Comparing the Formuler Z12 Ultra with the Formuler Z11 Pro Max? Both are responsive 4K Formuler boxes with 4 GB of RAM, MYTVOnline 3 and Gigabit Ethernet, but they are built for different buyers. The Z12 Ultra is the newer flagship with 128 GB of storage, Wi-Fi 6E, Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos and the backlit GTV-BT3 voice remote. The Z11 Pro Max costs less and keeps 4 GB / 32 GB, Wi-Fi 6 and the same MYTVOnline 3 experience.
The Z11 Pro Max is sold in two remote packages: the standard model includes the GTV-IR1 infrared learning remote, while the Formuler Z11 Pro Max BT1 Edition includes the GTV-BT1 Bluetooth voice remote. The BT1 has voice control but is not backlit; backlit keys are a feature of the BT3 supplied with the Z12 Ultra and Z12 Ultra SE.
Quick recommendation
- Choose the Z12 Ultra for the most storage, Wi-Fi 6E, Dolby Vision and Atmos, and the backlit BT3 remote.
- Choose the standard Z11 Pro Max for the lowest price on a 4 GB / 32 GB MYTVOnline 3 box with Wi-Fi 6 and Gigabit Ethernet.
- Choose the Z11 Pro Max BT1 Edition when you want the Z11 Pro Max hardware with a Bluetooth voice remote included.
- Choose the Z12 Ultra SE for MYTVOnline 4, Wi-Fi 6E, Dolby Vision and the BT3 remote at a price below the Z12 Ultra.
- Choose the Z12 Pro for MYTVOnline 4, Gigabit Ethernet and the included BT1 voice remote.

The biggest differences
Storage: 128 GB versus 32 GB
The Z12 Ultra has four times as much built-in storage. That matters when you install many apps or keep recordings on the box. The Z11 Pro Max still has enough space for MYTVOnline 3 and a normal set of streaming apps, and both models support external storage.
Picture and sound formats
The Z12 Ultra adds Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos support. The Z11 Pro Max supports 4K at 60 fps with HDR10+ and HLG, but its product specification does not list Dolby Vision or Dolby Atmos. Buyers with a compatible Dolby television or home-theatre system should choose the Z12 Ultra or Z12 Ultra SE.
Wi-Fi and wired networking
Both boxes have Gigabit Ethernet, which remains the most stable choice for live television. On wireless connections, the Z12 Ultra supports Wi-Fi 6E while the Z11 Pro Max supports Wi-Fi 6. Wi-Fi 6E is most useful when your router also supports the 6 GHz band.
Remote control
The Z12 Ultra includes the GTV-BT3, a backlit Bluetooth voice remote. The standard Z11 Pro Max includes the infrared GTV-IR1. Buyers who want voice search on the Z11 hardware can choose the Z11 Pro Max BT1 Edition, listed at $294.99 CAD when prices were checked on September 4, 2026, or add a compatible Bluetooth remote later.

The Z12 Ultra SE is the balanced choice for buyers who want MYTVOnline 4, Dolby Vision, Wi-Fi 6E and the BT3 remote without paying for 128 GB of storage. The Z12 Pro is the value choice when MYTVOnline 4 matters more than Dolby Vision or large internal storage.
Formuler Z11 Pro vs Z11 Pro Max
The Formuler Z11 Pro uses the same Android 11 and MYTVOnline 3 generation, but it has 2 GB of RAM, 16 GB of storage and Wi-Fi 5. The Z11 Pro Max doubles the RAM and storage and moves to Wi-Fi 6. Choose the Z11 Pro for lighter use or a second television; choose the Z11 Pro Max for larger channel lists, more apps and more wireless headroom.
Which one should you buy in Canada?
For a main television and the longest feature list, buy the Z12 Ultra. For the strongest value with 4 GB of RAM, buy the standard Z11 Pro Max. Choose the BT1 Edition only when the included voice remote is worth the extra cost to you. Buyers who specifically want MYTVOnline 4 should compare the Z12 Ultra SE and Z12 Pro.
