Faltaron mas diferencias, te quedaste corto:
La 900TS es 10 mm mas delgada, casi la mitad.
La 900TS tiene tarjeta de WiFi 6 AX, esto es muy importante cuando estas navegando a 8K o haciendo streeming y quieres sacar el maximo provecho sin frenar la fluídez.
Parte de lo anterior es su Chip Media Tek + CPU ARM Cortex A-73 con GPU ARM Mali-G52 que el 800T no tiene.
La 900TS viene con sintonizador ATSC 3.0 preparado para señal abierta en 4k. El 800T no.
Gracias
I’ll wait for Black Friday pricing but I’ll definitely get the 900 ts.
