Points of difference

Difference 1: Start-up speed difference

Android screen startup time is about 35 seconds.

LINUX screen startup time is about 9 seconds.

Difference 2: Price difference

Android screens are relatively expensive due to their functionality and highly regulated configuration.

LINUX screens are relatively simple in terms of functionality and configuration and are relatively inexpensive.

Difference 3: APP Download and Installation

Android screens support downloading and installing APPs.

LINUX screens can't download APPs and only support using some APPs by connecting CarPlay and Android Auto.

Difference 4: SIM card and TF/SD card difference

Android screens have built-in SIM card and SD/TF card slots, supporting SIM card network and TF/SD card memory expansion.

LINUX screens have no SIM card and SD/TF card slots, and do not support SIM card and TF/SD card functions.

Difference 5: Built-in navigation

Android screens come with built-in navigation and support connecting a GPS antenna, allowing direct navigation use without connecting a phone.

LINUX screens do not have built-in navigation and do not support connecting a GPS antenna; navigation must be used through a phone with CarPlay and Android Auto connected.

Difference 6: Memory Difference

Android screens support the selection of memory configurations.

LINUX screens do not support the selection of memory configurations.

Difference 7: Antenna and installation difficulty

Android screens support GPS and SIM cards, and are standardly equipped with GPS and 4G antennas. Installing these antennas requires finding their location and routing cables, making installation relatively difficult.

LINUX screens do not support GPS and SIM cards, so they don't require GPS and 4G antenna installation, making installation relatively easy.

Difference 8: CPU difference

Android screens use a Qualcomm processor.

LINUX screens use a Sunplus processor.

Difference 9: Aftermarket Reverse Camera

Android screens support installation of 1080P and 720P AHD/CVBS aftermarket reversing cameras.

LINUX screens only support installing 720P aftermarket reversing cameras.

Similarity 2: Dual system switching

Both Android and LINUX screens support OEM systems as well as quick switching between corresponding aftermarket systems (Android/LINUX).

Android screens and LINUX screens both support installation of aftermarket reverse cameras.

Similarity 4: Same screen specs
