Android 8.1 TV Box, A95X MAX Amlogic S905X2 Quad Core 4GB RAM 64GB ROM HDMI 2.0 4K HD Ethernet 2.4Ghz/5Ghz Wifi Bluetooth 5.0 USB 3.0 Media Player With Recording Function

I bought it to use specially as NVR hub for IP cameras which is capable to be used with 2TB 2.5" HDD. The device itself works great but the IP CAM app does have some issues - but this is not connected to device functionality.I've tested Netflix, HBO GO, Stremio and all of the online streaming apps worked just fine. The same counts for 4K video content on Youtube. If you're seeking for tiny but powerful Android TV box you can't go wrong with this one.

After getting stung by a Shield TV with dodgy shielding somewhere that caused all sorts of connection speed problems, I decided to try something else.Design-wise, the box is a little dated. The grey box sticks out like a sore thumb on a TV stand full of predominantly black items.The remote has a plethora of controls and the hotkeys for YouTube and Netflix are very useful. The remote's signal however is a little flimsy and has to be pointed very directly to work - even in my fairly small front room. Once the batteries get a little tired it's basically useless.The box itself has initially performed well and the option to hook up a SATA drive internally is a fantastic idea. It's Android, not Android TV - meaning you may have to get creative to get certain apps to work. The really annoying part of this is constantly having to switch between the remote and a mouse, as you move between apps that work better on this setup than others. Netflix is a prime example.The box loves to disconnect from the internet. This happens with WiFi and ethernet connection, regardless of setup and location in the house. Everything I've tried has failed to establish if this is a hardware or software issue.I bought this item around June and it is now late November. It has already developed graphical glitches, stuttering and crashes. I'm pretty savvy with these things and have worked on 4 or 5 different TV boxes in the past - but this one has stumped me.Maybe mine is just defective and your experience might differ. Unfortunately, it's now too late for me to return and I'll probably never find out.TLDR: Many favourable features, but potentially unstable and awkward to work with.

The media could not be loaded.  When I received it, I was surprised by its size. Bit thicker compared to other but later came to know, it was designed in this way for a purpose. Though it looks big, it’s not that heavy. Comes with device, remove and DC 5v adaptor.The installation was very easy. Step by step guide make it even easier. It picks up the time from the OS to display in from of the device once connected to the internet. The front led display says BOOT while booting. The boot animation displays A95X logo. it has built in expansion slot for external drive. I have installed 128GB SSD on this slot. The heat dispensing mechanism is uniquely designed to dispense heat. Its renders 4K video without buffering. The device is rooted hence opens the doors of possibilities. Root switch is available in advance setting menu. Comes few apps prein-stalled but majority of Apps can be installed from play stores.Things I like;• Enough USB 3 port (Backward 2.0 compatible)• MicroSD card slot• Expansion slot for HDD• Faster CPU (64Bit) / GPU• Latest Android OS 8• Bluetooth v.5• 4 GB Ram and 64 GB as storage• Dual band Wi-Fi (2.4 and 5 Ghz)• Cooling vents all over the device• Recording function• Clean, probably the best launcher for TV-Box• Preinstalled Google Play store• Detachable top cover• Root switch• ROOTEDMy dislikes;• Spongy IR remote without air mouse (Outdated type)• No sound while recording• Plastic body• Security level as L3 and unprotected HDCP (No HD/4K in Netflix)Price seems bit hefty, but we are getting what we have paid for. This will for sure is the best in the market and will last longer. There is no comparison of this with the one with price tag of £40 and easily available all over internet. Worth the money and will not have to change the device soon with the changing technology.

Overall, a great product. The spec of this TV box is higher than most on the market, it is even similar to a PC's spec, for a TV box, this is really high. Comes with multiple USB ports for memory stick, keyboard, mouse, etc. Also a lot of other ports for TV and other audio system. I would imagine it will work with most of peoples existing home entertainment system. Also, the base OS is android, so it works with most of android software on the market. The thing I like most about it is you can install a harddrive or SSD in it to boost its already huge internal storage. I personally installed a 1TB HDD, tried it and it just works. Beauty of this is you don't need to set up the network devices for all your movies and songs any more, if the 1 TB storage runs out, you can easily upgrade with a bigger drive which comes quite cheap these days.The high spec harware and the standard android system enables you to use pretty much any app around these days. My personal favourite is Kodi, which gives you a lot of options. Only drawback is it takes time to set it up. But for normal use, youtube, BBC iPlayer, Netflix, Amazon Prime apps all works on it. The advantage of this box is, the high spec hardware gives you the freedom to run a lot of other heavyweight apps like Kodi compare to thoes cheap low spec boxes.If I had to say anything bad about it is the price, understandablly so, given the very high spec of the hardware, afterall you get what you are paying for, I guess. Other thing is, if you can improve the user interface, it would be a lot easier for the none techy people to enjoy it.Very pleased with the product.
