As I announced already in the comments, it’s time to present the latest model of Android PC’s Rikomagic (RKM), and that is the MK902II. Your computer is equipped with a Rockchip RK3288 processor Quad-Core, which is already describing the occasion of the last review.
Specifications, appearance and contents of the box
Of course, that the tradition has been done can not miss specyfikacyjnego bullet ( I wonder all the time when blogs will be possible to create a table):
- CPU: Rockchip RK3288 Cortex-A17
- Layout: Mali-T764
- System: Android 4.4.2
- RAM: 2GB DDR3
- Nand: Flash8GB / 16 GB eMMC
- WiFi: 802.11, 2.4G / 5G
- Bluetooth: 4.0
The appearance is the same as his older battle-ax MK902. The front is the receiver IR LED for status and small printed logo Android and device model. On both sides there are two USB ports and vents shaped robot known to us. In addition, on the left side was placed antenna wireless signal sorters and Recovery button. On the opposite besides these ports is a microSD card slot. WIFI signal. The back of the box is most ports of entry adapter, the A / V outputs (HDMI, SPDIF, Video Mini Jack), ending with the Ethernet input. However, in the box after the same MK902II find a small remote control, USB OTG cable to update your device to PC, HDMI cable, RCA cable-MiniJack and power supply 5V / 2.5A.
First start
After connecting MK902II starts automatically and after only a few seconds greets us setup, which we get the basic setup. Rikomagic installed on your device tiled launcher, which is easy to use and clear thanks to large icons. But one drawback – it can not be provided for-configure … And if you prefer the standard launcher that we can easily change it by selecting the appropriate option in the settings or install yet another of the Shop Play.
System and Applications
Android Sam is in Version 4.4.2 Kitkat- that is one of the latest build. The system was installed by default, some basic applications like XBMC MediaCenter, a basic file browser, or RKGameController – the operation of which I presented on the occasion of the box Minix NEO reviews X7 mini.Dodatkowo manufacturer left zrootowane device, which gives us more options. For example, we can remove the pre-installed applications, which we consider unnecessary.
A / V
When you first start Rikomagic when it is plugged in via HDMI it reads the information from the EDID and sets the highest possible resolution for the receiver. In my case it was a 1920x1080p (60Hz). Naturally we can bezproblemu change – by checking the option in the settings. Additionally, you can configure other image parameters such as brightness, contrast, or saturation. In the same menu you can select the video output to be used as the default – we have a choice between HDMI and analog output. In the sound settings, you can choose between PCM, Spdif Passthoughi or HDMI Bitstream (HDMI pass-through). Sound without any charge reaches the TV connected via HDMI or RCA-mini plug. However, I failed to check the operation of the optical output, because my receiver refused to obey. Most of the options available in this device coincide with those available in the K-R68, because both devices are equipped with the same processor, which is responsible for the provision of such functionality.
Media
MK902II seamlessly cope with playing all file formats – were tested for the really hardcore pieces of Full HD (60fps) at 4K (60fps). With pre-installed XBMC MediaCenter and I have not encountered any problem. All my visual tests that came out of the box on a large five. Although I read on the forum RKM that he has a problem with the new H.265 codec and VP9 that do not play smoothly – you can see I need to update the concept pack test. After an incomplete for my parcel I made a test video AnTuTu Tester.
Memory
My MK902II has 8GB built-in memory, which is divided as in the K-R68, which 1,91GB system and the rest for user data. RK sells its device version of the sixteen-gigabyte NAND, where Tyla system partition allocated the same space. Of course, if someone were not enough you can always expand the memory device with a microSD card – up to 32GB.
Performance
RKM MK902II with Rockchip RK3288 processor integrated, which has a Cortex-A12 architecture (interchangeably referred to as A17), which improved version of the A9. Quad-core system manufactured in 28 nm technology and clocked at 1.8 GHz, the time of the Mali-T764 graphics create a truly harmonious duet. What can be seen in everyday use of TV-Box. Everything works smoothly, no crashes, or restarts. But let’s get to the digits … They write a review K-R68 I made a few benchmarks, the same thing I do in the current test model and see if the same system used – is just as efficient? Is firmware prepared by the producers has a large impact on performance? As you can see in the above images in benchmark tests Rockchip system performs quite well. Compared to the previous Android Box, the results are similar, so changes in the system, which manufacturers introduce not have much impact on the assessment of the Benchmarks.
Pilot
Pilot, which we find in the kit along with MK902II is quite simple and nice in the hand – I would be tempted to define it ergonomic. We have the standard buttons that we find in other remote controls (all is well illustrated by the picture below).
Summary
Though, despite the problems with playing the new codecs (for sure this will be fixed in the upcoming update), the unit most meet expectations – as the successor to the older model. Large power stroke is a good feature of the younger brother, who only enters the market and shows the claw. In my home lab, recently there is a lot of these gadgets and I must say that at this moment again, I have to change my favorite and the first place usadzić just RKM MK902II, which is similar in performance to Kingnovel K-R68, but wins for me when it comes to the appearance of the cover – somehow I have a weakness for simple shapes, and speaking of the Universal Box expect cuboid:)
RKM MK902II can now break for 121 € in the official store Rikomagic on Aliexpress.com, of course, the price is dependent of how much memory model is selected.
