PX5 (8.0/Octa/4GB) vs PX3 (7.1.2/Quad/2GB) Head Units - Advise needed - MTCB Android Head Units Q&A

I am in search of replacing my current head unit (in my Mercedes w164) with an android one but I am totally confused with all those chinese makers because they don't provide the MCU version/Kernel version and Build Number therefore not easy to identify and do a proper search for problems and available ROM's
Currently i am focusing on 2 devices - specific for my vehicle - PX5 vs PX3 with the following HW specifications:
Octa Core PX5 CPU + DDR3 4GB Flash + 32GB Memory
Android version claimed by the retailer is Android 8.0
Quad Core PX3 + 2GB + 32GB Memory
Android version claimed by the retailer is ANDROID 7.1.2
My questions :
Which one is better in terms of ROM support and performance ?
Is Android 8 available for those devices ?
4GB of memory is fairly new. Is it possible and if yes is it worth it ?
Mic and Bluetooth issues mentioned in several threads have been solved ? I am interesting only on pairing my phone and make calls.
Do i need a noise filter ?
DO they work with factory fitted GPS receivers ? (The sellers say no)
The price difference is not huge and is not a factor for my choice.
Just in case here are the links for the ones i am interested for :
Dicola (probably a retailer)
Android 8.0 - Octa Core PX5 CPU + DDR3 4GB Flash + 32GB Memory + 1024*600 HD Screen
Link here
ActeryX (probably a retailer)
ANDROID 7.1.2 - Quad Core PX3 + 2GB + 32GB Memory + 1024*600 HD Screen

Thanks you for your responses and your time

[Q] need a little clarification

Hi guys, i am really confused. I purchased an epad off of ebay. i thought winning bid of $42 was worth it so i got it. after purchasing it i read throught the details. i liked it except for this one part where it says "TF card support 32GB extend max". It has 1 usb slot and 2 micro sd slots. Does it mean total per card it can support is up to 32 gb or 32gb all 3 combined :/ if anyone can answer this question id appreciate it. THank you.
What kind of tablet? and epad?
yes, its an epad. i havnt got it yet but i was gonna order a few cards for it too then so i needed to know
EDIT: ITS THE SAME EXACT THING AS THE LINK BELOW
http://cgi.ebay.com/TABLET-PC-10-2-...US_Tablets&hash=item3f078105c9#ht_6594wt_1139
Here is your answer
The ram is 256 mb
The sd card support is 32 gigs per slot.
If you can root the device you will make it run better but trying to put froyo with only 256mb ram might be an issue
Good luck.............. good price though
Note:
1. All Memory cards we selling are with the tablet pc and at cost price,we are sure them all be tested before shipment ,we do not accept returns,replacement or refund of the cards,thanks for your cooperation.
2. Not all games and software can be supported by G-Sensor (Depending on software compatible)
3. Device usually show storage at about 0.7-1.3GB, This is because we have pre-installed the android system and other software,this will occupy some memory.)

Head unit recommendations - 1024x600, 2gb ram, physical buttons

I want to find a good head unit with following specifications:
Resolution: 1024x600
RAM: 2GB or more,
Physical volume, next/prev buttons (as my wheel does not have media keys)
DVD
SD Card support - at least 64GB
Are there any good, tested units with these specifications?
There are plenty, the universal 2din unit at carjoying.com should work

All units I saw on carjoying are actually 1GB RAM. I've had experience with Android smartphone with 1GB RAM and don't really want to have same experience with head unit.

Whoops yeah all the MTCB style ones have 1GB ram.
The only other option would be a newsmy unit which is completely different software wise

I have 3 OTT M8 boxes scattered around the house and would love a Remix OS build on them.
I dumped the crappy kitkat builds off them after about a week of buying them and run OpenELEC on them. It's fine for just Kodi but the device is capable of so much more.
I think the wife would love it on the one in the kitchen for browsing the web for recipes and the likes, not possible with OpenElec
So there's a big fat +1 for me on this. :good:
Any updates? Would love to use Remix OS on my M8
that would be great on S802/S805/S812
Would love remix on my onda v975m its based on the m802

6GB RAM and 128GB Flash

Hi,
Any news about the model with 6GB of RAM?
I want to know the final over price compared with the 4GB version; and the expected release date.
Regards.
I bought 6gb version from Amazon.in but not yet shipped. Shipping starts from 7th March this is what they have provided the update. Also this is not 128GB version. It comes with 6GB RAM and 64GB ROM. They would have proivded 128Gb instead of 64GB since M30 higher version comes with 128GB and lesser price i.e.,18k

Thank you!
And which price has the 6GB/64GB compared with the 4GB/64GB in India?
Rs. 22,990
I bought the 6GB/64GB A50 today at the Samsung Cafe store today. Was informed that the 128GB variant won't be launching in India anytime soon.
Hi,
I feel Samsung is joking with us:
- In India you can purchase 4G+64 and 6G+64.
- In Philippines they accept pre-orders only of 6G+128.
- In Europe only the 4G+128 is published.
The 4GB of RAM version is a pure joke! Only the 6GB of RAM version has enough memory to run smoothly.
So, why in some markets (like Europe) the 6GB version ins't available?

Pixel 3 and 3xl too have 4gb ram. But, do they slow down? No, because it depends on optimization and ram management. 3gb is sufficient for now.
Hi,
Sorry for people that thinks 4GB of RAM isn't a joke!
Please, take note about this:
- My previous 2018 & 2017 mid-range smartphones have 4GB of RAM, so it's time to go forward.
- All flagships of 2019 have 6, 8 or more RAM, so 6GB isn't much memory.
- Android Q & R will expect to have 4GB of minimum RAM, so for the two next upgrades 4GB will be the minimum.
- From 2019 the stock memory range is entry-level-->4GB, mid-range-->6GB, premium-->8GB.
Please, take note that this model is for 2019-2020, so the 4GB it's a cut-down version. And the problem is: In Europe (perhaps in other areas too) only the version with 4GB will be avaiable. And this in fact is a joke!

No it's a common misconception that future phone will need more RAM , I am using a 4 yr old device with just 1.5 GB Ram and I can Play PUBG Mobile (It's at least playable, because it's a SD400 Series processor). 4 GB RAM is enough for a smartphone
My phone has Android pie (Bootleggers ROM) and it works Perfectly fine with 1.5 GB ram.
Pixel and iPhone have only 4GB RAM but still they are flagships, due to their software optimizations.
DONT EXPECT YOUR PHONE TO BE FASTER IF IT HAS MORE RAM, IT ALL DEPENDS UPON THE PROCESSOR
I have malaysian version with XME firmware and 6GB ram with 128 GB storage. Anyone knows if they are going to send new update for this version because I am stuck on february patch while others have moved on to april update.

I am using it. I bought it for 25.5K TK.
Hi,
As Samsung doesn't like to sold the 6GB version of the A50 in EUROPE, I'll purchase the A70... that has ONLY 6GB of RAM in EUROPE (and 8GB in India).
WHY THIS?
