My experience with Chinese Allwinner based SBC's has been not good. Stick with a Pi or Beaglebone. Even something well done like the CHIP has been not very great, and that's about as good as the ecosystem can get.

4k video sounds neat until you remember that almost no venues have the equipment to project 4k.... or that from where the crowd is viewing the visuals they probably couldn't even notice a difference between 480p and 720p or 1080p

My experience with Allwinner was positive. I had Rikomagic PC in USB stick. There was like 5x Linuxes and was usable with just one core... All depends on Linux distribution and drivers... We will see. But what I like is size. Well I own 2x Pi and I like it and I want Pi Zero but I cant found it in my country... Anyways. H3-Nano looks like nice alternative...
