facebook after clicking on an external link and returning to FB will start from the top.
I am also looking at Asus Zenfone 5, another value for money device.
I like the specs but there is no dedicated XDA thread for this device. It means no development.
The reason I am still holding on to my GNote and still acceptable for daily use is because there is still few developments happening, I still got Kitkat.
In that case, I would recommend a bigger jump and get a mobile phone with 2GB of ram
At Moto G's price point, do you recommend any other than Asus Zenfone 5?

Tab A 2019

Just got the 2019 Tab A and ditched my 2016 version i must say that for 209 euros the 2019 version is great.
Some features:
Full Aluminium look and feel
Samsung One UI
Android Pie (9)
On screen buttons and gestures
Laminated display
Must find the rest of the things in a couple of days...
Awesome
Have to say, I bought one yesterday, my first Android device for a while and it's been really good. This tablet feels like it's made of stone - its that solid! Fast, responsive and for £199, it seems a bargain.
I bought one as well, pretty good so far. I hope there will be a rooting solution soon.
Aw crud..
Looks like I spoke to soon. There no way to expand the internal storage to an SD card. Just spoke to Samsung support and they say that they no longer support that on Pie.
That's kinda important to me so looks like this thing may be heading back to the store..
I bought one also. And it's stunning for the price. I have a Galaxy Note 9 too. Synch between both is perfect.
Daily Board is nice.
I use Niagara Launcher, it's perfect for tablet ! (Nova on my Note 9)
Now waiting for a Root solution !
Where had you purchased from? I cannot find anywhere in the UK that have them!

Samsung Galaxy Tab A Wi FI SM-T510 32GB Black FR Version https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B07Q353W4X/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_taa_Mfg0CbJSVF9SG
Ordered 128GB version from Best Buy
$330

Thinking of replacing my iPad Air 2 for the galaxy Tab a 10.1 or upgrading my Huawei P Smart to Moto g7 but can decide
What are the differences between the new Tab A 2019 and last year's Tab A 2018 10.5?
EDIT: Just checked: less RAM (2GB vs 3GB) and smaller battery (6150 mAH vs 7300) for the 2019 vs 2018.

Also no camera flash on the back and no ambient light sensor on the front, so no auto-brightness adjustment.
I think I made a right choice over T590 after I read root problem. Hopefully it will be fixed upon Pie release
T510, on the other hand, root works as it's supposed to.

The CPU of SM-T510 should be significantly better. Just compare the single-core Geekbench scores (the 2016 and 2018 model both just over 700, but over 1200 for 2019 model). The 2019 model uses 4xA73+4xA53 cores. The 2018 model used 8xA53 cores (just like the 2016 model). Also the T510 should use significantly faster RAM. Also, if you buy the model with 64GB storage, you get 3GB of RAM.

Why should this be important in 2019? You get options for 32GB, 64GB, and 128GB of internal storage. Just keep the OS and applications on internal storage, and data on sd card.
Just ordered the 64gb because of the 3gb of ram.

GOHOJO headunit 9.0 for BMW

Had anybody purchase this type of headunit?
I bought it off Amazon and is a unit for A BMW f25 or x3 it says it runs on android 9.0 with 4GB ram and 64gb also. I was just wondering if anybody has been able to modified or change the UI. I have come across some issues. Let me know if anyone has.

SamsungA71 8Gb vs 6Gb ram models

Hi, apart from the 2 extra Gb are there any other notable differences between the two models?
The 8Gb models seem to be cheaper here in Australia on eBay, Kogan etc.
I believe the 8GB model is the one sporting Snapdragon 730G SOC, as in Snapdragon 730 'Gaming' , which is a variant of the 730 SOC with a small overclock on the GPU side and it's supposed to be tweaked for more sustained performance (before power throttling).
Don't expect real life noticeable differences. Overall the Snapdragon 700 platform is a mediocre/mid-range one and thus very intensive CPU and/or 3D graphics tasks won't run 100% smooth on neither 730 or 730G.

Question Larger capacity Ultras faster? 128GB benchmark included.

Hi all,
I'm trying to find out if there is a performance difference when it comes to storage between the 128gb and higher spec ultras. As I understand it, bigger SSD devices are generally faster.
I ran benchmark against a 128gb model (linked below.) Can someone with a 256 or 512 model post their results?
many thanks in advance!
My Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G (SDM888) scored 27292 in the PCMark Storage 2.0 Android benchmark test. http://bit.ly/pcmark-android
Passmark storage test was around 78,000 I believe.
256GB Exynos model (SM-G998B) so maybe not comparable, but: I got PC Mark 2.0 storage test = 30329.

This used to be the case for SDDs many moons ago (I haven't checked lately TBH). I would not be surprised to find better performance in higher capacity, I think it mostly has to do with optimized cell access.
Thanks for the feedback y'all! Looking around today I can only find 512GB international models so this may be a moot point.
I had a 512GB ordered from Samsung a few weeks ago when you could still get them on their website, but I cancelled the order thinking the price might come down when the S22 is announced. Just couldn't justify paying full price for last years tech.
T-Mobile still wants $1200 for a 128gb model, so I'm thinking I'll just wait for the 22.
The 22 looks to be an evolutionary upgrade with not much new over the S21 Ultra....smart money is on the discounted S21 since they appear to be virtually the same minus an S pen

I'm cool with grabbing a 21- problem is where to find one that's discounted let alone a 512.

I would purchase the S21 Ultra for a few reasons. First being Android 12 is a disaster, it's still nowhere near stable. The new Exynos SoC for the S22 is having serious production issues, only a handful of chipsets are usable from an entire wafer. The S22 Ultra will cost more money but few feature upgrades. The S-Pen (which works on an S21), a bit of a camera tweek, faster charging and new colors. Samsung needs help, it's no longer a great value.
S21 256 GB - 25000.

Wow I'm surprised it's less than the 128GB! Perhaps it's because it's filled up more, whereas the phone I tested on was brand new.

Well I found one place selling the US 512GB version for $1700 on ebay, but that's the cheapest I could find. Might have to just cave in and get the 128GB from TMO for $1200.
More googling revealed that the RAM in the 16GB model is probably also faster.
"At 6,400 megabits per second (Mb/s), the new LPDDR5 is about 16 percent faster than the 12Gb LPDDR5 (5,500Mb/s) found in most of today’s flagship mobile devices. When made into a 16GB package, the LPDDR5 can transfer about 10 5GB-sized full-HD movies, or 51.2GB of data, in one second."
From: https://news.samsung.com/global/sam...dr5-dram-at-worlds-largest-semiconductor-line
The test is probably not reliable then.
I redid the passmark test and here's what I got for disk and memory on the 128GB:
Disk: 74,902
Memory: 31,918

You can buy the 512GB Snapdragon variant for $1,349.00. I'll PM you a couple of links. Internal Storage doesn't really change speed of a device, not to a degree where you'll see a big difference.
