Oh and I guess the operating system. 5.1 is what most of them have. This hizpo one has 7.1 nougat. (Again; I'm an iOS guy, this stuff is new for me )

Yes, the Hizpo uses the RK3188 (Rockchips Cortex A9).
When it comes to these head units the android version is not as important as it would be on a phone or tablet, IMO. Where you might use your phone for a dozen different things daily, a head unit will probably be doing the same two or three things all of the time. The newest 7.1 units will still be running the same versions of Torque, maps, Spotify, whatever as a 4.4.4 unit.
The versions of android these ship with are torn apart and hacked back together to be able to communicate with the MCU, only use certain dongles (sometimes), etc. It's not real pretty in most cases but is functional, or can be made functional.
You could buy two or three and set them up on a bench to play with...if purchased through somewhere like Amazon returning them shouldn't really be an issue.
Regarding bluetooth OBDII adapters; for a few more bucks you can get a USB model like the OBDLink SX...no pairing problems and it reads PIDs faster.
