TLDR; of cons from various sources:
- New SoC puts out more heat. Active cooling more important now.
- Video playback at 4K requires H.265
- Micro-HDMI cables now needed.
- Draws more power.
Other than that, looks like a major performance boost.
- supergauntlet 7y ago>Video playback at 4K requires H.265 Not really a con IMO, I haven't seen anything on a 4k bluray encoded in h.264, everything seems to be 265. The microHDMI is kind of a bummer though. I actually wonder if the A72 CPUs onboard are fast enough to do software h.264 4k decode. They might be.
