Thanks for this fascinating insight. The jankyness you describe lines-up exactly with what I'm seeing here.
If H616 was the mainstream/volume chip box to have in 2021, then I'm super-interested to see what their 2023 H618 boxes look like. They are all over Amazon with loads of reviews on YouTube, just like its predecessor.
Considering the interest this write-up has generated I'm inclined get one and 'take the bullet' to see if this behaviour is continues. Given your insight about how these chips get sold, chances seem quite high.
Yeah, I must admit that I have a morbid fascination with these devices. I mean they are cheap and hackable after all. And after reading your article I also thought about getting a new one to see what they are up to these days :-D.
