Ugoos UT4 is an actively cooled Android TV box powered by Rockchip RK3368 octa-core processor, and I did notice a better overall performance in my review compared to other RK3368 mini PCs I tested. However, I did find some issues, such as power off not working properly, a lack of DRM support, Kodi video and audio capabilities could be improved and so on. Since the review, Ugoos released two firmware updates fixing several of the issues I noticed during my testing, and the company has asked me if I could organize a giveaway for one Ugoos UT4, so here it is.
I’ve organized the giveaway a little differently, as I’ll use Rafflecopter form below with three options, each optional, but if you do all three you’ll get more chances to win. The contest will run for 4 days until February 15 10am (GMT+7), I’ll select the winner randomly rthrough RaffleCopter, and expect an answer within 24 hours or I’ll select another winner. Ugoos will them ship the device to the winner free of charge, and the contest is open worldwide.
Good luck!
Jean-Luc started CNX Software in 2010 as a part-time endeavor, before quitting his job as a software engineering manager, and starting to write daily news, and reviews full time later in 2011.
Hopefully they keep updating the box
Thanks for the opportunity!
Nice
Nice box
Why would you want the device?
as currently i dont have a good android device i am using a WD TV which sucks big time.
it asked to leave comment but i wasn’t able to do this, – the field was read-only. (That in the form, where the question “why you want this device” supposed to have been answered, was placed). so I answer here – I want to program it. Doing some low level programming. it’s for my own project but maybe it will somewhat work out and be usable by others. I am beginning with tryout on making UEFI implementation, and then if it works, my gain is creating my own OS, NT-like. So it’s crazy but inetersting. and, of course, I need… Read more »
2GB of RAM and x265 support…sign me up!
Looks like a good devise, would be happy to get it 🙂
Ugoos ftw!
Sounds great. Please pick me.
Test, and sell it 🙂
Wow, another powerful rockchip. I used previous one – rk3288 and it works great. Now I would like to try new rockchip.
Thanks for the oppurtunity
I need it because of… reasons…
In Love
Always comes in handy..winners r Grinners 🙂
Cool Site.
Would love to win… Good luck to all.
Because it’s Ugoos…
Would use it as an htpc.
Would love to see what new firmware updates UGOOS comes up with.
They always support their devices even after other manufacturers abandon similar devices very early.
Would love to win and get an X265 media player.
Nice kit. I hope someone who deserves it wins. But if you can’t find one of those I’ll take it.
Yeah 🙂 Nice device …. It would be nice to win.
I already own rk3188, and like it, but still suffer from the lack of support from other supplier. I think ugoos support is excellent.
Nice device
I am already using arm devices on the server side. May be rk chips is ready for it.
Hope :p
RK3368 great cpu
I want to use Moonlight stream!
“Ugoos”
Hope Speriamo!
I would love to try this out; not only as a media box, but for webserving too.
Thanks
Nice device! Looking for a reliable device. This website is a great source to get info about TV boxes.
nice built
To use as my main media center 😀
RK3368 is getting quite popular now, hope to test it. The X265 decoding cannot do 10 bits encoded media? Is it true?
Nice
Sounds great!
Thanks for the invite. Great device for the living room.
I would like to give my childeren something special, noo that was a Lie, I wanna play with it 😀
Nice Device
It’s free :p
I would like to replace my old HTPC by this TV Box.
Thanks
Looks nice.
thx for the giveaway 🙂
Thanks !
I’d love one of these!
Thanks for the giveaway. The device would be nice upgrade of my venerable Zotac HTPC.
Nice Device! thx for the giveaway!
Looks a great device
Here’s to OTAs that fix the issues.
Looks like a good devise, would be happy to get it 🙂
would like to compare it to the s905
Thanks!!
Seems to be a good candidate for HTPC.
I would like to win this cause I would like to win a solid piece of electronics
Hi,
congratulations to blog,
I wish the box because I do not own an Android box and would love to try it.
laptop broke so i have nothing else to use as media center 🙂
very nice!
Ugoos are expensive,I think I’ll use my MxQPro-40 bucks from Geekbuying.I don’t know about RK 3229,but for 30 bucks it’s insane-hope it isn’t hot as hell like Allwinner H3.
sign me up
thank you for the chance!
Tnx cnx
thnaks from my old tv
I would love to try this out…
Cool! I would be very happy to try it out!
I would use such a mini PC for media streaming at my parents home. They need something capable but simple to use, with no hassles…
And from what I heard, Ugoos is a brand which consistently provides software updates to its devices – and that’s very important!
Why would i want this?
Because my current Linux rig, as nice as it is, is too power-hungry, and I would like something that powers up faster and runs leaner and quieter.
For the remote!
As a player for my wall projector.
its nice 😉
As much as I despise Rockchip this chip shows some potential…so bring it on!
To give to my 82 yo father.
I only have an android stick because I can’t afford at the moment a good android box, It’d be nice if I won such a thing. Even so, keep posting articles as I always take a good chuck of my tech therapy from CNX. :-]
Ohh yea!!!! Ugoos in the house
Ugoos is a cool device!
good octa-core processor
I would like to use this with my bedroom TV. Seeing how I only have a raspberry pi zero plugged into it at the moment.
The hardware seems interesting and atleast as capable as the Pi2. I’d be interested in how it handles more background tasks while still pushing Kodi. How much ram does this one have?
looks great
Nice device.
quite nice, really
Thank you. Ugoos is a cool device!
yeah would be nice to win one!
thank you, sing me up
I love to have it to replace my old hTTPC.
I need this fresh blood! I want to test as media player.
looks like a nice give away
Nice!!!
Awesome site, Thanks for the giveaway!!!
And i really need to upgrade my 2007 media center pc.
great, thank you!
Don’t have a Rockchip based system yet so it would make a good addition to my ARM collection.
Thanks
I’d like use the box in a portable media/emulation center project!
good device, must have
Nice.
It’s a great media player
Looks nice!
I’m in
Looks like more fun to play with than my crappy old Roku 🙂
For Kodi !!!
good vendor support
Watch movies
Play games
Thanks for the opportunity.
Time to retire my WDTV.
Nice!
Personally I use fireTV stick to run Kodi, but I’m missing all of the other features that the android OS has to offer. It would be great to have the Ugoos UT4 TV Box!
Wouldn’t mind owning one 🙂
Nice board with GBe, but it is sad that it lacks the support for high speed storage (USB3/SATA)
This would be great to replace my aging HTPC.
Thank You for one more giveaway
I’ve never tried a Ugoos device before. I’d love the chance.
What Linux distros run on it so far?
My LCD TV doesn’t have smart capabilities yet.
Good media player.
“Kodi Forever”
Thanks for the information and this contest
Looks good 🙂
it’s a good box.
Would be nice to have it. I hope I win
Would like to also test a Ugoos device 😉
Coool!!… Thanks for the opportunity.

Would like to try it. Thanks.
Sure, why not to try? 🙂
primary need ))
Count me in please!
Hi, I would like to test the RK3368 platform.
Thanks! As always, great job!
I would like this bad boy! At last a device which has some serious power. If the software is brought up to speed we have a winner on our hands. My experience with the ut3s has my hopes up seriously for this device. On paper all the flaws have been tackled, so yeah, I’ll have this one please:-)
I want to compare it with my MINIX Neo X7 mini
Great box – I’ll try to use it as a transcoding TV streaming device with tvheadend.
Haven’t used a Rockchip device before, would be interesting to investigate!
Just starting to convert a dvd collection, need something to replace an old NowTV box before testing final formats.
Going to read more of the blog, lots of useful testing info, especially like the audio output details.
Ugo gogo 4 Ugoos 4 🙂
I use Android for all my computer use now, but my old HTC is barely adequate as an HDMI computer. I am building an Android AI via Tasker and I want it to work seamlessly over all my devices.
Need a new device 🙂
Thanks for the opportunity!
I want it too.
Yes yes
Wow, I am looking forward to win this because my old t-r42 box stopped working suddenly few days ago. No cables, no TV, nothing to entertain the family. And this box rocks as reviews tell me.
Nice ^^ Thanks
me too
please my uhost2 just broken
I’d like to to see how smooth the playing of video/ streaming (1080P and 4K) compare to Amlogic s802/s905 on Kodi/FMC (Freedom Media Center).
Wish i win but… good luck to every one 🙂
Id love to compare this to the boxes i have
Nice box with good support.
I want it
Nice box!
Happy owner of Ugoos UT3s!
