Android 11 X88 Pro 20 8GB Ram / 64GB Storage : Is anyone using/previously used this device?

[Mutt Daeng]

I'm thinking of getting an X88 Pro 20 to use mainly as a media player for content I download on another device. However, in the future, I may decide to purchase an IPTV subscription or stream from other sources on the WWW. My current H/W is Minix U9-H with 2GB Ram & 16GB storage running on Android 7.1.2, which was a decent spec when I first bought it but is a 'bit tired" now. I would therefore be interested to hear from people with knowledge of the X88 device and who could potentially advise me in the following areas which would both be deal-breakers for me:

 A) Does it have the full official google playstore?

 B) Can I use a wireless mouse/KB on this model? I don't like air mice. 

 

Thanks in advance to anyone who can assist.

Lots of reviews online, incl Youtube.

 

Based on a quick scan of the specs I'd say this unit supports the official Play Store, and can support a keyboard.mouse (USB or Bluetooth).

But no navigation bar or status bar....

Take a look at the user reviews on freaktab.

 

I think there is no support for this device should you have problems.

 

Probably better to consider another minix product or one of the mini pc units (windows or linux) now available.

x96 s905x3 or HK1 boxes are better value for money and have similar fire power.

Thanks,

Do the above boxes have the full official google playstore installed?

Some may, some may not. It usually depends on the Android implementation.

 

You'll have to look for detailed tech reviews for an answer.

 

Another issue to consider is the the box may be crippled on streaming services like NetFlix, Amazon/Prime, Hulu, etc. Some are limited to 480p.
