Formuler Z11 BT1 Edition Details
The Formuler Z11 series was unveiled in October 2022. It consists of two models: Formuler Z11 Pro and Formuler Z11 Pro Max. The new BT1 edition of Z11 series is equipped with a FORMULER GTV-BT1 Remote control. We know this advanced Bluetooth voice remote from the Formuler GTV model. In the review of this first Google-certified Formuler’s Android TV streaming player, we revealed more details of BT1 remote control.
First of all, the GTV-BT1 voice remote offers universal compatibility with most popular TV remote controls, multiple programmable hotkeys for a personalized user experience, and voice assistant support that streamlines the search for your favorite content. In addition, the Formuler Remote app also supports the remote control in multiple ways, offering easy installation via the Google Play Store, customizing hotkeys, programming IR codes to control your TV, and configuring volume settings.
Formuler Z11 Series – Model comparison (Z11 Pro vs Z11 Pro Max)
If you are not yet familiar with the Formuler Z11 series, we remind you of the most important features of both devices. The Formuler Z11 Pro and Formuler Z11 Pro Max are closely related in design and share many similarities. Both models come in a compact housing measuring 105x105x21mm and are powered by the Realtek RTD1319C SoC, featuring a Quad-core Arm Cortex A55 processor and a Mali-G57 MC1 GPU, which is an upgrade from the previous Mali-G31 MP2 GPU. This chipset supports impressive features like 4K 10-bit 60fps AV1 / H.265 decoding, HDR, HDR10+, and HLG technology.
However, there are some notable differences between the two models. The Formuler Z11 Pro Max boasts 4GB of DDR4 RAM and 32GB of eMMC storage, providing enhanced performance and ample storage capacity. On the other hand, the Formuler Z11 Pro offers 2GB of DDR4 RAM and 16GB of eMMC storage, which is still sufficient for most media playback needs but may have limitations for heavy users.
In terms of connectivity, the Formuler Z11 Pro supports Dual Band 2×2 802.11ac WiFi 5, while the Z11 Pro Max steps up with Dual-Band 802.11ax WiFi 6, offering faster and more reliable wireless connections. Both models support Bluetooth 5.0 and Gigabit Ethernet for versatile networking options.
Both media players run on the Android 11 operating system and come with the MYTVOnline3 media-viewing platform, which includes new features. MYTVOnline 3 application provides clean and stable streaming of content and features like universal search, user-friendly channel customization, modernized UI, and access to multi-connection. Additionally, they are equipped with embedded Widevine Level 1 DRM for content protection.
When it comes to I/O ports, both the Formuler Z11 Pro and Z11 Pro Max feature a DC Jack 12VDC / 1A, USB3.0, USB2.0, HDMI 2.1, RJ 45 Gigabit LAN, Micro SD Card slot, and IR Extension. Furthermore, they both support an external USB (ATSC / DVB-T) Over-the-Air Tuner, which can be purchased separately to expand their functionality.
