Today we found on AliExpress another small Stick to connect to our TV and use it among other things as a multimedia player with Android, the X88 PRO TI.
This is a Stick with Android of the cheapest range that includes the Rockchip RK3518 processor, a cut version of the already basic Rockchip RK3528, so we are in front of a very basic processor. This is a Stick with Android designed to be used as a multimedia player up to Full HD resolutions or with apps that do not need certificates such as YouTube or IPTV, as it does not have any certification. If we are looking for quality in paid streaming platforms such as Netflix, we should opt for other systems with certified Android.
Its operating system by the looks of it is Android TV 14 with AirPlay and Miracast support to stream content wirelessly from any compatible mobile or tablet. As always this Stick with Rockchip SoC comes with Wifi 6 and Bluetooth 5, a positive point.
Specifications of the X88 PRO TI
This small Android Stick includes a simple low-end Rockchip RK3518 processor. This Chip is a Quad Core with ARM Cortex-A53 processors reaching 1.42 Ghz and a modest ARM MALI-450 MP2 GPU of which we do not know its clock speed.
For RAM we have a single version available with 2 GB DDR3 and for storage we find 16 GB eMMc. We also have a micro SD card reader on one side from where we can expand the storage memory.
Other notable features
In the field of wireless connectivity we have this time Wifi 6 with internal antenna and Bluetooth 5.0. As connectors we find in its small plastic box a single USB 2.0 port, jack to connect the IR sensor extension and an HDMI 2.0 output port that allows us to output video up to 4K@60fps resolutions.
This Stick comes with 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 that has 5V/ 1 A, since it does not have a charger.
Price and where to buy
- The X88 PRO TI Android TV-Stick can be purchased on AliExpress for about $23 / 19 € with free shipping using coins and discount code IFP6MOJ
