Choosing between the Formuler Z12 Ultra SE ($309.99 CAD) and the Formuler Z12 Pro ($259.99 CAD)? Both run Android 12 with MYTVOnline 4, and both are in stock at Dreamlinkstore.com — but a $50 gap separates them. Here's exactly what that $50 buys.
The quick verdict
- Choose the Z12 Ultra SE if your TV supports Dolby Vision, or you want 4x the storage, faster Wi-Fi 6E, and the backlit BT3 remote.
- Choose the Z12 Pro if you want affordable 4K streaming and don't need Dolby Vision — it's the best-value way into the Z12 family.

Where the $50 goes
Dolby Vision
The headline difference. The Ultra SE supports Dolby Vision; the Pro tops out at HDR10+. On a Dolby Vision TV, the SE's picture has visibly richer contrast.
Storage: 64 GB vs 16 GB
Four times the room for apps and recordings. 16 GB fills up fast once you install a handful of streaming apps — the SE gives you real breathing room.
Wi-Fi 6E vs Wi-Fi 5
The SE's tri-band Wi-Fi 6E holds a 4K stream steadier on busy home networks. If your box sits next to the router on Ethernet, this matters less.
The remote
The SE includes the backlit GTV-BT3 with programmable keys; the Pro ships the solid but simpler GTV-BT1. Small detail, daily difference.
Which one should you buy?
For most buyers, the Z12 Ultra SE justifies its $50 premium — Dolby Vision alone is worth it on a compatible TV, and the extra storage and Wi-Fi 6E future-proof the purchase. Pick the Z12 Pro when budget is the priority, especially as a second-room box.
Frequently asked questions
Do both run the same software?
Yes — Android 12 with MYTVOnline 4, including recording and timeshift features.
Is 2 GB of RAM enough?
For streaming, yes. Both boxes handle 4K playback smoothly; the 4 GB models (Z12 Ultra, Z11 Pro Max) are snappier for heavy multitasking.
Are these prices in Canadian dollars?
Yes — $309.99 and $259.99 CAD at Dreamlinkstore.com, with 15-day returns and Ottawa-based support.
