Khadas VIM3L SBC Review with Android 9 Firmware

Khadas VIM3L is the first and so far only Amlogic S905D3 SBC on the market, so I first ran some benchmarks and checked system info. But it is also designed to be an HTPC, I'll continue the review with some 4K video and audio playback testing, some gaming, and I/O benchmarks.
Khadas VIM3L Unboxing
As you may remember (or not), VIM3L ships either as a bare board pre-loaded with Android 9 or as an HTPC kit with the board running CoreELEC.
I've received the bare board which also comes with two WiFi antennas.
