It’s been a while since I have seen an Amlogic S912 TV stick, and so far none of them would run Android TV operating system. But CCC Air Stick 4K does, meaning it supports Google Cast like a ChromeCast, as well as Voice Commands through a remote control.
The company also claims support for aptX and aptX HD Bluetooth audio, as well as online services such as Hulu, Netflix, Spotify, and some Japanese specific services, since the TV stick only targets the Japanese market.
Air Stick 4K specifications:
- SoC – Amlogic S912J 64-bit octa core Arm Cortex A53 @ up to 1.5GHz with Arm Mali GPU
- System Memory – 2 GB
- Storage – 16 GB flash
- Video Output – HDMI 2.0a up to 4K @ 60 Hz with HDR10, CEC support
- Audio – HDMI audio output, aptX / aptX audio over Bluetooth
- Connectivity
- Dual band (2.4 GHz/5 GHz) 802.11b/g/n/ac WiFi

- Dual band (2.4 GHz/5 GHz) 802.11b/g/n/ac WiFi
- USB – 1x USB 2.0 port via power adapter
- Power Supply – 5V via micro USB port
- Dimensions – 70.0 mm × 30.0 mm × 11.0 mm
- Weight – 30g
The dongle runs Android TV 7.1.2 Nougat, and should be upgrade to Android 8.x Oreo in the future. It ships with a remote control with a microphone for voice commands, a short HDMI male to female adapter, and an interesting power adapter with Ethernet (RJ45), and a USB type A port. The Ethernet port allows the TV stick to be used as a WiFi hotspot for up to 8 devices.
I had never heard about S912J, and web searches all point to the stick discussed in this post, so either it somehow got inserted by mistake, or there’s somehow a special version of Amlogic S912 processor for Japan, or TV sticks.
CCC Air Stick 4K is sold for 9,800 Yenor 10,584 Yen with VAT), or the equivalent of $88.6 US on shops such as Rakuten or Yahoo Shopping Japan. More details can be found in the product page (in Japanese)
