We had started seeing 8K TV boxes based on the Amlogic S928X processor at IBC 2022 last September, but with few details. The announcement of SDMC DV9286 brings a few more details like the GPU used in S928X and which version of Android is used.

SDMC will provide Android 13 or higher with either the Android TV standard or the Operator Tier Launcher for the 8K TV box. The device is Netflix compliant, subject to Netflix/operator certification, and compatible with Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, YouTube, etc. It also works with Google solutions like the Google Play Store, Google Assistant for voice control, and Chromecast. SDMC provides its own Terminal Management System (TMS) to remotely manage terminals for OTT and IPTV deployments.
We didn’t have any information about the GPU last year, but we now know that Amlogic S928X devices will not be the most powerful gaming machines since the Mali-G57 MC2 GPU supports the 3D graphics of the found Arm Mali-G610 MP4 GPU will not achieve in the Rockchip RK3588 processor. For rich 3D user interfaces and many (casual) Android games it should be good enough.
We don’t have any availability information, but SDMC will be showing the DV9286 at MWC 2023 in Barcelona from February 27th to March 3rd, along with other products such as a Wi-Fi 7 mesh router, a WiFi 6 router and various 4K TV sets. Presenting boxes, as well as software solutions with XMediaTV IPTV/OTT platform and XHome IoT platform for remote management of devices. A few more details can be found on the product page.
