Netflix 4K certified MECOOL KM2 S905X2-B TV Box runs Android TV 10
There are plenty of Amlogic TV boxes around, but unless you buy from the big players, most devices won’t support Netflix FullHD/4K because certification is hard to get for smaller companies.
The Hailstorm device scaling program launched in 2018 aimed to make the process easier on Amlogic and Hisilicon processors, and HiMedia S1 TV dongle was one of the first to get approved. But now MECOOL KM2 joins the rank of Netflix 4K certified devices. The TV box is powered by an Amlogic S905X2-B processor running Android TV 10, also known as Android TV on Android 10.
MECOOL KM2 specifications:
Besides Netflix 4K, the TV box supports Chromecast, Google Assistant, Amazon Prime Video, Youtube 4K, and firmware can be upgraded through OTA or USB firmware upgrade. MECOOL also says that Disney+ and other apps can be installed during FTI via PAI. When asked what that means I was told “apps could be suggested to be selected to install recording to user location” together with the screenshot below.
I still have no idea what FTI and PAI mean, but at least we know that some apps can be installed through Google Play…
The TV box will ship with a Bluetooth & Infrared remote control coming with Netflix & Amazon buttons, and the company informed us pre-orders will open later this month, and shipping is scheduled for April 15th. So it’s a retail device and not another Android TV device for operators.
