SuperBox S8 Models Explained: Pro vs. Plus vs. Max vs. Ultra

The SuperBox S8 generation comes in four models — the S8 Pro, S8 Plus, S8 Max, and S8 Ultra. They share the same core engine, so choosing between them comes down to storage and ports rather than performance. Here’s each model explained and how to pick the right one. For the wider generation picture, see our overview of what we know about the SuperBox S8.

Note: the S8 has launched. The S8 Max is in stock now; the S8 Pro and S8 Ultra are temporarily out of stock and returning soon (the S8 Plus is not currently available). Check the product pages for current availability.

What’s the Same Across Every S8 Model?

The engine. All four S8 models run the same quad-core Cortex-A53 processor with 4GB of RAM, Android 12 with the Google Play Store, and 6K video support, with WiFi 6, gigabit ethernet, Bluetooth 5.2, and HDMI 2.1. That means everyday streaming performance is identical no matter which you pick. The differences are storage and ports — so the only real questions are how many apps you’ll install and which port layout you prefer.

S8 Pro: The Entry Model

The S8 Pro is the entry point at 32GB of storage, with USB-C ports and Type-C charging. It has the same processor, RAM, and connectivity as every other model, so it streams just as smoothly. It suits a secondary TV or a lighter setup where you install a focused set of apps — the value choice when you don’t need extra storage.

S8 Plus and S8 Max: The Middle Tiers

Both the S8 Plus and the S8 Max carry 64GB of storage — double the Pro’s headroom — which suits a main TV with a broader app mix. The difference between them is ports: the S8 Max uses USB-C and Type-C charging, while the S8 Plus uses an older USB 2.0 port and a round charging plug. That positions the Plus a step below the Max despite the matching storage, so if port modernity matters to you, the Max is the stronger of the two 64GB options.

S8 Ultra: The Flagship

The S8 Ultra tops the line with 128GB of storage and the full modern port set — USB-C and Type-C charging. It’s built for households that install a large app library or want maximum long-term headroom. Our S8 Pro vs. S8 Ultra comparison digs into the entry-versus-flagship decision in more detail.

Which S8 Model Should You Choose?

Pick by storage and ports, since performance is the same across the line. Choose the S8 Pro for value or a secondary TV, a 64GB model for a main TV with a fuller app mix (the Max if you want modern USB-C ports, the Plus if its older ports are a non-issue for you), and the S8 Ultra for maximum headroom. Answer one question honestly — how many apps will you install? — and the right model follows.

The Bottom Line

The four S8 models share the same engine, so the choice is about storage and ports: the Pro (32GB) for value, the Plus and Max (64GB each) for a main TV — the Max with newer ports — and the Ultra (128GB) for maximum headroom. Match the tier to how many apps you install, and you’ve picked the right S8. The S8 Max is available now, with the Pro and Ultra returning to stock soon.
