The Contents of said box, Quality HDMI cable, USB A: to 5v/3amp power pack, good looking remote.

Box and good looking remote feels good in the hand

Power switch and a close look at ports

Look under small rubber feet and vents, I would have liked to seen some a few mm thicker to help with air circulation.

Look inside,
Under side not a lot to see.

Top side where all the action is,

Without heatsink

Close up of Ram, eMMC. Heat Sink stuck on good and proper so should be very efficient

Wifi Chip

Thanks, waiting for more.

Lets Continue and have a look at the UI/system and maybe a little bench testing on the
First switch on Easy
Google easy Signup..
Updated Apps and added some for Bench testing.

With all Bench testing they are numbers that give an Idea on how things are working/performing
How compatible they are with Android 7 and in giving a true indication is always open for some speculation.
But gives an idea if its got the goods..

But a bit of a look around first
Using the Logitech k400 easy not navigate around, also using the remote working good, but I am more a keyboard person.
Good looking UI easy to use and follow

Running Android 7.1.2

Using the 32 inch Sony at present, test on 4k later

Couple of power off options, short push off, Bqeel MVR9 goes to a standby mode, Long push Power Button you have a choice.

Click on weather icon, top right Home screen and took pointed to these settings to customise

And gives you a bit of a detailed look at what we have to look forward to

Adding Apps to Home screen easy as

Built in File Browser, doing the Net hood thing esy to use.

DRM like most.

Ram Truth reports 2GB

Storage Truth Close as it will to 16 with what is already installed etc

Good old CPU-Z, gives and bit of an idea of what is going on

[trebor]

Now for the numbers, being RK3328 running at 1.5, Bench marks scores will be modest for what ever they are really worth, I can tell you by using the Bqeel it is very smooth in all test done so far, switchon/boot is quick and general performance is snappy, running 64bit A7 also seems to be adding to this improvement as I have seen with others.

Temps in Bqeel looking ok Idle Hi 40c...doing stuff 60~70c pending on the job at hand

WiFi Speed

Ethernet Connection speed

[trebor]

The installed RKMC and Kodi played most files tested what did not play well in Kodi twins, the inbuilt player was able to handle eg VP9 not good in RKMC, 100% in Media player, should have all file formats covered.

Hooked up BT speaker all good easy pair

• YT 1080p stream easy
• Netflix as we no HD/4K, looked fine. to Audio Sync problems easy.
• No upper or lower task bar, miss the upper at times, lower task bar over it not required (keyboard user) I feel, but someone will.
• No root at present, But enabling developers options you will see the option in there.
• UI is good and a zippy unit for the first Rom, I have been advised update coming soon to get OTA organised etc.

Quality of Product looks good, and supplied with quality HDMI cable, USB A to A, 3amp power pack.
Ethernet and WiFi looking good at this location...
5GHZ/ AC may help others just get an extender or closer to you router is the easy fix.

There will be more on this Unit as we go along this just to give you an idea.

You can publish a test LAN to 1Gb network ? Users there is doubt that there is a real LAN 1GB.

And perhaps you can share information about the possibility of buying this model.

They coupled a Realtek RTL8211F transceiver with Mnova MS0860 transformer for Gigabit Ethernet, and use Realtek RTL8723BS module for wireless connectivity (802.11 b/g/n WiFi + Bluetooth 4.0 LE).
