Sumvision Cyclone Micro 2+ 4K UHD Media Player

The Sumvision Cyclone Micro 2+ is number 10 in this guide, at £43.99, rated 4.0 out of 5 from 1,626 ratings. It is not a streaming stick: the listing describes a small metal-cased media player that plays files from USB pen drives, micro SD cards and external hard drives, and connects to a television over HDMI. The product name on the page says "4K UHD MKV HDMI H.265". Two fields further down the same page disagree — Resolution reads 1080p, and Video Codec reads H.264.

The rest of the spec table is no tidier. Video Output Resolution is listed as 3840x2160, so the page carries a 1080p figure and a 4K figure at the same time. Network Connectivity Technology is given as "HDMI, USB", two sockets and neither of them a network, while Other Special Features lists Miracast, which is a wireless display standard. Memory Storage Capacity is 8 TB, but the bullets describe 8 TB as the largest external hard drive the player accepts rather than built-in storage, and RAM is given as 4 GB. The body is listed at 7.5 x 1 x 6.5 cm and 99.8 g, a 1 cm depth worth noting on a unit the same bullets credit with dual USB ports and a dedicated external IR port. Every figure on this page comes from the Amazon listing's own fields, not from our own testing of the player.
