TV-BOX Beelink GT-King 2020 (with Wi-Fi 6)

The leader in the production of high-quality TV-Boxes, Beelink, has made a restyling of the Beelink GT-King set-top box. Which looks rather strange, because the previous model was quite suitable for multimedia and games. True, on third-party firmware, but it worked great. New - TV-BOX Beelink GT-King 2020 has received several changes. It is on them that the manufacturer bets. Since the price ($ 120-130) is very difficult to explain.

 

TV-BOX Beelink GT-King 2020: add-ons

 

The technical characteristics of the console can be found in full review Beelink GT-King models. The difference lies in only three innovations:

 

 

• The Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) module is installed. It's great, but not everyone has routers available for connecting according to this standard. And yet, to get the effect of this Wi-Fi 6, you need to have high-speed Internet (over 600 Mb / s). Otherwise, the point of using 802.11ax is lost.
• The limitation on the processor frequency has been removed. The Beelink GT-King operates at 1.9 GHz, although the chip can operate at 2.2 GHz. This limitation has been removed. Efficiency is noticeable only in productive toys.
• New firmware. It can be seen that the manufacturer has worked on its mistakes and made a normal - workable firmware. Only it is not clear why it should be poured onto the usual Beelink GT-King. Is it really necessary to release a new console for this.

 

Impressions on TV-BOX Beelink GT-King 2020

 

The increase in the frequency of the processors from 1.9 to 2.2 GHz raised concerns that the console will throttle. But that did not happen. Videos, torrents, YouTube, games - it is impossible to raise the temperature of the chip above 70 degrees Celsius. And this is in a plastic case, devoid of ventilation grilles. Obviously, this is due to the work of the new firmware, which effectively controls the chip. TV-BOX Beelink GT-King 2020 is a technologically advanced gadget (at the end of 2020). It will appeal to all buyers - the price would only suit.

 

 

If there is any Beelink 2019 or 2020 set-top box available, it makes no sense to buy the new TV-BOX Beelink GT-King 2020. For the sake Wi-Fi 6 - do not. Better to wait for winter and get something completely new and more interesting.
