Device

The device itself is very much the same as my Tronfi MXiv apart from the Tronfi having the bigger storage space of 16GB but for anyone not needing the bigger space the MXiii G should be worth conciddering as the S812 device's really do do every task at a great speed.

It comes with two launchers installed, The launcher3 (standered android launcher) & the media

box launcher.

Bluetooth 4.0

Kodi.

The MXiii G comes with Kodi 14.1 preinstalled with some addons too but if your buying this item for a child there are some adult addons which will need to be removed.The speed of kodi is outstanding 3 seconds to load from the app screen,Iv been streaming 1080 from the web with no video stuttering whats so ever.

Games

Iv tested beach buggy blitz with graphics set to high it played perfect as expected

I was using my ps3 controller with the sixaxis app (Need to be v8.0 or above)to avoid segmentation fault.

Also the tronsmart Mars G01 Game pad works well

Misc

Logitech c270 camera works fine

External powered 1T HD works fine

Tronsmart Mars G01 game pad works

The MXiii G gets warm but not hot so i dont think modding the box is required as you can see from the photos there is lots of venterlation holes on the bottom to help draw in the cooler air & some side vent slots for the hot air to escape.

Protective circuit design

Another cool feature is the the device comes with is (Protective circuit design) it will save the device if you use the wrong power adapter.(lets hope no one will ever need to see if it works)
