KDLINKS A200 Android HD Media Player Review

Introducing the KDLinks A200

This box oozes quality, it has to be one of the best looking boxes l have seen. 
The abilty to fit an internal Hard Drive is a great boon, you can stick a 3.5" HDD  upto 4TB inside the box and store and stream video to your hearts content.
It comes preloaded with the Google Play Store and also XBMC / Kodi.

Performance

The A200 uses the Dual Core Cortex A9 processor, this is more than capable of running an android box although many boxes are starting to use a Quad Core processor.

A Quad core processor will offer a slightly nippier feel when navigating or starting apps, although the A9 will still run everything smoothly.

Graphics are handled by the Mali-400MP2 GPU, again there is now an improved Mali chip (the octocore) but the 400MP2 does a fine job of running the latest games quickly and looking nice.

Where the box does excel is in its ability to play virtually any media file you can throw at it.

Interface and XBMC/Kodi

The G-Box has the standard Android 4.2.2 operating system preinstalled, the custom launcher is fairly sparse but it gets you to where you want to go quickly.

Streaming your content is handled very well by the box itself or you can use the excellent xbmc/ kodi media center software to handle streaming content.

Xbmc /Kodi is a brilliant piece of media software, you can find videos from all over the net and stream them directly, check out xbmctotalinstaller for adding apps easily.

REVIEW SUMMARY

This is an excellent box which has adequate hardware to view streaming content, play android games and use apps.  The Hard Drive internal caddy is very nice, great for using this as a storage/streaming system.

A USB 3.0 port is also a nice addition, allowing fast transfer rates between devices.

The device is shipped with a very inadequate manual, although this is somewhat remedied by a faq aspect to their website.  

For

• Internal Hard Drive Caddy
• A USB 3.0 port

Against

• Terrible Documentation
• Only Dual Core
