Beelink GT1-A Media Player with Voice Control

The media player (TV BOX) is a home electronics device designed to receive files from the network and display them on the TV screen. The media player focuses on decoding video without quality loss. Additionally, TV BOXes are equipped with extra features: streaming videos from the internet, processing images and music, Android games, and a browser.

A powerful 4K media player capable of playing any video without lag, with voice control – a dream for enthusiasts of high-quality video on TV screens. Apple, Dune HD, Xiaomi, Zidoo – is it necessary to forget what a nightmare was? The Beelink GT1-A media player is a 2019 novelty that promises to satisfy the needs of all demanding buyers.

Powered by an 8-core all-purpose processor, large RAM, Android 7.1, and sought-after 21st-century features, it creates the best conditions for users. By the way, the new product is now available for sale. Although in China, in online stores, but it’s only a matter of time. In a month or two, a certified product will appear on store shelves in our country. So, testing is not far off.

Beelink GT1-A Media Player with Voice Control

The Android TV BOX is aimed at home theater owners who want to see videos in maximum quality while lying in front of a large TV screen. The Amlogic S912 processor with eight cores (Cortex-A53) is ready for 100-gigabyte files in Blu-ray format – there will never be lag. At least, that’s what the Chinese brand claims.

Many media player manufacturers promise 4K format, but with the H.265 codec, 60 frames per second, and HDR 10+ dynamic backlight, they often only produce slideshows. However, according to developers, the Beelink GT1-A media player can handle such tasks. Also, gaming enthusiasts are not forgotten. The video controller is not top-tier – Mali-T82, but with 4 shader cores, it’s quite suitable for resource-intensive games. Although, they could already win the hearts of gamers.

Voice control is not surprising, but there is no other similarly powerful device on the market. Xiaomi? The Chinese make very advanced phones, but with TV BOXes, it’s still disappointing. Xiaomi’s console lacks a gigabit port for local network connection. Give it a 70-100 gigabyte file and expect video lag.

The gigabit port for network connection guarantees bandwidth for files up to 500-600 GB (the Chinese made the Beelink GT1-A media player with future-proofing in mind). The promised Wi-Fi 2.4G+5.8G sounds vague in terms of data transfer speed – testing is necessary.

3 GB of RAM using DDR4 technology and 32 GB of flash memory will allow installing more resource-intensive applications. However, if only playing video files, Kodi software doesn’t require much.

HDMI version 2.0a, Bluetooth, USB – standard features that the Beelink GT1-A media player boasts. The device’s chip supports 3D, DLNA technology, Miracast, and has multilingual support. Only on the official website, Russian or Ukrainian languages are not listed.

Let’s hope the console lives up to its declared specifications. Manufacturers often write beautiful announcements, but in reality, users get another unfinished product. We look forward to testing and a detailed review.
