New Gad In Town: MiniX Neo X7 / G4 Android for your TV

Here's what I am looking for quite a long time now - Android for TV. Hey don't tell me it has been already sold in the market I beg to disagree with my needs and expectation. Let me discuss... Shall we?

The MiniX Neo X7 is to say the Android TV Box that will cater to your needs (my needs). It houses strong powerful innards with a Quad Core Processor and Mali GPU accompanied by 2GB of RAM and 16GB of Internal Storage. Still not impress huh... Take a gander at its arsenal of connectivity Dual-Band Wireless Fidelity (WiFi), RJ-45 Ethernet Jack, Bluetooth and IR Receiver... not yet best part it support Miracast and AirPin for wireless display connectivity and streaming content over the air between devices. How cool is that! Those two functions are quite unique and have yet to wander Philippine Market until now. Just plug it to your TV via HDMI and let the Magic starts. The Best part is that it is just being sold for 5,988.00 Pesos. Really worth it.

Then again some of you might think you wont need those extra features but you just need Android. Well the MiniX Neo G4 is for you then. It is to say a plug-it Android. Just a tad bit downgrade but it will deliver your android goodness with Dual Core, Mali GPU and 1GB RAM under the hood. Connectivity only via WiFi but you could do well connect other devices with OTG.

So there seems that will cover it. But if your interested these babies are available at Villman.
