The SuperBox S8 series is the most ambitious lineup the brand has ever released. Four models, each with a clear purpose, and enough variation to make choosing one feel like a real decision. Whether you are replacing an older device or setting up a second screen, this comparison walks through everything that separates the S8 Pro, S8 Plus, S8 Max, and S8 Ultra.
Storage: The First Difference You Will Notice
Storage is where the S8 lineup splits most clearly. The S8 Pro ships with 32GB of internal storage, which is enough for everyday apps and a handful of saved recordings. The S8 Plus and S8 Max both double that to 64GB, giving you more room for apps, saved media, and system updates without constantly checking remaining space. The S8 Ultra goes all the way to 128GB — four times the entry model — which means you can save extensively and install every app you use without ever worrying about running out.
If you save a lot of media or keep many apps installed at once, the 64GB models are the practical minimum. The 128GB Ultra is for anyone who wants to set the device up once and never think about storage again.
Ports and Connectivity
Three of the four models use USB-C for both power and data, paired with a USB 3.0 port for high-speed accessories. The exception is the S8 Plus, which uses a round DC power plug and offers two USB-A ports (USB 3.0 and USB 2.0) instead. For most people this does not matter day to day, but if you prefer the reversibility of USB-C or already own USB-C accessories, the Pro, Max, and Ultra are the more future-proof choices.
All four models include HDMI, AV output, Gigabit Ethernet, SPDIF digital audio, and a microSD card slot for additional storage expansion. WiFi 6 is standard across the entire lineup, so even the most affordable S8 Pro delivers the latest wireless standard.
Multi-View: Limited vs Full
Multi-view is one of the standout features of the S8 generation, but it is not identical across all models. The S8 Pro and S8 Plus offer limited multi-view, which works with selected app types. The S8 Max and S8 Ultra unlock full multi-view support, meaning you can split your screen across more sources simultaneously.
For users who want to keep an eye on multiple apps at once, or anyone who regularly multitasks during a session, the full multi-view on the Max and Ultra is a meaningful upgrade. If you mostly focus on one app at a time and only occasionally use picture-in-picture, the limited version on the Pro and Plus is perfectly fine.
Remote Control
Three models ship with a standard voice command remote. The S8 Ultra includes an upgraded backlit version, which makes a real difference in dark rooms — no more fumbling for the right button during a late-night session. All four remotes support voice search and navigation, so the core hands-free experience is the same across the lineup.
AI Upscaling: Exclusive to the Ultra
The S8 Ultra is the only model with AI upscaling, a real-time image enhancement feature that analyzes each frame and sharpens detail, improves contrast, and makes lower-resolution media look closer to native 4K. It works automatically, with no settings to adjust. If you have a larger or higher-resolution display and consume a lot of older or lower-bitrate media, the AI upscaling on the Ultra is genuinely noticeable.
Price and Value
The S8 Pro starts at the lowest price point and delivers the full S8 software experience, making it the best value for anyone on a budget or setting up a secondary display. The S8 Plus adds storage and a distinctive ocean-blue design for a small premium. The S8 Max brings a metal chassis and full multi-view to the mid-range. The S8 Ultra tops the lineup with maximum storage, AI upscaling, and a backlit remote.
Which One Should You Buy?
- Choose the S8 Pro if you want the S8 experience at the lowest price.
- Choose the S8 Plus if you want more storage and prefer the blue design.
- Choose the S8 Max if you want a metal body and full multi-view without paying flagship prices.
- Choose the S8 Ultra if you want the absolute best — maximum storage, AI upscaling, and a backlit remote.
Every model in the S8 series shares the same upgraded playback engine, redesigned interface, 7-day time shift, built-in recording, voice command, and parental controls. The differences come down to storage, build material, multi-view scope, and premium extras. Pick based on what you will actually use, and you cannot go wrong.
