Review on πŸ–₯️ RKM Quad Core 4K Android Mini PC: 2GB RAM, 16GB ROM, WiFi, Ethernet, Bluetooth 4.0, HDMI Player - Smart Streaming Media Player v5 by Charles Palma

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Promising, but there are problems

In general, the device has convinced me. Video playback in Kodi is excellent. Not giving 5 stars as there is no option to turn it on. The device sometimes turns off when the TV is turned off. I am concerned that this is not a graceful shutdown and that the device will fail over time. I wish it could go to sleep like an Apple TV and just wake up with the push of a button on the remote. With the remote control Minix Neo A2. Works fine except some buttons don't work (home, task button, menu). The default audio is also broadcast remotely, and the default audio output setting is not saved. I will check again if I can solve the power issues as I would like this device to be on demand like Roku, AppleTV and Nvidia Shield. Edit: I am revising my rating to 4 stars. I was able to solve the power issue by disabling AnyNET auto-off on my Samsung TV. After this change, V5 will stay enabled all the time. I can pause a movie in Kodi, turn off the TV and come back a day later, and when I turn on the TV and switch to the V5 input, the video is waiting!

Pros
  • I'm looking forward to it
Cons
  • Not fashionable
