Everyday there are more and more Chinese gadgets in the market, but not all the products are able to stand out. However it is incredible how those devices can imitate the features from the known brands.

I would like to talk about the TV-Box iPPLi ip.i9, device which has the SoC Rockchip Rk3288 Quad core Cortes-A17 @ 1.8Ghz, being the first android TV device in the market with this chip.
By default the firmware doesn’t support Google Play, hopefully two weeks later the company developed an upgrade with some improves and including Google Play.

As we can see in the pictures, the device has a cylindrical shape, which allow the camera to have a better view.
The box includes the remote control however I prefer to use a wireless keyboard with mouse through the USB port and it works perfectly.
Another advantage of the Android operating system is the easy control and manage of the device, it is like another android phone but with the limitations of the tablets without SIMs.

At the moment I am using it as a video player (multimedia contents in my NAS) with Kodi (the new version of XBMC) or video streaming with youtube, Netflix, ipla, etc.
Thanks to the rockchip processor it is really simple to root it, there are different tools which allow you to do that: iroot and/or root_genius.
The CONS points, but don’t forget his low price:
- Microphone doesn’t work or it doesn’t have it.
- Low camera quality
- Small capacity storage for additional applications, however we can always install them in the external storage or NAND flash
- Ethernet port doesn’t work or it is not enable.
- Updates from RockChip or iPPLi
