China’s Rikomagic announced it’s MK902 II TV box some time back, but it’s yet to see light of day with expectant buyers queuing up. However, from what we’re hearing, this is all set to change.
The MK902 II is pegged to start shipping later this month. The device is a TV box that runs on the open source Android OS, powered by the powerful Rockchip RK3288 chipset. The chipset houses a quad-core 1.8GHz CPU along with the Mali T-764 GPU, making for a formidable setup regardless of its form.
Along with the powerful CPU/GPU combo will be 2GB of RAM, 8GB/16GB of storage (expandable via microSD) and an interesting inclusion in a 5 mega-pixel camera.
Pricing for the MK902 II will hover around the $100 mark for wholesale buyers. On the other hand, one-off purchasers will might have to pay up to $130 apiece plus shipping, when buying from re-sellers.
