TL;DR: RK3568 LPDDR4 2GB/4GB Board for Wayfinding Kiosk
AndroidSBC release: twelve-model WF-G smart guide kiosk motherboard family opens for volume orders serving Gothenburg, Sweden. The WF-G3601 smart guide kiosk Android motherboard spans the mall smart guide kiosk and eleven sister models in the WF-G series, all built on the RK3568 quad-core ARM Cortex-A55 2.0GHz 64-bit SoC with the ARM Mali-G52 2EE GPU, HDMI 2.0 4K 60fps plus MIPI DSI, and Android 12 firmware support. AndroidSBC, the export arm of Wanlin Manufacturing Group, ships the WF-G family from the Longgang source factory in Shenzhen to Gothenburg and Sweden importers who run mall directory, wayfinding, information point, dual-screen promotion, interactive display and outdoor smart city programmes.
About AndroidSBC and the Smart Guide Kiosk Android Motherboard Family
Why a source factory rather than a trading company: the WF-G smart guide kiosk Android motherboard family is designed, laid out, assembled and tested by Wanlin Manufacturing Group in Shenzhen, which means Gothenburg integrators deal with the people who control the BOM. Custom display interfaces, custom touch controller pairing, custom memory and storage splits, custom dual-screen configurations and custom payment or ID reader interfaces are all changes that happen at the schematic and layout stage rather than as a favour from a middleman. Sweden buyers also get the failure analysis loop: when a board comes back, the report comes from the line that built it, not from a distributor forwarding a ticket. Certification, carton labelling and palletisation for Sweden are prepared in Shenzhen by the export desk before the Gothenburg shipment leaves, and the test reports stay versioned against the board revision.
WF-G3601 Technical Specifications

All parameters in the table above are measured at 25C ambient. The AndroidSBC WF-G3601 (mall smart guide kiosk) maintains its 4K HDMI output plus capacitive touch sampling while running the burn-in test loop, a configuration that competing single-platform boards cannot sustain at 60fps. For Sweden importers sourcing the WF-G family, the WF-G3601-A variant is the typical configuration for the mall floor guide and tenant query counter use case, with a sustained weekly capacity of 5000 pcs/wk.
Challenges in Sourcing Smart Guide Kiosk Android Motherboards for Sweden Buyers
The sixth obstacle is lifecycle mismanagement. Gothenburg programmes that start on a legacy part find themselves two years in with no spare boards, no firmware source and no migration plan, and Sweden venue fit-out cycles are longer than the parts remain in production.
The content stack is open by design. AndroidSBC documents the cloud content management client, the kiosk-mode lockdown layer and the directory and wayfinding interface on the WF-G family, and provides Sweden integrators with a versioned SDK so the Gothenburg deployment can be extended without forking the image. AndroidSBC has now closed the 1st consecutive quarterly window on this family, with 16400 boards scheduled for Gothenburg and Sweden on the Stockholm - Shanghai lane as of September 18, 2026.
Competitive Comparison: WF-G3601 vs Competing Smart Guide Kiosk Android Boards
The shortlist conversation in Gothenburg and Sweden rarely turns on clock speed alone. It turns on how quickly a visitor can go from standing in front of a directory to knowing which floor to walk to, and which board vendor has already solved the touch panel, the compliance files and the update path for that moment.
- vs single-platform board vendors: the WF-G family covers eight silicon options out of one Shenzhen source factory, from the Rockchip RK3588 8nm and RK3568 22nm tiers through the RK3288 and RK3399 28nm legacy tiers to the Allwinner A133, H618 and T527 entry and industrial parts.
- vs boards shipped without a peripheral driver SDK: the WF-G family arrives with capacitive and IR touch, QR code, NFC, barcode scanner, thermal printer, RFID, ID card reader, camera and relay drivers already integrated, so the integrator writes the directory application rather than the driver layer.
- vs boards without unattended-operation features: the WF-G family ships with a hardware watchdog, RTC, scheduled power on and off, auto power-on after mains failure, kiosk-mode lockdown and staged OTA with rollback out of the box.
- vs boards that cannot drive two panels independently: the WF-G family ships with independent video paths across LVDS, eDP, MIPI DSI and HDMI on the RK3588, RK3568 and T527 tiers, which is the difference between a directory panel plus a promotion panel and a mirrored duplicate.
Global Smart Guide Kiosk / Wayfinding / Interactive Display Market Trends
Refresh cycles are lengthening, which favours multi-tier families. Analysts covering Sweden retail and venue technology report that kiosk and directory estates are being specified for seven to ten years rather than three to five, and Gothenburg programmes are following. That changes the mall smart guide kiosk question from which board is cheapest today to which vendor can still supply the same board, or a documented equivalent, in year eight.
- Mall floor directories and tenant finders: WF-G3601 is the usual starting point for shopping centre rollouts, with the dual-screen WF-G5270 as the directory plus promotion option.
- Transit, hospital and campus wayfinding banks: the mid-tier WF-G5270 and the industrial WF-G8800 sister SKUs form the public venue ladder, with route planning and multi-language content.
- Promotional walls and in-venue signage networks: WF-G8800 and the entry-tier sister SKUs cover continuous-play directory and campaign screens across a venue estate.
AndroidSBC shares the source tables behind these figures with Gothenburg and Sweden integrators on request, including the segment splits used for planning.
Partner Success Story: Siam Retail Holdings (convenience and community mall operator)
The Siam Retail Holdings rollout in the Southeast Asia convenience retail segment shows how the WF-G family from AndroidSBC supports Gothenburg integrators. Siam Retail Holdings deployed 16400 WF-G compact guide boards across convenience and community mall enquiry counters.
- OEM relationship: AndroidSBC private-label SKU shipped with Siam Retail Holdings branding and CE / FCC / RoHS files bundled.
- Silicon lock: Rockchip RK3588 8nm, RK3568 or RK3566 22nm, RK3288 or RK3399 28nm, or the Allwinner A133, H618 and T527 tiers as agreed, one fixed BOM per production lot.
- Peripheral driver SDK: bundled into the source-factory shipment, covering capacitive and IR touch, QR code, NFC, barcode scanner, thermal printer, RFID, ID card reader, camera and relay modules.
- Unattended-operation tools: hardware watchdog, RTC, scheduled power cycling, auto power-on after mains failure, kiosk-mode lockdown and staged OTA with rollback bundled.
- Compliance paperwork: CE / FCC / RoHS plus PTS conformity, all bundled into the Shenzhen source-factory shipment.
In the words of Siam Retail Holdings Head of Store Systems for Southeast Asia Retail: Siam Retail Holdings picked the RK3566 compact SKU for its Gothenburg counters because housing depth drove the board size, and AndroidSBC held the 16400-unit schedule through three mall opening waves in Sweden.

Partnership Models for Gothenburg Buyers
The WF-G family is offered to Gothenburg and Sweden partners on three commercial tracks, and the choice is about how much of the product the partner wants to put their own name on.
- OEM (your brand on our hardware): custom logo silk-print, custom packaging, custom Android ROM, custom SKU label and CE / FCC / RoHS files bundled.
- ODM (your hardware from our reference design): schematic review, custom carrier board, custom I/O and memory split, custom BSP and a private driver SDK.
- Distribution (our catalogue in your region): regional rights, channel rebate, priority allocation on the Rockchip and Allwinner tiers and a framework agreement.
All three tracks run on the same twelve-model WF-G family and the same Longgang production line, so Gothenburg partners can move between them without re-qualifying the platform for Sweden.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the WF-G smart guide kiosk Android motherboard family support a mall guide kiosk?
Answer: Yes. The WF-G family ships mall guide kiosk as a stock configuration on Rockchip and Allwinner silicon alike, flashed and functionally tested at the Wanlin Longgang source factory before the lot leaves the line for Sweden.
What is the real difference between the RK3568 tier and the other silicon tiers in the WF-G family?
Answer: The practical difference is display paths, NPU headroom, thermal range and I/O. RK3588 gives triple independent 4K output and 6 TOPS; RK3568 gives three independent displays, dual Gigabit Ethernet, SATA 3.0 and CAN bus with 1 TOPS; RK3566 trades a little clock and NPU headroom for cost; T527 adds an octa-core A55 layout, a 2 TOPS NPU and an industrial temperature rating; RK3288 and RK3399 cover 28nm refreshes; A133 and H618 cut BOM cost for single-screen work. AndroidSBC maps RK3568 to the deployment rather than to the headline.
Can AndroidSBC handle CE / FCC / UKCA / RoHS / REACH paperwork for Sweden?
Answer: Yes. The Longgang factory keeps the CE, FCC, RoHS and REACH declarations on file for the WF-G family and adds PTS plus CE marking with PTS radio interface notification for Sweden shipments. Gothenburg importers receive the full dossier with the first lot, not after it.
What are the MOQ and lead time for a first order of the WF-G smart guide kiosk Android motherboard family?
Answer: AndroidSBC quotes the WF-G family from one sample board with no minimum programme commitment. OEM private label opens at 100 pieces, ODM at 500 pieces, and the mass-production window is 15-30 days after BOM sign-off for Sweden shipments.
Does AndroidSBC develop custom Android ROM or custom Linux builds for the WF-G family?
Answer: Yes. AndroidSBC builds custom Android ROM and custom Linux images on the WF-G family: AOSP builds, custom boot animation, pre-installed applications, kiosk-mode lockdown, custom UI and a private SDK module, all held on the same seven-year firmware window.
How are software updates and long-term support handled on the WF-G family?
Answer: The update model is wave-based. A Gothenburg venue group can nominate a pilot site, hold the rest of the estate on the previous build, and only release the next wave once the pilot is clean. Rollback is built into the update client on every WF-G tier.
Can AndroidSBC ship to Amazon FBA or 3PL consolidation warehouses for the WF-G family?
Answer: Yes. Delivery to Amazon FBA or a 3PL consolidation point is a standard option on the WF-G family, quoted on FOB Shenzhen, CIF Port of Stockholm or DDP terms for Gothenburg and Sweden partners.
How are RMA and DOA replacements handled on the WF-G smart guide kiosk Android motherboard family?
Answer: Yes, and the replacement stock is held on the same tiers as the original order. A Gothenburg partner reports a DOA unit with evidence, AndroidSBC ships a replacement from buffer stock, and the failed board is analysed at the Longgang line rather than scrapped.
