What I am looking for is a stable RK3188 box, made with quality components and quality construction such as ESD and proper heat dissipation.
I have been at this for a couple of years now and tried many SoC, from AMLogic to Allwinner (hah) to RK3188. I really prefer RK3188 because of the ability to re-flash NAND using RKAndroidTool. To me that is a superior feature which raises RK3188 above all the others.
I like the CS-918 design which looks like this:
Of course, like most Android boxes it goes by many model numbers, such as K-R42, MK888, Q7 and so on. What I am looking for is the best quality version of this model. If there is no high quality version of this model (ie all are crap) then what should I be looking for?
Recently I have bought a batch of Q7 boxes (XT-Q7-V10) from a Chinese supplier, and have not been happy with them. They seem to be poor build construction, and use cheap components that are causing me headaches. They also change the components frequently which causes firmware problems.
I have read that these lower quality boxes are made by ENY, and that the higher quality ones come from Beelink/Tronsmart. If that's true, where do I buy them from? Keeping in mind I am reselling them and would like to make some decent margin on them.
