I previously wrote about the Inphic i8 being the first Android box to use Allwinner’s quadcore H8 chipset in December. It now appears that the Inphic i8 has started to appear in sales channels, with GearBest listing the device for $78.20 at the time of writing.
The Inphic i8 runs Android KitKat 4.4.2 on the Allwinner H8 chipset. This combines an octo-core CPU with an octo-core GPU and adds support for HEVC decoding.
