These look like packaging or kit figures and no maker source confirms them, so no dimensions or weight are stored.

Form factoriA stick plugs straight into the HDMI port. A dongle hangs from its own short fixed HDMI lead. A box stands on its own and connects by a separate cable.

Dolby Atmos scalar remains unconfirmed: TechRadar calls the HD model Atmos-capable but does not publish a tested format/app, and its introduction also misnames Plus.
