Although they only have three products aimed at home use, Zidoo got a lot of attention here on MiniPCDB (and on other technology sites) and all that is because of their refreshing and open attitude.
The brand itself is only one year old.

So after testing all three Zidoo models, how about a side-by-side comparison on them?

Let's start with what they have in common.
All Zidoo Mini PC's benefit from the same in-house software development team. This is very important as there aren't many similar Chinese companies that do their own software, most of them either use a third-party company or simply provide no software at all, so after the product is sold you'll need to use DIY firmware from sites like Freaktab (if you're lucky enough to find a compatible model).

Also, they all use the same Remote control app, I used Zidoo X9 to record from Zidoo X6 Pro (see our Youtube channel) and it was a pleasant experience. The Zidoo RC app let's you manage all Zidoo devices on your local network.

8GB ROM 2GB RAM 4 GPU 4 CPU Zidoo X9 OS Wi-Fi LAN Gbit CHIPSET Mstar MSO9180    Rating 4 - 1	Zidoo X9 Zidoo X9 is the first Mini PC launched and the most expensive of the lot at $129 on Amazon. But although it's almost one year old, it still has it's own niche: the device can be used as a PVR and with the dedicated Zidoo app you can use it as a NAS. It has a solid metal chassis which proved to be not only good looking but it also does a good job at dissipating the heat. As needed for the NAS function, the device can stay on for weeks without any problem.
8GB ROM 1GB RAM 8 GPU 4 CPU Zidoo X1 OS Wi-Fi LAN 100M CHIPSET Allwinner H3    Rating 3 - 1	Zidoo X1 There had to be a device for lower budgets and that's where Zidoo X1 comes in, bringing very good performance for it's $59 price tag (Amazon). Zidoo chose for this Android Mini PC an unusual yet colorful look that really grows on you. Not only that, Zidoo X1 has a customized version of Kodi which brings good file format support for it's price range.
16GB ROM 2GB RAM 8 GPU 8 CPU Zidoo X6 Pro OS Wi-Fi LAN Gbit CHIPSET Rockchip RK3368    Rating 4 - 1	Zidoo X6 Pro Zidoo X6 Pro is the newest kid in the block and the Rockchip RK3368 SoC really makes a difference with it's 8-core 64-bit processor and the HDMI 2.0 port (detailed specs below). Zidoo worked on a custom version of Kodi for this device (and even released the source code for their changes). You can read our detailed review for Zidoo X6 Pro here. Zidoo X6 Pro is available on Amazon for $109.

OK, so judging from the above comparison chart Zidoo X6 Pro wins by a landslide. But I've tested all of them and my favorite is the X9. I like the metal case and the fact that it has an on/off button and for reviews I found the HDMI In recording feature to be very useful.

Zidoo chose the platforms wisely as they have 3 products that don't really compete against each other: we have one aimed at lower budgets (X1), one to be used as a powerful Kodi box(X6 Pro) and the general-purpose X9.
I can hardly wait to see what will they use next :-).
