Today, let's have a "side story" of the game box, because it is not a standardized second-hand product, and it is not an orthodox box. At present, big manufacturers such as big Xiaomi and Huawei believe that the new TV integrates a high-performance box, so they no longer launch high-performance boxes. But many people still have old-fashioned TVs at home, or connect to computer monitors or portable screens, and the need for high-performance boxes has always existed.
Since last year, "Naphagi Box" has suddenly become popular on the Internet, which is not a new brand, but a homophone corresponding to "Netflix", and everyone who understands it understands. The "Naphagi box" is usually modified from high-performance mobile phones, with Snapdragon 865 being the majority, and the performance is spike 922X box, benchmarking RK3588, with different shapes.
The first: square box shape
For example, the above "Naphthalene Box" has a high degree of modification, and there are three appearance versions of the same type of modification scheme. The first is 2 full-featured C-ports and 1 TF card slot, the second is 1 full-featured C-port, 1 TF card slot, 1 HDMI and 1 USB 3.0, and the third reduces the thickness and only has 2 full-featured C-ports and 1 TF card slot. The above three styles are all modified with Samsung S20 motherboards, all of which are equipped with cooling fans, and the configuration is Snapdragon 865+12G+128G, which supports TF card expansion up to 1TB.
These boxes all support a portable touch screen for OneLink, which allows you to play games without a controller, and can run NS's "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" smoothly. Of course, it can also be output to TV through the adapter HDMI, and it can also be expanded by external 2.4G game controllers, USB flash drives, mobile hard disks and other USB devices.
The second: flat box shape
The second one is closer to the appearance of an ordinary box, the shell is CNC secondary processing, and it looks like a weak handicraft trace, a bit like a product of mass production in a small workshop. The inside of the box is also modified with Samsung S20 motherboard (12G+128G), which supports TF card expansion. There are large area heat dissipation holes on the bottom and sides, and a cooling fan is installed, and the performance release is similar, and it can also simulate games from PS2 to NS consoles.
In terms of price, the reasonable price of all the above modified boxes is 500 yuan, and it is not worth it if there is more. I calculated the cost of modification, an S20 motherboard costs 200 yuan, and it is very easy to buy in a small yellow croaker. The cost of customizing a box shell is 100 yuan, plus the cost of radiators and various interfaces is 50 yuan, and the lowest cost of personal DIY is 350 yuan. At present, there is also a round box modified by the Snapdragon 8 Gen1 mobile phone, the price of 999 yuan is too expensive, and it has lost the cost performance, so I will not extend it.
