Hi guys, so actually I am the one who knows quite a lot about X96Q :p :
1. As Khadas said: there are counterfeits based on rk 3228A with a S905W (in fact "S" is not an actual "S") mark on the chip. It's performance is really poor, its 32bit CPU and its not worth working with
2. Market is full of other-kind-of-fake fake boxes - 1g RAM 8g ROM versions are being sold under 2g 16g tag, with very little tools for an average user to prove it's not an actual 2g16g version.
3. There are many different revisions of X96Q boards, with different types of RAM, differenct clock settings and its really hard to just get the image of an OS. Up to my knowledge, there is no other working OS than the one made by github user named warpme. Its an Arch Linux distro and its quite decent. It has some drawback though, and I am in constant touch with an author, working on some commercial solution that utilizes these boxes. In the version available on github, there is no LAN support, eMMC installation and an AP mode. Besides that, it works just fine
