Today, we were surprised to find an Android TV box on AliExpress called the HS89 PRO 15, which features a SoC we hadn’t heard of before: the Rockchip RK3539.
The new Rockchip RK3539 chip is a quad-core processor with ARM Cortex-A55 cores clocked at up to 1.8 GHz. The GPU is an ARM Mali-G310, likely running at 1 GHz, the same one used in the Amlogic S905X5M SoC. This chip comes with support for AV1 and HDR10, and it appears to offer a significant boost in graphics performance compared to other solutions from this brand, such as the RK3528, which uses a much older GPU like the ARM Mali-450.
This SoC comes with 2/4 GB of DDR3 RAM and 16/32 GB of eMMC storage. The HS89 PRO 15 also features Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.4 connectivity.
The available ports include one USB 2.0, one USB 3.0, an SPDIF output, a microSD card reader, analog audio and video outputs, an HDMI 2.0 port, and a 10/100 RJ45 Ethernet port.
Finally, the operating system is Android 14, and it includes a remote control with a microphone for use with any voice assistant or voice command feature.
