The Orion R28 will come in three forms. The Pro, the Meta and the Telos. The first comes with 2GB of RAM, 8GB of internal storage and 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi. The Pro also comes with 2GB of RAM but has 16GB of storage plus 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi. The Telos model won’t initially be available, but when it is released it will feature 4GB of RAM along with 32GB of internal storage and 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi.
The wholesaler is also offering a full refund to the first developer who creates a custom ROM.

All three models will run Android 4.4 KitKat with the promise of over the air updates. Ports on the media player include 3 x USB 2.0 ports, 1 x micro USB with OTG, a standard HDMI, plus a RJ-45 Ethernet port and micro SD card slot.
We are in contact with Geekbuying and we hope to get hold of a review unit, so that we can test out the Cortex-A17 processor and the ARM Mali-T764 GPU.
