It's also rumoured to be the first phone designed entirely in Japan (other phones have all been designed at least in part by Sony Mobile in Sweden).
I'm fairly curious as to how thick the phone will be, given that the Snapdragon 800 will probably pump out more heat than the S600 or APQ8064.

it's main features are Core M Cpu, wich is more powerfull and less power Hungry, but way more expensive than Baytrail Cpus ! 100 to 200 Usd more expensive to be honest, is 50% more power worth it? what do you think?
it also features a better Gbu and 4Gb of Ram !
To guarantee the tablet’s expansibility, the PIPO K2 offers a slew of ports and slots (a micro USB3.0 port, a micro HDMI port, a micro SD card slot and a 3.5mm audio jack).
pipo K2 comes with quite a heavy but complete Keyboard
When attached Pipo K2 looks like a Real Laptop
Although the screen resolution is only 1,366 × 768 the contrast and color controls are very good, this may have a good impact on the price and Battery life too
The Price will be of 400 USD in China and so 450 up to 500 USD for Overseas Countries is to be expected
which is still quite expensive comparing to The previous windows Generation,
The Main reason is that windows stopped subsidizing it's Cpus the same way it did last year ! meaning that the new Generation Cpus are 200$ more expensive for everyone.
What do you think ?
Will chinease Core M tablets make it ?
For me Pipo K2 seems to be an ACER Aspire Switch 11 Clone with way better Functionality and characteristics For Almost the same place,
Will these be enough to convince customers to pay that much for a Chinese Brand? Only time can tell .

The battery is kind of a deal breaker to me, even a 10.1 tablet can have 7000mAH
WTF Samsung
lol that is bad
I sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo am not going to buy this... Tab S / S2 have better specs!?!?
Never mind that screen...
RAM spec is waay to low. Battery capacity is bad. And sceeen should be tab s quality
What are you guys comparing it to? As a tablet it's a fail. But that's not how it's being marketed. As a movable TV and entertainment device its specs are fine. The display at 127 PPI makes it painful for close-in reading but 1080P at a distance looks great. Eight hours of battery life is also decent considering no one is going to be using a GV as their primary consumption device due to its complete lack of portability.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T677A using Tapatalk
I didn't let specs get to me for me to decide if I was going to get this tablet. I use it to stream YouTube, Netflix etc etc. Works very well for that.
The battery works fine for me.

Zidoo X6 PRO TV Box Review

Zidoo X6 PRO TV Box Review
​
X6 is certainly a very powerful tool for your TV/monitor. But is it powerful enough?
Don't rush it! Let's inspect it the right way. The package that we received is very elegant and it gives you a premium feeling. It's minimal design in combination with it's durability makes it the perfect packaging for any product.

As we walk our way inner we find the device itself, sitting in it's own carton box and further at the bottom we find the accesories box. There's the remote, the power adapter, the HDMI and all the paperwork. Again premium packaging.
Accessories
The remote control, has a great size and design. It's quality is far better than the majority I used. There's an issue for me on it though: As a PC user I'm used to a specific numpad, and that remote has a completely different numpad layout. It's frustrating. And another thing was bizzare, too: It didn't include 2xAAA bateries. I know, minor details, but they do make the difference. Also another thing is that you will find it difficult to actually write something. The best thing you could do, is to buy a cordless keyboard with bluetooth or WiFi.
Design
The X6 is made of aluminium alloy and plastic. It's design is just perfect: little, elegant, gorgeous. At the front there's the IR receiver for the remote's signal. At the left-side it has 2xUSB 2.0 ports and a Micro SD slot (it supports up to 32GBs). You can use one of the USB's as an OTG port. That transaltes to "you can power an external device from that" (such as a hard drive). At the rear side you can find: The Power adapter DC/5V, a CVBS port, an Ethernet, a HDMI 2.0 ( provides up to 4K resolution at 60fps) and an Optical connector.
Benchmarks and specs
It's packing an Octacore Rockchip RK3368 64bit clocked at 1.5GHz, 2GBs or RAM, 16GBs of internal storage, GPU SGX6110, built-in WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0, Ethernet and Android 5.1 Lollipop.
The RAM and the internal storage are more than enough for everyday use. Also the GPU performs real good for video streaming (up to 4K).
See the video for Zidoo X6 PRO's capabilities on video streaming, gaming experience and more.
The Rockchip RK3368 is a 64bit, Octacore chip and it's clock speed can reach the 1.5GHz per core (so Zidoo says so). I ran a few benchmarks with GeekBench and as it turned out it's clock speed were 1.2GHz instead of 1.5GHz. At average it scored 2,394 and 641 single core. It's a pretty decent score for a CPU clocked at 1.2GHz. Actually it scored better than the Snapdragon 615 @1.5MHz (2,371 overal & 638 single core).
During the benchmarks I figured out that when I had mouse & keyboard connected the performance got worse.
Conclusion
The Zidoo X6 PRO has surprised me very positively. It's performance in addition with the Android Lollipop and it's design makes it one of the top TV boxes out there. If you are looking for a powerful little machine with wonderful skills of camouflaging in your living room then the Zidoo X6 PRO is the way to go.
It's retail price on geekbuying.com is 88.45€ (or 99$). Buy it now here with free shipping.
Positives
+ Design
+ CPU
+ Android 5.1
+ Built in Google Play
+ Pre-installed Kodi Isengard
+ Better than cheap Smart TV
+ Value for money
Negatives
- 1.2GHz instead of 1.5GHz
- Remote control's numpad
- Doesn't include 2xAAA batteries
- 3rd party Youtube app

Does zidoo X6 support passthrough on kodi?

Curious, why did you go with a dedicated sound card and not just use what's on your mobo? I used to always use Sound Blaster cards in my rigs but lately have stuck with mobo audio.

Never liked onboard audio and even these days its still not comparable to a dedicated sound card.
