Well let's not wait let's have a look at this Naked Beast and see what it can do

Firstly I added some plastic standoff under PCB to avoid any flash Bang
Then a USB powered fan with some smaller stand plastic standoff to keep the cool for now.


Fired up and away we go

Quick to boot Android 8.1.0, Tablet version
Basic as this is and being the first release it's what I expected, many to follow i feel
Superceleron has one of these, so expect some Hot Roms down the track
Balbes150 I believe is also in the mix, more goodies plus countless others, fun times ahead
May take a little while, but many players in this field

Now is the time to get it from Indiegogo just the base unit is all you need
Case Fan heat sink power supply etc, and you will have a very swish RK3399 unit...
Only need the rest (captain etc) if you are going into some hard core stuff and Developing.

As mentioned Running Oreo 8.1.0
We have Root
Upper and Lower Task Notification bar
And a simple clean rom, the rest is up to the user

I will run a few test/benchmark as I normally do with Android apps.
Just to give an Idea of how it goes, how compatible or true the Benchmark is show is always subjective.
So use as a guide, I think this will be pretty darn fine.

On with a bit of Show and Tell

UI basic does the job with ease


System Info


Root access


Installed Apps


Ethernet Connection

WiFi Connection ( Hmm forgot to plug antennae)


3DMARK


ANTUTU



SD Card Test

I noticed first test a bit up and down,

Will be adding as it happens...this could be fun..

Edge and accessories starting to look pretty good. The housing(case) for the Edge V looks great with that heatsink fan combo.

Been a while since I have been this enthusiastic about a new device.
Some excellent developers, twisting the knobs and dials, will bode well for the Edge and Edge V. And most of these devs are right here in the Freaktab neighborhood. Life is good.
Something for everybody.

[superceleron]

Well i just want to get mine.. to start doing some stuff for it
