Hi people I have opportunity to introduce to you high quality media player from company Zidoo.
In this review I will present to you their newest model called X6 Pro. Okay about packaging,
you will get next items: remote control, power adapter, device, HDMI cable and of course short user manual.
Design and build
For someone who is going to buy a new media player, I think that design is not most important feature.
But anyway from what I can see it has very similar design comparing with other players. It is small and very thin,
so you can place it anywhere in the room. Talking about the build quality according to the company the case is
made from combination of aluminum and plastic. Overall I am very satisfied with design and build quality.
Performance and benchmark testing
For me Zidoo X6 Pro is beast because it has really strong hardware like 64 bit Octa Core CPU Rockchip RK3368
and 2 GB of RAM. For storage they have prepared 16 GB memory but you can upgrade if this is not enough for
you using the microSD card up to 32 GB.
Also the GPU is SGX6110 which supports H.265 and H.264 at 2K or 4K. Except strong hardware it is very important
also to have good optimized operating system. On this point I am very satisfied because Zidoo company
offers great after sale support. They often offer new updates to get more stable OS. So I was not disappointed
because everything was working perfect from every day use, KODI, playing games to watching movies.
Also I have tested the device with several benchmark test apps and below you can see test results.
subtitles works just fine :good:
Darling, I'm not gonna hurt you. I'm just gonna bash your brains in. :laugh:
Conclusion
Overall I am very satisfied with the Zidoo X6 Pro, because it offers high quality, superb after sale support,
strong hardware and affordable price which is around $100 and you can if you want buy it at Amazon.

If you go back and scan the threads of the last few weeks or month, there is a lot of good info about this topic.
I just installed the Eonon with 5.1 Android OS in my 2002 3 series BMW. I do not have experience with these devices, so I can only comment on this one.
I really like the fit. The speed- even with a quad core 1.6Ghz CPU is not as quick as we'd like. Think Android phones from 3-4 yrs ago. Not bad, but not as speedy as a Google Pixel for example. The big change I could see is if the screen were bright enough to outshine the glare from the sun. I have ordered ant glare screen protectors. We'll see how that works out.
I have a Henharo 4.2.2 based unit. A7 processor. I have to say that unit is terrible. The screen is not bright enough, the sound quality is bad. The well known hissing noise is really annoying. GPS dies sometimes, Also there is no support from the vendor. I'm looking for a replacement. I'm not an audiophile but I like good sound. Ownice C500 looks promising, however I'm not sure about the sound chip with comes with the unit. That's TB2929. The only thing I know is that the chip is made by Toshiba
I have a MTCD made by KGL, all I can say: keep away! MTCD seems like a terrible platform, the quality by KGL is just terrible and their service non-existent.
Have to agree C500 looks very promising. Especially now that people have succeeded in rooting the device, this hopefully provides room for user mods to polish out some of the flaws.
Anyone knows how good Ownice support is.?
I just don't want to ended up with another unit without the vendor support...
You might want to look at the Joying 2GB / Sofia based units. I have had one about 2 months and real happy with it. It seems well made, fairly fast, relatively bug free. Support seems pretty good with frequent software updates, and to reply to emails.
What about the sound quality and that famous hissing sound?
There is one interesting unit I have found on their website: JY-UL135N2
. Newest RAM 2GB Android 5.1.1 Lollipop Auto Radio for Universal Vehicles
. 7-Inch Double 2 Din Digital Capacitive Touchscreen
. CPU: Intel SoFIA 3GR , 4 Cores
. RAM: DDR3 2GB, Flash: EMMC 32GB
. Resolution: 1024x600 display, support 1080P videos
. With the new developed android 5.1 system
. Support PIP, DVR, OBD2, DAB+, NFC, Bluetooth 4.0, RDS, etc.
Just the thing which bothers me is the sound quality. The unit I bought has way worse sound than the stock radio.
That Joying unit's sound processor is TDA7388 - is it any good?

It sounds good to me, much better than the stock unit that was replaced. No noticeable hissing or any issues. Only downside is no controls for the sub on the equalizer.
oh that's a problem for me. I have an infinity sound system in my car. That Android unit I got installed was just terrible. I pulled it out yesterday and sent back to the seller. I'm kinda picky in terms of the sound quality. (not an audiophile though)
Are there any mosfet based units available?
and also any word on Newsmy NR3001 unit?
@slav.z What did you end up getting?
JY-UL135N2. All works . I didn't update to 6.1 though. Not a fan of untested firmware.
Your Joying JY-UL135N2, will it support third party usb camera, and can you use third party usb camera apps with it like Carr O.
I will NEVER buy another as the SH*TS crippled Android to only work with their usb camera, and locked out other apps from using their camera.
Can you confirm open usb camera?
Hi, there, you must visit this link the site suggest 10 of the best android auto head unit, just read the full article and you will find what are you looking for
I had ok luck with Joying, sound was better than my stock unit, my only real complaint is slow boot and app launch time. 2-3 mins from power on til Spotify plays, or GMaps track my location.
UP
s190 are great imo
Startup is 25 seconds, or it can be put into Auto Sleep with instant On which says only uses 9mA
Software installation
Hi,
How to install Chinese car stereo software
I'm waiting for an Audiophile grade unit. Is there a unit out that has the following:
Hi-Res DAC (Hopefully at least 32-bit/192kHz)
Optical out
Volume Knob (not a deal breaker)
3gb of ram or more
speedy processor
Nice screen size at least 7"
Nice 31 band EQ or 15 bands for left and right
And if these are not available, are any of the manufacturers on this board that can push for this type of product? I truly believe if there was such a unit, that they would kill the market in one year.

First, there are no such units available.
Second, I think you overestimate the market for something like that. The "audiophile" is a very VERY fringe market.
What is needed, is generally better quality hardware. Something with mainstream parts, like a high end qualcomm SoC, and supported by some outfit that is actually *COMPETENT*.
The better overall quality hardware would naturally have better quality audio come along for the ride, and this would definitely be enough.

What would be the 'best' constructed head unit right now?
I was looking for an Android head unit, and my car dealer wanted to sell me a Parrot Asteroid Smart (with an amazing Android 2.3 and 512MB memory...).
I did multiple searches and got to no conclusion. Probably the best quality 'chinese' head units right now are joying and Xtrons, but even they are not specially good at audio quality.
I read there was a posibility to 'hardware-hack' some PX3 units (but I wanted PX5...)
Any recommendations?
I have recently just removed my android head unit from my car and reinstalled the standard head unit.
The audio out of the android unit is horiffic to say the least. The standard headunit knocks the socks off of the
android unit plus they have the cheek to advertize it as HIFI quality sound.

Dynavin units are the closest from what I've heard with Burr-Brown DACs. But the actual Android side of things is a bit dated

The hardware hack on the PX3's you are referring to... is that the one where they disconnect the BD37xxx from the MCU and connect it to the SoC? If so, point your sights at an INTEL JOYING, because the BD37033 *IS* connected to the SoC, and is directly controllable.
I bought one of these a few years ago and its barely getting by at the moment now that I've put a few apps on it like Spotify etc. Does anyone know if there is a better Android distribution that I can run on it than the stock version?
Android 5.1, CPU:Rockchip PX3 Cortex A9 Quad Core 1.6GHz, RAMDR3 1GB, Nand Memory:16GB, faster with 8 inch HD digital screen 1080P HD video and play 3D game smoothly, Specially Designed AV Output can play video from USB/SD card or online youtube video
Which of the current 7" double din PX6 hexacore headunits offers the best sound quality? I love the convenience of the other apps but at the end of the day music is what I play most. Built in 3G or 4G modem would be a plus. My current Joying has one and it works great. No need for wifi or dongle.
