Rikomagic MK06 Technical Specifications<\/h2>\n
[aps_product_specs id=”5293″]<\/p>\n
What’s In The Box?<\/h2>\n
Rikomagic have provided a fairly comprehensive set of inclusions in the box:<\/p>\n Rikomagic have played it safe with the design of their latest Android TV box. Reusing the case from the MK12 and MK68, the Rikomagic MK06 is a black square with a single rounded corner.<\/p>\n The top plate features a subtle geometric pattern and the whole unit is made of glossy plastic. Unfortunately, this means its probe to fingerprints so you’ll need to to keep it clean.<\/p>\n The design itself is unobtrusive however and fairly practical, with ample room to plug in cables and USB devices that you need to.<\/p>\n Ports are located on the left and rear of the unit. The left side houses two fullsize USB 2.0 ports and a micro SD card slot.<\/p>\n Jumping over to the rear of MK06, there’s DC In, optical audio, Ethernet, HDMI out and another fullsize USB 2.0 port.<\/p>\n Rikomagic have continued their “reuse” approach, packing in the same IR remote we’ve seen with their other Android boxes. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, as I’ve always found Rikomagic’s remotes pretty decent.<\/p>\n All the key functionality is here, with Android commands, directional buttons and volume controls. There’s even a mouse mode if you need it, though is suggest forking out for an Airmouse such as the Rikomagic MK705<\/a> for a much better experience.<\/p>\n Thankfully, the buttons are pretty quiet, unlike some of the cheap included remotes I’ve seen to date so they’re not distracting when used. Range was fine, able to reach across my lounge room with ease.<\/p>\n The Rikomagic MK06 boots automatically when plugged in. A cold boot takes around 59 seconds With a wireless keyboard and mouse plugged in. Resuming from standby is instant.<\/p>\n The Rikomagic MK06’s UI is the same as we’ve seen on previous models, with various tiles for key apps, themed collections of apps (such as games) and the app drawer.<\/p>\n The launcher is definitely TV friendly, though animations aren’t smooth enough, making it feel less polished compared to other launchers I’ve seen shipped with TV boxes.<\/p>\n There’s a few preinstalled apps, with Kodi 15.2, Media Center, Miracast, Skype and, interestingly, iPerf all making an appearance. Kodi 15.2 came with a whole bunch of add-ons preinstalled so I simply uninstalled it and installed a stock version of Kodi 16.0 from the Google Play store.<\/p>\n Speaking of the Google Play Store, it works and the device is rooted out of the box for those that need it.<\/p>\n HDMI CEC is supported and worked well with my Samsung TV, allowing me to use the TV’s remote to control the Android box.<\/p>\n The MK06 also features a single 4.08GB partition with 3.5GB free out of the box, making it much easier for users to use all of the included storage how they want. 3.5GB isn’t a lot though so you’ll need to be mindful of how many apps you need to install.<\/p>\n The Rikomagic MK06 is also the first Rikomagic box to come with OTA update support. Unfortunately, I didn’t have a chance to actually test it as my box was already pre-installed with the latest firmware.<\/p>\n The firmware feels pretty stable. However, I did occasionally experience a several-second pause when exiting apps sometimes. I also had issues with luckluster 3D performance and benchmarks failing (more on that below).<\/p>\n The Rikomagic MK06 came preinstalled with Kodi 15.2. However, I had issues with video only rendering in the top left of the screen. Updating to Kodi 16.0 via the Google Play Store seemed to fix the issue so I’ve used that version for my testing.<\/p>\n![\"Rikomagic-MK06-Review-Inside-The-Box\"](\"https:\/\/hometheatrelife.com\/wp-content\/webp-express\/webp-images\/doc-root\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Rikomagic-MK06-Review-Inside-The-Box-1024x682.jpg.webp)
