high definition video playback and real-time streaming, access to popular media player applications such as Kodi, screen casting capability, local media playback via USB connection, internet radio and audio streaming services, Skype and other VoIP services, Android games and much more.

ultra connectivity
The Neo U1 demonstrates the latest advances in WLAN technology with the integration of 802.11ac 2 x 2 MIMO dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4GHz/5.0GHz) - lightning-fast, error-free streaming is achieved by combining an internal and an external antenna. The Neo U1 also features Gigabit Ethernet for users who prefer a cable connection.

Breathtaking movie experience
Designed for video purists, the Neo U1 delivers an incredibly rich and intense (home) cinema experience. It is our first media hub for Android that supports a video output signal of up to 4K at 60Hz - using cutting-edge technologies, ultra-sharp playback of 4K image material and generally improved media playback quality is achieved.

Brilliant 10-bit color format
The Neo U1 supports a color format of up to 10-bit, which significantly increases the dynamic range of the displayed colors; such new color depths with this brilliant image quality did not exist on earlier media hubs for Android.

Ultra-fast response
The Neo U1 offers improved application performance and responsiveness thanks to the installed Android 5.1.1 Lollipop operating system. The exclusive Minix Launcher provides a clean, well-designed and easily accessible interface - so you can easily find what you're looking for. With our Fota (Firmware-Over-The-Air) Update System all updates are available for download and automatic installation on your Neo U1.

Wastes electricity. Does not turn itself off after use, which increases power consumption. Shows videos in 4k resolution. Very versatile, offers a lot of great video services. Good picture quality. Mediocre wifi reception performance. Somewhat confusing operating concept. Has problems playing movies from the home network. Has a LAN connection and memory card slot.
