I'm still debating between the Hub, the Shield and maybe the Minix U1.
I "just" need :
- 1080p HEVC 10bit support (for my actual files)
- 1080p h264 support (of course)
- A way to use Spotify without turning on my TV
- Netflix support at least 1080p (stereo is enough for me)
- 4k support for the future maybe (i have no 4k tv at the moment)
The shield i think is overpriced for my needs (and i have a xbox one and a pc for gaming)
What is the famous "bug" of the minix ? It will be fixed with the hub ?

Can I presume the UI is more snappy/faster? (eMMC faster than NAND). Is the eMMC storage user replaceable to 16GB or more?

I don't have a Hub yet myself, so I don't know if the memory is faster or not.
For the SoC (as far as Kodi GUI performance is concerned), from what I understand the biggest difference between the Core (S812) and other S905 boxes are the video processing side of things. Raw CPU wise, they're about the same:

Of course, there are other specs that the S905 bring over the S812, but Kodi's GUI will be about the same on both.
