RK3288 box Beelink R89 comprehensive evaluation

At present, the author knows that the use of RK3288 chip box is only two or three, including the Mortimer D8 + count one, well-known needless to say, but another set-top box using RK3288 chip we all know? It is Beelink R89, a TV box that is active in foreign markets. Why do we talk about it today? Because the product is planning to enter the domestic market. OK, now let's take a closer look at the outstanding performance of this RK3288 box.


1, out of the box evaluation



The Chinese red box indicates the configuration of the box on the front, because beelink mainly does foreign markets, so no Chinese characters are normal.



Can see the memory 2G, ROM 16G, I like this kind of storage, because there is no need to worry about the data is not stored, than those 4G 8G storage is much stronger, my phone and tablet are 16G storage, at least did not feel the situation , This configuration of the box is definitely not a problem.


Inside the box, the left and right parts, the box on the left, and the accessories on the right, because it is a tester, so only the main parts are given, like the OTG line instructions, these do not have to be.



2, appearance evaluation


Look at the appearance of the box. The front is an oblique piano lacquer panel, but the panel is too scratchy. When I got it, it was like this (being the manufacturer left the rest). In the middle was a switch. There was a hole on the left side of the switch. , That is the built-in microphone, rarely see it.



Side with two USB 2.0 interface and TF card slot, does not support USB3.0 interface, a bit sorry, so high in order to not be able to decode high-stream 4K video, really a pity.


The back is the power supply, AV (reset button in the hole), HDMI interface, there is another USB interface and MicroUSB (used to brush), why is there an area so empty, and the distance between the network interface and the AV interface is so near.




There are many heat dissipation holes, and heat dissipation should be no problem. The enhancement of computing power means an increase in heat generation. This is an inevitable result.


The surface of the box uses a metal scrubbing process that looks very atmospheric and stylish.


3, hardware dismantling


After reading outside, it is easy to disassemble the two screws and the top cover can be picked up, but it is not separated because of the antenna and the microphone.



To see the microphone, there is a power button board, WIFi antenna placed on the top of the shell, but the welding level is generally similar to my level.


4, hardware evaluation

(An Tutu Run Points)

An Ann Bunny ran close to 45,000 points. In terms of running points, it can now despise all the boxes in the market, more than double the running score of the enhanced version of the box.


The latest version of CPU-Z does not fully recognize the RK3288 and the RK3066 is displayed.


It seems that Mali-IT64 GPU's image acceleration capability is not very good, or that this RK3288 box Beelink R89 insults this performance, and its score is exactly the same as the enhanced version of the millet box. (For details, please refer to: Performance Enhancement Triple Millet Box Enhanced Edition Comparison and Evaluation)


5, system interface evaluation

Interface 1

Boot interface, there are two interface options.

Interface 2






Program list


6, video evaluation For the playback of video, I think a lot of playback format is no need to test, after all, many formats are bound to support, we only focus on the current concentration of video files may be tested, the player is only built-in, Mainly to test internal hard solutions, if the system itself does not support AC3 and DTS, there is no sound when playing with the built-in player

First of all, of course, H.265 hard solution, RK3288 is to support HEVC hard solution, so on the duck, on the beautiful woman.



Followed by a 4K video playback test, related to the flowers, the interface is very familiar with it









Video "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" with DTS Tracks


Dolby AC3 support and DTS support.

Comments: Through a series of evaluations, we have a preliminary understanding of the RK3288 box Beelink R89, it is a high-performance Internet TV box, but for the current domestic users do not seem particularly attractive, if you want In order to enter the domestic market, localization needs to be optimized, especially the layout of content resources. A box with no content is difficult to have a market now.
