The Dreamlink Dlite+ 5G and the Dreamlink T2 5G are the two most popular budget-friendly Dreamlink boxes. Both are compact Android media players built on HiSilicon quad-core chipsets with 1 GB of RAM, both handle H.265 (HEVC) and H.264 video decoding, and both support 5 GHz Wi-Fi for fast, stable streaming. Here is how they differ and which one fits you best.

What they have in common
Both boxes aim at the same job: simple, reliable streaming without the price of a flagship. The HiSilicon quad-core hardware with 1 GB of RAM handles everyday playback smoothly, and hardware H.265 decoding keeps high-quality streams efficient on both.
What the T2 5G adds
The T2 5G doubles the storage to 8 GB, adds dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz for range plus 5 GHz for speed) and is rated for 4K playback at up to 60 fps with 10-bit H.265 and VP9 decoding — useful headroom if your TV and content are 4K.
Which should you buy?
Choose the Dlite+ 5G if you want the lowest-cost path to a dependable Dreamlink box for HD streaming on a 5 GHz network.
Choose the T2 5G if you want more storage, dual-band flexibility and 4K decoding headroom for a little more money.
