It seems that cheap Android TV-Sticks offer more and more things every day, like the X88 PRO T1. In their advertising they put all the compatible paid streaming services, something that as we know, is basically a lie.
This stick offers us the low-end SoC Rockchip RK3518, so we are in front of a very basic processor. This is a TV-Stick designed to be used as a media player or with apps that do not need certificates such as YouTube, KODI or IPTV, as it does not have any. We cannot expect very smooth performance from this system because the processor is not going to deploy high power.
Its operating system is Android 14 which will be a system version imitating Google TV, but badly. The only positive point is that it comes with Wifi 6 and Bluetooth 5.4, something that will help us to have a connection with some stability. We have 2 GB DDR3 on the board and for storage we find 16 GB eMMc. We also have a micro SD card reader on one of its sides to expand storage if we find it convenient.
With this Android TV Stick we have a remote control with Bluetooth microphone and HDMI cable to start using this Box just by taking it out of the box and connecting it to our TV. For its power supply we have a USB-C to USB-A cable that we have to connect to a USB port of our TV or any charger,
