The Amlogic S805 chip was never meant to run Android 7 "Nougat." Born in an era of Android 4.4 KitKat, it was a modest workhorse—quad-core, budget-friendly, and built for simple 1080p streaming. But in the corner of a dimly lit bedroom, Elias was determined to defy the hardware's destiny. The default launchers on Android 7 custom ROMs

However, some community custom ROMs and cheap Chinese boxes Android 7.1.2 support. Here’s what that usually means:

A key design choice was the use of , which are less power-hungry than the faster Cortex-A9 cores found in the higher-end Amlogic S802. This architectural decision was intended to manage the continuous, long-term operation typical of set-top boxes, and to avoid the more severe heat problems seen with the more powerful (and hotter) S802 chip. In short, the S805 was never designed for heavy computational lifting.
