Im looking for android phones that can output to a TV (direct HDMI or MHL being the only options I know). I have used this list as a reference http://meetmhl.com/DoIHaveMhl.aspx, but since there are various new asian models in the market that are not listed in MHL list I hope some of you could help me out with more models.
I don't need multiple processors or a fancy camera, just 1gb RAM and a price close to $200 (for example Huawei Ascend P1).
Anyone?

Hi everybody.
Already search the whole Web but didn't find any solution that could fit to me.
I'm using a Nokia N8 and i'm tired of this Symbian OS and its poor capabilities.
But i love the HDMI output, the USB OTG feature and the 12 mpx camera with Xenon flash. It's just the poor variety of customization and apps that makes me want to switch to Android.
I'm here to ask you if you know any device Android-based that has at least HDMI and USB OTG feature.
I found the Motorola XT720 which has HDMI and Xenon flash but its processor (720 mhz) makes the phone feel a bit laggy when using applications that involve lots of resource.
I also has a look at the Galaxy S II which has USB OTG but it doesn't have HDMI.
So do you know any device that fits my likes (HDMI and USB OTG)? I'm searching for any device that has Android on it, that it's ported (like the N900) or not, it doesn't mind.
Better if it has also a good processor so i can put some heavy applications to use while waiting at the hospital or something.
Thanks in advance, guys!
I've also seen the Nokia N9 specifications.
ARM Cortex-A8 OMAP3630 of 1 GHz with a GPU PowerVR SGX530.
It has almost same features (not sure about HDMI but sure USB OTG) on N8 but thinner.
But what it really convice me on waiting the release date and buy this device is that it has MeeGo!
As far as i can remember, the N900 had Maemo, which is the father of MeeGo, and the N900 could have been ported even to Android 2.3.
So the devices i have in mind are:
-Motorola Milestone XT720
-Samsung Galaxy S II
-Nokia N9
What do you think?

The Galaxy S2 has MHL, which allows you to stream video from the microUSB port.
All you need is an MHL-HDMI adapter and you're sorted.
A new technology startup, Stella Mira, is entering the compact computing arena with their new device, the Pocket Console. Like many other flash drive sized mini computers we have seen lately, the Pocket Console features an Arm Allwinner A10 chip clocked at 1.5GHz, along with 1GB of Ram and Wi-Fi built on board. It also includes Bluetooth 2.1 connectivity, like the FXI Cotton Candy. And 8GB of flash storage, which is double that of the popular MK802 mini computer. Best of all it's priced at $129, which although being priced higher than the MK802, is still significantly cheaper than the Cotton Candy. The device also features 3 full sized USB 2.0 ports, 1 mini USB port, and a microSD card slot. And, of course, an HDMI port, enabling it to connect to practically any screen around. As far as software goes, the device runs Mira's customized version of android four dot zero, which is said to include a variety of popular apps preloaded such as spotify and angry birds along with support for the most popular game pads, and emulators are built right into it. Stella Mira has also announced that they will begin accepting pre orders in September for a 3G capable version of the Pocket Console. You can also buy a dock like accessory for your Pocket Console, unsurprisingly called the Pocket Dock which comes pre loaded with your favorite Linux distro (granted it can run on the Pocket Console). Stella Mira's website claims that they have built customized versions of both Lubuntu 12.04 and Ubuntu 12.04 that run "beautifully". Not much information is given of what these customized versions entail so that remains to be seen in the near future. I have reached out to Stella Mira and am awaiting more information on the Pocket Console and Pocket Dock. Until I hear back, the Pocket Console seems to be a really great contender in the mini pc market and for $129 I really don't think you could regret giving it a try, I know I certainly will.
Couple of corrections, it's not a 1.5 ghz a10 cpu it is actually a 1 ghz single core a8 cpu and mali 400 gpu. It is the board that is called an a10 as in allwinner a10.
The 1.5 ghz comes from people adding the gpu and cpu frequencies together. If you see the ebay page you will see this is how they arrive at that clock speed but it isn't actually that speed.
The 3G version is to be nearly $200 and even at $129 for basic four gig version with no extras this will be dearer than the next mk802 yet have the same specs.
Unless it sells for as good or better price than the next mk will do, the mira pc won't do as well not least because it only ships to usa and is dearer than similar spec products.
It isn't really offering anything new other than bluetooth (which new mk will apparently have) and the dock.
It is a nice design but as, when it begins shipping (and even then only to some who order early because others have to wait) there will be equally specced devices cheaper, it will need more than it has to create a lot of orders.
It certainly needs to be available in europe and start a little lower in price and to make more advertising advantage of its heatsink feature (if its promo pics are accurate it may have one).

Your link doesn't show anything other than 3G modems. How does that pertain to the op's hdmi pc post?

As an observation, The MK802 already does have bluetooth possibility. just not in the stock firmware. I am running lubuntu on mine, and bluetooth works just fine. And as others have already stated, all the allwinner a10 devices are really only 1.0ghz not 1.5. I don't see anything with this new device worth spending almost double the $68 my MK802 cost me.
Hi, Can any one tell me
1. What is the difference between a "mini pc" an "android stick" ,a "tv box" ex' ?
2. What is the difference between Mk802III and Mk809II or it is the same gadget ?
3. What is the most powerful android mini pc that I can buy today (20 february 2013) ?
4. Is there a device like the above with four core cpu that has more speed, and can multitask better ?
I new to the forum so be patient with me please.
Thank you
the android stick usually has the form factor or a usb memory, just a bit larger and heavier.it has just one or two usb ports and an mini hdmi video output. minipc and tv box are usually more complex and include card reader, more usb ports and depend on design, more video out interfaces.
i never seen a android stick with a quad core cpu, usually they has cheap one core 1ghz cpu.
what is the best you can buy? well, hard to tell, usually i got some on ebay from china and very rarely i see the same object on sale more than once. pay attention when you buy one because they try to fake and say 1.5ghz cpu, while in the end it has a 1ghz cpu and 0.5ghz gpu
As stated in the title, I need an android box with a an RJ45 Ethernet jack.
I prefer to get one with the Mali GPU, at least 1G ram/8G rom. I would also like to have Miracast and Bluetooth.
Several boxes seem to fit the bill, but all the Amazon reviews mention these boxes dying within months!
I would rather have fewer features and reliability if there is a trade off.
So... Who out there can suggest a box that is reliable?
Thanks!

Do you have any price idea?
dual core ones,you can consider : NEO X5 or NEO X5mini;
quad core ones, you can consider: k-r42, t-r42 or neo x7.
I'm evalueting to buy a tablet eather for work and chill
I'm in search of only one "special" feature the MHL support aka usb to hdmi support for use it with old projectors and monitors who doesn't support mirroring
It is possible that almost every phone has this implementation but not so much tablets?
I' m watching to something similar to the Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 for specs, price and accesories (pen and a proper keyboard)
Do you have any suggestion?
Thanks
