About Hardware ARM Mali-T860 MP2
Mali-T860 MP2 is ARM's mid-range mobile graphics processing unit (GPU) consisting of 2 shader cores. This GPU is designed to deliver better power efficiency compared to previous generations such as Mali-T760, while still maintaining sufficient graphics performance for daily needs. Mali-T860 MP2 is widely used in older chipsets such as MediaTek MT6750 and Samsung Exynos series 7, and is found in many popular Android devices of its time, such as OPPO F1s, Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime, and other devices.
With support for modern graphics standards such as OpenGL ES 3.1, Vulkan 1.0, as well as RenderScript and OpenCL 1.2, the Mali-T860 MP2 is capable of running a wide range of Android applications with a smooth interface, stable HD video playback, and light to medium games with adequate performance. While not designed for heavy gaming or intensive 3D-based applications, this GPU is still an ideal choice for an efficient and stable light multitasking experience, especially on devices with HD or HD+ displays.
In tests on devices like the OPPO F1s (refurbished) with 4GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage, the GPU was able to handle activities like browsing, social media, and video streaming without a hitch. The combination of decent graphics performance and energy efficiency keeps the Mali-T860 MP2 relevant for entry-level devices that are still in use today.
Hardware Detail:
Device: OPPO F1s/A59m (Refurbish)
RAM: 4GB
Storage: 32GB
OS: Android 5.1

About Hardware ARM Mali-450 MP
ARM Mali-450 MP is a power-efficient GPU designed for entry-level mobile devices, embedded systems, as well as set-top boxes and Android TVs. This GPU is the successor of Mali-400 and brings improvements in terms of graphics processing efficiency, memory bandwidth, and scalability. Depending on the chipset configuration, the Mali-450 MP can have up to 8 shader cores, although in low-end devices only 2 or 4 core versions are usually used.
With support for OpenGL ES 2.0, the Mali-450 is capable of handling user interface (UI) displays, video playback up to 1080p, and running lightweight applications and 2D or 3D games with basic graphics. However, since it is based on a relatively old architecture, its performance is limited to basic use only. Modern games or graphics-heavy applications will most likely lag or be incompatible. Even so, this GPU is still sufficient for light entertainment needs such as YouTube, Netflix, or light emulators in standard resolutions.
One device that uses this GPU is the FiberHome HG680-P, an Amlogic S905X-based TV Box with 2GB RAM and 8GB eMMC 5.1, running on Android 6.0.1 custom ROM atvXperience. With this configuration, Mali-450 MP is used to deliver a simple media center experience, suitable for video streaming and navigation of the lightweight and efficient Android TV interface.
Overall, the ARM Mali-450 MP remains relevant for low-cost devices and basic functions, although it is no longer ideal for heavy applications or modern gaming. This GPU is still found in many older Android TV sets, cheap STBs, and smart displays, where power efficiency and system stability are top priorities.
