I have the MINIX Neo S1 with me. The only difference between the S1 and S2 is the storage capacity. For just S$30 more, you will get twice the capacity, and hence this makes the Neo S2 a better buy as it is more value for money.

On paper, Neo S1 supports up to 350 MB/s read and write speed while the S2 supports up to 400MB/s. During my testing of the Neo S1, it exceeds the speed specifications. I managed to get up to 402 MB/s for write and 414 MB/s for read.
