[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Such_A_Victor:
Not long ago I've got in my hands Device on RK3188: UGOOS UT2.

After half a year of using Ugoos UT3s on RK3288

It seems to me a good idea to compare two rockchip processors different generation.

The first thing I felt during the first boot is a noticeable difference of booting time.

Device come to me with older firmware version 1.1.1 dated on 06/05/2015.

Before first start I reflashed it with up-to-date 1.1.3 android 4.4 dated on 17/08/2015.

It takes UT2 double time to reboot unlike my UT3s (~46 sec and 21 sec accordingly),

but after loading I started use almost same device with satisfactory respond speed.

Latest Ugoos firmware clean up all common lags and now it feels like new device.

Knowledge of the fact that Ugoos still support their past year products makes me comfortable.

Now my UT3s has the same kitkat 4.4 and official UGOOS Download center offers me 5.1 beta (stable version is in process).

So I am sure that they continue supporting my UT3s at least a couple years or even more.

Difference between two processors is rather perceptible.

Rockchip did a great work. And, ofcourse, GPU Mali 400, 500Mhz feels like a younger brother of

Mali-T764,* 600Mhz that is faster, has more muscles, no pimples and can do more different job.

All tests you can find on youtube, it is just IMHO.

There is one thing in UT2 that I like more than in my UT3s: a metal material of the box unlike UT3s's plastic.

If suddenly thief pervade my apartments, I should choose UT2 and throw it in his head.

If I heat the target, it probably disable my enemy, and after cops get this criminal element out of house,

I can continue watching youtube on UT2, because nothing has happened with the device.

Unlike UT3s UT2 has no 4k resolution, but it is not so awful because I place UT2 with my old 30 inch TV in the kitchen.

Remote controllers are totally different:

UT2 controller has num keyboard and some more additional rows of buttons unless UT3s controller.

Looks like I am holding a spaceship controller instead of TV box after using UT3's rc.

UT3s controller has just power, settings, navigation, volume, return, apps and home buttons.

Maybe I just need used to, but still.

Number of connectors are almost the same. So UT2 has OTG micro usb form factor, and UT3s has Host usb type A.

Both of them have AV out and I can use my own audio system or earphones if somebody is sleeping.

I find sd card port on the left side of UT2, and on my UT3s there is a micro sd card port. More suitable for me: now I can look pictures from my old Canon camera on UT2 without any other connectors and wires.

Here is the list of main hardware for UT2 and other RK3188 UGOOS family: UT1 and UM2:

GPU Mali 400 up to 500Mhz;

RAM DDR3 2GB;

NAND 8/16GB Nand Flash (optional);

LAN 10/100M (except UM2);

WIFI 5.0 (onlyUT2) /2.4GHZ WiFi 802.11 b/g/n;

OS Android 4.4 kitkat.

UM2 has a smaller form factor then other family products on RK3188.

New UT2 firmware now allows me to build a samba server on it. It’s very suitable because now I can download media content straight to UT2 usb external HDD using any device in my apartment.

Have no any troubles with shared content on others devices at home.

Sometimes I use UT2 to talk to Skype, when my main TV is busy.

So when you have more such devices, it more easier to cooperate with your family and amount of conflicts reduce,

because right now it's not enough to own their own tablet and phone.

Until this moment I used UT2 for 2 weeks. It seems to me that I won’t give It back and just buy one more UT2 device for my friend who gave it to me.

In common, when I got UT2 I felt like a young brother of my UT3s came from countryside.

Not so for fast, not so brilliant, but still a brother.
