It has been a while since we had a new Android TV-Box powerful and interesting, with the Beelink GT-King II we have a new toy in this range thanks to the SoC Amlogic A311D2.
This new TV-Box in addition to the processor offers Android 11 and no less than 8 GB of RAM LPDDR4X, certainly an interesting machine for those who need these specifications. We also have Wi-fi 6 2T2R + BT 5.0 integrated to have good wireless connectivity, Gigabit Ethernet adapter and video decoding support up to 8K@30fps.
As usual this type of TV-Box lacks the certificates to view paid streaming platforms such as Netflix in maximum video quality, for that there are other more efficient alternatives. This is a device for the user looking for power and a classic Android system.
Beelink GT-King II Specifications
The Beelink GT-King II Smart Box includes the new Octa Core SoC Amlogic A311D2 manufactured in 12 nm, with 4 ARM Cortex-A73 processors capable of reaching 1.8Ghz + 4 ARM Cortex-A53 processors reaching 1.9Ghz. The GPU is an ARM Mali-G52 with four cores that allows us to run powerful games like PUBG, as you can see in the GT-King 1 Review.
As for VPU we have the Amlogic Video Engine processor with support for AV1 codec, this hardware supports HDR, Dolby Vision, Advanced HDR10 and HDR10+. But the certificates will limit its final compatibility in this aspect.
The on-board soldered RAM memory is 8 GB LPDDR4X at 4266 MHz, while the storage is 64 GB eMMc 5.1 high-speed. We can expand the storage thanks to a micro SD card reader on the side.
Connectivity and other features
In terms of wireless connectivity the Android Box Beelink GT-King II has Wi-fi 6 2T2R + Bluetooth 5.0, Gigabit Ethernet port, SPDIF digital audio output, an HDMI 2.1 up to 4K@60fps and a 3.5 mm jack for analog audio and video output.
Included in the package we have a Bluetooth + IR remote control that allows us to also control the system by pointer thanks to its flymouse function. It has in the same remote control integrated microphone to use an assistant.
As a system we have Android 11, sure that with Beelink we will have an interesting number of updates, also in the future may offer support for alternative systems such as EmuELEC.
Price and availability
