R28 Pro/Meta-Hardware/Thermal/case issue feedback here

For the Tronsmart Orion R28 users to post and discuss their testing experiences in specific areas.

I just received my Meta and I do have a bit of a complaint about the build quality. It is really light for one but for me the kicker is that the connector for the wifi antennae is really fragile! I was screwing it on and gave it a little extra twist (not very hard at all) and the connector broke!

I think it is still connected to the wifi module but it is not connected to the case so the antennae is pretty limp. Attach with care! Seems to still function so I am not sure if I will file a complaint. It's probably not worth the hassle since it still functions..

The blue light on the top of the power button is kind of annoying too. I like how the Minix X8/-H has a very faint power light on the side.

My Tronsmart Orion R28 Meta thermal notice:

Android-Desktop (idle) 60-62°C
xbmc 1080p h264 usage can raise the cpu-temperature above 70°C

That's ok, because of the "small" case, and the SoC can get really hot without any issue and the kernel also begin to throttles at ~105°C

The issue of the antenna connector being potentially fragile has been reported back to Tronsmart from the initial testers evaluations.
