Today on AliExpress, we’re featuring the new RockTek G2S media player, which runs on Google TV 14 and supports the latest video formats.
Inside, it features the Amlogic S905X5M-J quad-core processor, which is more powerful than its predecessor, the Amlogic S905X4, and comes in this version with support for Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision. With the new Mali-G310 V2 GPU, which doubles its graphics performance, you’ll get even more power, as you can see in our review.
The box features 2 GB of RAM and 32 GB of eMMC 5.1 storage, which can be expanded via the included microSD card reader. In terms of wireless connectivity, the RockTek G2S includes Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2. The included ports are one USB 2.0 port, two USB-C ports (one for power), a Gigabit Ethernet port, an SPDIF digital audio output, and an HDMI 2.1b video output supporting up to 4K@75 Hz resolution.
The system runs Google TV 14 and appears to have DRM certifications for watching Netflix 4K and similar services like Prime Video and Disney in high quality. It’s an interesting box, but it falls far short of the Xiaomi TV Box S (3rd Gen), which has similar features, a better update policy, and can be purchased for half the price.
It includes a power adapter and a Bluetooth remote control with a microphone for issuing commands via Google Assistant and possibly an infrared sensor.
Availability and Best Price
- The new Box with the Amlogic S905X5M-J RockTek G2S processor is available on AliExpress for about €110 with free shipping.
