This year's TV box is quite hot, but everyone is not for watching TV, but for playing games. Previously, when I was writing about the game box series, I wrote about the box modified with the Snapdragon 865 mobile phone motherboard, but the price was 500 yuan. In fact, if you don't care about aesthetics, you can just buy a Snapdragon 865 "motherboard".
The so-called Snapdragon 865 motherboard machine is a machine that removes the screen, battery, back cover and other redundant parts, leaving only the motherboard. Usually Samsung S20 motherboard is the majority, and some businesses seem to have found foreign channels, so the motherboard machine has become a small industry.
Usually the Snapdragon 865 motherboard is not sold directly, the merchant will modify it for you to start automatically after powering on, and brush the machine, and even install some software for you that can "watch TV for free". In addition, some people will also buy a docking station to improve the aesthetics and expandability, such as an external OTG USB flash drive to watch local movies.
The most important thing about this thing is that it is self-starting when it is powered on,You only need to switch the TV signal source to an external output (pointing to the mobile phone),Then share a power strip with the mobile phone charger and the TV plug,Every time you turn on the TV,The motherboard will also start automatically。
In addition, I have also seen a machine modified with a Samsung S21U motherboard, although the Snapdragon 888 is a fire dragon processor, but remove the back cover and blow it directly with the electric fan, and the performance release is still very fierce. Of course, if you want to have craftsmanship, you can still use a 3D printer to get a box, or use an acrylic plate to polish a box by hand, and then you can make a Lock lunch box hollow out to make a box, this kind of motherboard is really ugly to use outside,
In terms of price, the price of the Snapdragon 865 motherboard modified from Samsung S20 is 300 yuan, and the storage combination is 12G+128G, while the price of the Snapdragon 888 motherboard modified from Samsung S21U is about 380 yuan, and the storage combination is also 12G+128G. But I'm a beauty controller, and I can't stand this ugly look at all, so I'm just writing it for your reference, and I won't play it myself.
