The SK2 doesn’t have the robust specs of the SK1 and only 32gbs of internal storage. Anytime I hear anyone complain about the lack of support for premium hd streaming services on stock android, I would remind them you can always load these hd streaming apps directly onto your smart tv.
Exactly what I was thinking as well. Seems to me this is a repeat of the Onn 4K Pro but with 1GB more RAM. When I first saw this I was thinking, “NVIDIA SHIELD replacement” but these specs don’t get me too excited.
Looks like they might be trying to compete with other fully certified boxes but the price point needs to be a little lower to go up against the Onn 4k box. imho
I guess they need a box for people who subscribe to all of the official streaming services but I’m disappointed that they just basically cloned the Rocktec GX1 and put it in an SK1 looking case.
Since they are a smaller company, they won’t have the scale to compete on price and should try to differentiate themselves like they did with their AOSP boxes, but I guess they have to fall in line to get the certifications they need.
This should have been called something else. When I got the email I thought it was a new high powered SK1 line device. GK1 maybe?!
As much as I am a big aficionado of Ugoos, the SK2 misses the mark. The Onn 4K Pro is a much better value.
Anth posted a link to a Reddit user in the Ugoos Telegram that mentioned the Ugoos sk2 has the same adaptive colour policy issues as the GK1.
You do get audio pass through on Kodi though.
