Notes

* Controversy: MagicX's XU Mini M is advertised as having an RK3526 chip. But in August 2024 the user community discovered that at least some of the devices have lower-performing RK3326 chips erroneously passed off as the more powerful RK3526 advertised for this device. MagicX has stated that this was done by a third-party manufacturing partner without their knowledge, and that they have already severed ties with them – planning to move to Allwinner chips instead for later iterations of this device.
