Review on Allwinner Quad Core Cortex A53 Supports Dual Band by Brandon Hilton

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Doesn't provide a good Android interface and doesn't support core Android applications

I just set this up yesterday and I'm very disappointed so far.* The interface "looks" interesting and nice , But with the remote control, it is VERY difficult to control the included remote control. It's often difficult to know which icon has focus, and navigating from one icon to the next seems very choppy. It turns out that the remote has a "mouse" option, and I actually like it as it allows you to move the pointer to where you want it, much more smoothly, like a computer. However, it's not intuitive at all.* It doesn't seem to support two major apps I installed from the Google Play Store. * Yukon TV is an app for a local cable TV provider in Fairbanks, Alaska, GCI. It works on all my other Android devices (Lenovo tablet, Samsung phone, Revain Fire, EVO PRO TV box) but on this device all it does is a blank screen when I try to start it . * NewsOn is a popular US local news streaming app. It also works on all my other Android devices, but when I try to launch it on this device, it just goes back to the My Apps screen after a second or two. It feels like a box of potential and I could probably get used to the mouse-like interface, but this inability to support mainstream Android apps really gets in the way.

Pros
  • 4GB RAM + 128GB ROM
Cons
