Ok, guys, We get another new quad core mini pc from our old friends “imito”, If you are an imito mini pc fans, and love their imito mx1 or imito mx2 before, then here is your choice now.
Geekbuying will still be the ONLY seller to sell this iMito QX1, don’t look around 🙂
Model is iMito QX1, use the powerful RK3188 quad core CPU,and Mali 400 MP4 GPU, 2GB
RAM and 8GB storage.built-in bluetooth, support the real 1080P output, also support external wifi atenna expand, wow, so many exciting features 🙂 but let’s check the AD photos first:
As usual, iMito has the best design in all of the MINI PC i have ever seen, they plan to release different colours, but at the first bulk, there will be only black colours;
After check the ad photos, now let’s check the real photo for iMito Qx1.
From those photo, we can see, the iMito QX1 has the Male HDMI port, one USB 2.0 port, one Micro USB port, support micro sd card expanded and it also have a special external wifi antenna port.
Update on 16th May, we have started to sell the external antenna here:

The Special external WIFI antenna port is a big selling point for iMito QX1. As far as we know from the imito factory, imito qx1 already built in internal wifi antenna and the wifi siginal is already excellent, however if you guys still more strong wifi signal, then iMito QX1 also give you a choice.This wifi antenna is not included in the package, if you need, you should buy it as accessories. Later we will check how the wifi improve when insert the antenna wifi.
ok, Now let’s check what inside of the iMito QX1
some questions you may ask:
1 Heatsink, The iMito QX1 will come with heatsink when we ship to you guys, just the sample i get has no heatsink, so no worry for this;
2 WIFI bluetooth is not like Tronsmart MK908 or Tronsmart T428, iMito QX1 use the seperate wifi bluetooth chipset, wifi model is realtek 8189, bluetooth model is rda5876a, the max wifi speed can reach 150MBPS. but don’t support 5Ghz wifi, T428 is still a winner for this.
More review about the system profermance will coming soon.
Stay Tuned with us!

PS: Another good news is imito factory don’t give up the support on the mx1 /mx2, their engineer tell me, the Android 4.2 update on imito mx1/mx2 will be finished in these days,and will give me to release to you guys.
Great. Finally some information about the QX1. Now I have to decide between the MK908 and this device.
It’s a pity that the new model from iMito has one USB port less than its predecessor.
However the opportunity to plug an external antenna is a big advantage.
Do you have an idea if there will be Ubuntu portings for the RK3188, like PicUntu for RK3066 devices?
Best regards.
what about 5.1 output via hdmi? does it work? 🙂
Ha, thanks for your question, but how can i test that, friend?
Thanks for the internal PCB pictures! This stick is a very good option if you want future Linux compatibility, since the Wifi chip is supported and it has a power management chip (below the flash), which is excellent.
In order to port Linux (like Ubuntu) to the QX1 we only need the kernel source code. iMito has it and if they open it: all the people wanting Linux will buy this stick!
Please benchmark it!!
THX!
Yes,i will do that later, but i think all of the RK3188 base tv stick won’t have big difference in the benchamark 🙂
1) Is there a link for buying the external Wifi adapter?
2) Have you confirmed Google Play Movie and Netflix support?
Yes, we will have those external wifi adapter set up in our site later. Google play store works no problem, but netflix we can’t test, because we are in china, and no netflix support here, but since the imito qx1 has same cpu and gpu with tronsmart mk908 or t428, so it also should work.
This device looks very good, seems the better quad core untill now from me, the external antena output is a very good idea, and how galland says is a very good candidate to run picuntu if we can access to the kernel sources.
I know that share kernel sources is not a geekbuying fault, but please if you are in contact with the manufacturers of the device, please speak with them about this. Share the sources of the kernel will make all this devices more populars, and a lot of more people will buy them. The devices with a big development community are more interesting to the consumers and they got and extra value with it. BQ is a manufacturer in spain that share their kernel sources, they were the first that released the sources for rk3066 devices, and thanks to them we have linux running in our rk3066 devices.
Can you post a link to download the imitoqx1 firmware I need to reflash my demo unit
This device looks pretty sweet.
I particularly like the external WiFi antenna port. When the router is a bit far from the TV set, having a strong signal is a must for HD Streaming. I would have prefered an Ethernet port, but external antenna port is still better than nothing.
Can’t wait for the reviews on this device!
When does geekbuying start to ship?
What the negative and postive points of this stick vs the tronsmart t428
thx anyway/
