Conclusion:

It is same for me now to discuss what I like and don't like with this Coocaa model the one they call Coocaa 55Y72 Google TV. I see it all, the only downside in this model is the back cover, since it is only made out of galvanized sheet to cut cost. 

Downside for me since this kind of metal it is not strong as what we expected. It curved outward when I pulled out and curved onward every time I pushes it. Therefore, with the weight it have, wall mounting it will deform the back cover a little bit outward.

But overall, this Coocaa Google TV with model name 55Y72 is a beauty. The basic version of Google system doesn't affect it's feature.
