Egreat (Egreat Technology CO.,Ltd) a Chinese manufacturer offering high-quality TV Boxes is launching another TV Box called Egreat A11. You had the opportunity to familiarize themselves with earlier models: Egreat A5 (review here) and Egreat A10. As you can see the TV Boxes are made of aluminum (like Himedia, ZIDOO, etc.) and they look visually aesthetically, resembling their high-end design. Probably Egreat decided to aim with his devices in more refined tastes of audio/video fans. Certainly, the Egreat units look great in combination with other home theater/amplifier devices. This also applies to the Egreat A11 TV Box which is expected to be available after July 26 (probably).
In addition to high-end design (similar to Egreat A10) inside we will find well known SoC HiSilicon Hi3798C V200. As you can see Egreat liked this chip and used it again in the new TV Box (probably not the last time). The TV Box has 2GB DDR3 RAM and 16GB eMMC for data. In addition, the TV Box features a 3.5″ HDD SATA bay for larger movies and photos. The A11 has a built-in fan for better cooling. Also comes with two HDMI ports, one HDMI only audio. TV Box, as previous models support: Blu-ray ISO Playback, Blu-ray Menu Navigation, HD Audio Passthrough, 1080P Hardware Acceleration, 3D Blu-ray ISO Playback, DVD Menu Navigation, Access Home Sharing Server, OTA Update Support. The device currently runs on Android 5.1.1 with EgUI. More details in the specifications below.
