For only $150, Coex CMC-M055 is an Android
HD/3D Player having the best price in the market, plus digital TV.
CMC-M055 is Coex’s first official Android device
in Vietnam. Despite Realtek 1186 chipset, Android OS, 3D support and other
features of a digital receiver, the price is amazingly $300, which is
considerably cheaper than other Android models like HiMedia HD900B or Datage HD
Pro i6.
Coex CMC-M055 gets a fashionable compact
design in glossy-black plastic case. The front is simply curved with only LED
light and power button, no monitor. In the right side are connectors of USB
2.0, USB 3.0 and card slots. In the back lie ports standardized for HDMI 1.4 O
(3D and HD), AV Composite and Component, Coaxial/ Optical digital audio lines, LAN
output, In/Out antenna output for receiving digital contents.
3.5inch is inside the case. User has to remove
the metal lid due to lack of a sliding tray. However, thanks to a high-speed
USB 3.0 connector, transferring data is quite simple without opening case to
get the HDD. To enjoy Wi-Fi feature, an external USB antenna is required.
Because of owning newest Realtek 1186, Coex
HD/3D Player is quite fast. Startup time of whole system including Android 2.2
OS takes nearly 1 minute. The device’s simple interface also helps user’s quick
operation with less lagging when remote control is used. The model runs on
Android 2.2, supporting apps, games HTML5 web browser.
The model supports popular HD and 3D formats
including virtual Blu-ray discs. They are classified in categories: movies
(also viewed in cover arts), music and photo. In a test, we played a 10GB HD
movie in the 2.5inch mobile HDD; streaming time at first was slow. Though, display
quality was good, sound and subtitle processes are flexible. Rewind/forward/skip
features were fast with no lag.
