Zidoo X6 PRO TV Box Review
X6 is certainly a very powerful tool for your TV/monitor. But is it powerful enough?
Don't rush it! Let's inspect it the right way. The package that we received is very elegant and it gives you a premium feeling. It's minimal design in combination with it's durability makes it the perfect packaging for any product.

As we walk our way inner we find the device itself, sitting in it's own carton box and further at the bottom we find the accesories box. There's the remote, the power adapter, the HDMI and all the paperwork. Again premium packaging.
Accessories
The remote control, has a great size and design. It's quality is far better than the majority I used. There's an issue for me on it though: As a PC user I'm used to a specific numpad, and that remote has a completely different numpad layout. It's frustrating. And another thing was bizzare, too: It didn't include 2xAAA bateries. I know, minor details, but they do make the difference. Also another thing is that you will find it difficult to actually write something. The best thing you could do, is to buy a cordless keyboard with bluetooth or WiFi.
Design
The X6 is made of aluminium alloy and plastic. It's design is just perfect: little, elegant, gorgeous. At the front there's the IR receiver for the remote's signal. At the left-side it has 2xUSB 2.0 ports and a Micro SD slot (it supports up to 32GBs). You can use one of the USB's as an OTG port. That transaltes to "you can power an external device from that" (such as a hard drive). At the rear side you can find: The Power adapter DC/5V, a CVBS port, an Ethernet, a HDMI 2.0 ( provides up to 4K resolution at 60fps) and an Optical connector.
Benchmarks and specs
It's packing an Octacore Rockchip RK3368 64bit clocked at 1.5GHz, 2GBs or RAM, 16GBs of internal storage, GPU SGX6110, built-in WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0, Ethernet and Android 5.1 Lollipop.
The RAM and the internal storage are more than enough for everyday use. Also the GPU performs real good for video streaming (up to 4K).
See the video for Zidoo X6 PRO's capabilities on video streaming, gaming experience and more.
The Rockchip RK3368 is a 64bit, Octacore chip and it's clock speed can reach the 1.5GHz per core (so Zidoo says so). I ran a few benchmarks with GeekBench and as it turned out it's clock speed were 1.2GHz instead of 1.5GHz. At average it scored 2,394 and 641 single core. It's a pretty decent score for a CPU clocked at 1.2GHz. Actually it scored better than the Snapdragon 615 @1.5MHz (2,371 overal & 638 single core).
During the benchmarks I figured out that when I had mouse & keyboard connected the performance got worse.
Conclusion
The Zidoo X6 PRO has surprised me very positively. It's performance in addition with the Android Lollipop and it's design makes it one of the top TV boxes out there. If you are looking for a powerful little machine with wonderful skills of camouflaging in your living room then the Zidoo X6 PRO is the way to go.
It's retail price on geekbuying.com is 88.45€ (or 99$). Buy it now here with free shipping.
Positives
+ Design
+ CPU
+ Android 5.1
+ Built in Google Play
+ Pre-installed Kodi Isengard
+ Better than cheap Smart TV
+ Value for money
Negatives
- 1.2GHz instead of 1.5GHz
- Remote control's numpad
- Doesn't include 2xAAA batteries
- 3rd party Youtube app

it's main features are Core M Cpu, wich is more powerfull and less power Hungry, but way more expensive than Baytrail Cpus ! 100 to 200 Usd more expensive to be honest, is 50% more power worth it? what do you think?
it also features a better Gbu and 4Gb of Ram !
To guarantee the tablet’s expansibility, the PIPO K2 offers a slew of ports and slots (a micro USB3.0 port, a micro HDMI port, a micro SD card slot and a 3.5mm audio jack).
pipo K2 comes with quite a heavy but complete Keyboard
When attached Pipo K2 looks like a Real Laptop
Although the screen resolution is only 1,366 × 768 the contrast and color controls are very good, this may have a good impact on the price and Battery life too
The Price will be of 400 USD in China and so 450 up to 500 USD for Overseas Countries is to be expected
which is still quite expensive comparing to The previous windows Generation,
The Main reason is that windows stopped subsidizing it's Cpus the same way it did last year ! meaning that the new Generation Cpus are 200$ more expensive for everyone.
What do you think ?
Will chinease Core M tablets make it ?
For me Pipo K2 seems to be an ACER Aspire Switch 11 Clone with way better Functionality and characteristics For Almost the same place,
Will these be enough to convince customers to pay that much for a Chinese Brand? Only time can tell .
This is a very cheap device that performs somewhat decent. Running Android 5.1.

You can look here: http://www.doogeemobile.com/blog/how-to-root-doogee-hone/
Doesnt work. This is for g550 phone. Look javierin the comments. This is me. So please, put real info. Iknow how to search in google too.
No, they are reseller and in this foro the root they mention isnt a root for doogeex5. It does not work.
I managed to get myself a decent deal on a Doogee X5 here for $59,99, and this is my review of the phone itself:
http://www.dd4.com/goods/Original-D...HD-IPS-5.0MP-sim-dual-Wcdma-Unlock_60658.html
The X5 is Doogee’s entry to the budget phone market and the reason why it caught my eye was that it boasts a 5” 720P screen a quad core MediaTek CPU as well as Android 5.1 for less than 60 USD, which is almost unbelievable at this price point.
The box the phone came in was rather plain with some details regarding the specifications, IMEI and such, but other than that there’s not much worth mentioning. Inside the box is the phone itself, a short manual as well as a charger for the phone. So when it comes to the phone itself it’s completely made out of plastic, but it feels very solid due to a built-in metal construction. On the side of the phone there’s a power button and volume rockers, and on the front there’s a 720P IPS panel with decent viewing angles.
When it comes to the CPU, it boasts a Mediatek MTK6580 CPU that provide decent performance for daily usage (such as YouTube, browsing the web etc.) and it compares to the Snapdragon 400 system-on-a-chip. The main performance drawback is the built-in GPU, Mali 400, which leaves much to ask when it comes to performance in games and other 3D applications.
So when it comes to the software experience I’m pleased, as it’s a very pure version of Android with just a few additional applications. The UI is very fluid and smooth, and I’ve not noticed any major issues when navigating the phone, other than a few stutters when running many applications at once, which I suspect is related to the limited amount of ram.
This phone comes with a 2100mAh hour battery from the company BAK Battery (2300mAh according to doogee, which is false) and that combined with the MTK CPU provides decent battery life. With 50% of brightness, it lasts about a day or two with a simcard in the phone and about 2-3 days with no simcard. However, if you increase the brightness to 100% you’re likely to see big battery drops and therefore I recommend keeping it around 50-60% at most – the lower the better.
The phone isn’t free from drawbacks and the one that’s most noticeable is the camera, which is not very decent and provides kind of mediocre results. The videos and pictures taken with it looks all grainy and noisy and therefore this isn’t a phone for the camera enthusiast to say the least, but it’s okay for simple Facebook pictures and what not. Another drawback is the internal speaker which is loud but have a tinny sound, but at this price point this is very common.
So overall, I’ve had this phone for a few weeks now and I’ve had no major complaints, and with this sort of value for 60 USD I can’t do anything than to recommend this phone. It’s one of the better budget phones I’ve tried and its worth having a look at it if you’re on the lookout for good budget phone!

I got Doogee this weekend and I found it a great deal for its price.
So far I've had a huge problem with it; After 5 mins it loses its data connection and mobile connection. I have tried configuring APN, and many other configurations and I haven't been lucky at all. The phone should work with my carrier cause it runs a 850/1900 mhz band. Any hint about it?
Hello thought I would share some pics and my build specs....

Let me know what you think
Jesus thats one big monitor.
Tv monitor xd.
That gaming setup. In my opinion, is a very very very very expensive, rgbed and overpowered setup.
All you have left is an RTX or smth.
So... you just sit in front of that massive screen? Can you even see the whole thing at once?

Haha, yes. Both monitors are on full articulation mounts (up/down, left/right, back and forward, tilt). They can stick out 2.5 feet or sit flush to the wall so I can move them around. I usually have the monitor further back than in the pic but I wanted to get as close a grouping as possible when I took the picture.
If the 43" is as close as it is in the picture then that is too big but when I put it back about 9 inches its perfect for me. My eyes are not that good so if I dont have my glasses with me I can still see

Nah, I dont really game. I play Forza from time to time. I just like the LED's and how they look. Lots of options with the Corsair lighting.
Hmm then it would be good for coding i guess.
Wow, love the screens and the overall theme of your setup. I've gradually warmed up to the use of so many LEDs in PC setups.
Looks neat, cable management is well done.
Now I do not like so much RGB, I would prefer to see what theme is your personal preference, but well that is a matter of personal taste.
The monitors are too big at for this sitting distance, I think you would have a nicer experience with 3 smaller monitors (not small just smaller), or doing a setup in which your monitor is set farther away, maybe with a couch in from of it, but still visible from your working desk, this would require a whole setup modification and changing the placement of your desk tho (I have seen this kind of setups).
All in all, neat as I said before, but think about the 3 monitor smaller monitors setup, I think that setup would make your work or gaming more pleasant.

Wow! This looks great.
love it, congratulations
how much do you spend on this PC?
I've enjoyed building my own PCs since the 1990s. I also use a lot of local storage and often use a half dozen virtual PCs (usually in Hyper-V) in Windows (10 right now). I've previously used Microsoft's Storage Spaces with dual parity and to great effect until suddenly I lost nearly everything after about 8 years' use when it declared my 64 TB ReFS partition as "raw".
I built my previous PC in 2016 - an Intel 6-core with 32 GB of RAM.
As a PC builder, I really appreciate having as much room inside a case as I can get, and I knew I wanted to stick 18+ internal hard drives in while being able to easily replace most or all of them without opening the case.
I don't give a hoot about looks or color at all - it's all about performance for me. I'm not much of a gamer. The prime of my gaming was probably 25-30 years ago, although I do like X-Com and Civilization. I don't care about included fans. I'd rather use ones I supply myself, but I generally make 100% usage of what fans do come with a case, as I could spend hundreds of dollars more to replace them with my preference and it probably wouldn't make much difference.
I believe in positive air pressure, I really prefer not to have any holes in a case that aren't covered by a fan, so I seal them up with gorilla tape. I also prefer the largest and as many fans as I can fit in a case with the highest CFM per $ ratio.
After much research, I bought the following:
Anidees AI Crystal XL PRO RGB computer case. Official website here, lengthy review with tons of pictures here, NewEgg here, and Amazon here.

My favorite aspects of this case besides the general enormity are:
Every large front, side, top, and bottom opening has built-in easily removable and cleanable filters.
It has four USB-A 3.x ports on the top. I actually don't usually prefer all my "front" ports and switches on the top of a case, but this case is an exception in this area. It would've been nice if it had a USB-C port or two on top, but I'm adding my own to the front bottom of the case - or I plan to if my laziness ever allows me. Meanwhile, I just have them available but lose at the bottom.
I can fit 6x StarTech.com 3-Bay Hot Swap Backplane for 3.5in SAS II/SATA III - 6 Gbps HDD - Aluminum Trayless Mobile Rack Backplane (HSB3SATSASBA) in the front (pictured below), adding up to 18 total spots available for internal 3.5" and 2.5" hard drives. I have them connected to one of two Microsemi Adaptec ASR-78165 SAS RAID cards in JBOD mode via expensive cables and adapters to make up for how cheaply I bought the SAS cards.
MSI TRX40 Creator AMD sTRX4 eATX Motherboard (MS-7C59)
I have 3x Samsung 980 Pro 1TB nVME SSDs installed in the motherboard. I am not currently using the 4x nVME PCIe adapter card that came with the motherboard, as I'd have difficulty using it with the two SAS controller cards installed.
AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3960X (24-core, 48-thread)
Noctua NH-U14S TR4-SP3, Premium-grade CPU Cooler for AMD sTRX4/TR4/SP3 (140mm, Brown)
Noctua NF-A15 PWM, Premium Quiet Fan, 4-Pin (140mm, Brown) for the exhaust side of the above CPU cooler.
G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 256GB (8 x 32GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Intel XMP 2.0 Desktop Memory Model F4-3200C14Q2-256GVK
I only bought an Asus TUF Gaming TUF-GTX1650-O4GD6 Overclocked Edition. As I said, I don't game much, I do have a 4K TV and occasionally do some video editing for myself.
I also bought some extra Noctua NF-A14 iPPC-3000 PWM, Heavy Duty Cooling Fan, 4-Pin, 3000 RPM (140mm, Black) along with Noctua NA-SAV4, Silicone Anti-Vibration Fan Mount Set (16-Pack, Brown), and replaced the glass side with 0.125 THICK CLEAR CAST ACRYLIC PAPER-MASKED SHEET, Size: 14.36" X 18.985" @ +/- 0.015. I installed two of those extra fans to blow air in through this new cast acrylic side.
I also contacted Anidees (the case manufacturer) and got them to send me two extra of the top filter pieces so that I can eventually install them on the side. I got two because I actually got two of these cases, to put my old PC guts into one of these new cases to become my wife's new computer, and I'll do the same for the side of her computer.
I could spend some money on a bunch of thin Noctua 140mm fans and be able to fit 4 on each side of the case behind the built-in filters, and replace included fans with them on the top and bottom of the PC, but that would be a ton of money and I think I spent enough.
I used the fan remote control that comes with the case, and software made for my motherboard to turn all built-in LEDs in the fans and the motherboard off. Personally, I think they're stupid. No offense to those who like extra lighting.

Take my advice and don't waste your money on Khadas
they will leave you in the middle of the road as soon they releases new model .
bad customer care and no respect for customer
most often you will fall in mixed corporate writes
between open and closed resources for the same device
man some time they don't provide gpio info.
chinese companies are even better than this bhai
go for orange pi or FriendlyElec they are much betters
i lost more than 600$ on that *^*
vim2 pro & vim3 pro fully loaded
if you don't believe me just have a look at their support
forums
Respectfully, I have had a great experience with my Edge2 Pro. cost me $400 including taxes and shipping. Android and Linux both working well and compatibility for apps and plugins has been good. Any new SBC is having issues with dev support, but the forums have been good to me and actively providing patches and drivers as needed. Documentation and schematics is all available for every device on their site. You just need to poke around a bit more.... my 5 cents. I am more than happy with mine...
