MK813 Quad Core Android TV Box with a 2MP Camera Sells for $47

Prices for Android TV boxes based on Rockchip RK3188 are getting ridiculously low, probably because some people are getting rid off stocks. After MK918 that sells for about $50 , MK813 is another quad core Android media player with 1 to 2 GB RAM, 8GB flash, and a 2MP camera that you can buy for $46.80 on Aliexpress (1GB RAM) from a seller with decent feedback, and that includes shipping. The 2GB RAM version sells for $51.32.

MK813 Specifications (also known as KD812):

  • SoC – Rockchip RK3188 quad Cortex-A9 CPU @ 1.6 GHz + Mali-400 MP4 GPU
  • System Memory – 1 or 2 GB DDR3 SDRAM
  • Storage – 8GB NAND Flash +  Micro SD slot (Up to 32GB)
  • Connectivity – WiFi 802.11 b/g/n with external antenna, Bluetooth 2.1
  • Video & Audio Output – HDMI + AV output jack
  • USB – 2x USB host ports + 1x micro USB OTG + 1 x micro USB for power
  • Camera – 2MP webcam
  • Misc – Power LED, reset/recovery button
  • Power – 5V/2A
  • Dimensions – 9.6 cm x 7.8 cm x 2.4 cm
  • Weight – 58 grams

The box runs Android 4.2.2, and ships with an HDMI Cable, a power adapter with a USB cable. The firmware image (November 2013) is available for download according to some Freaktab users. One important features commonly found on Android TV Boxes is lacking: Ethernet. Compared to MK918 which can be found for a few dollars more, MK813 also lacks an IR receiver, so it’s not shipped with an IR remote control, not can it support one, there’s no optical S/PDIF audio output, and Bluetooth is limited to version 2.1. However, it adds a camera and features a micro USB OTG port.

I could only find one seller on Aliexpress that provides the box for about $50, and others sell it for $60 to $80, as do DealExtreme and GeekBuying.

Thanks to Gabe!

  1. Is it still true, that to use 1080p resolution in apps and games, special 1080p ROM is needed?

    Maybe 7″ ones are getting cheap; I was hoping prices for iFive Mini 3 would drop when the 3G & RK3288 versions came out. Instead, those were more expensive! :p

    I guess for those, the SoC is a relatively small part of the BoM so they dont budge as much…
