MXQ S905
First of all, i will say thank´s to http://sztomato.com for Sending me the MXQ Box for a Review.
Between the extremely cheap TV Boxes with Low Power CPU, the most interesting devices are the ones equipped with Amlogic S905.
The MXQ from Tomato is Powered by an S905 CPU with 1GB Ram and 8GB NAND.
Also, the Box runs on Android 5.1 with good Performance.
Here in the followings are the technical characteristics of the Box:
Dimensions and Build Quality:
The MXQ has a Size of 12 to 12 cm and 2 cm in Heigh.
On the Top there is the MXQ Logo, it glow Blue when you turn On the Box. Cool, i like it.
There are no gaps or sharp edges on the Housing, overall a good Build Quality.
With the Remote that comes with the MXQ, you can control it without any Problem.
The remote has a rounded back and fits very well in the Hand.
Benchmark and Test:
All benchmarks have been repeated 3 times and results have been averaged to give a more accurate reading.
Antutu Benchmark:
Score: 37102
3D: 4000
UX: 14423
CPU: 13599
RAM: 5080
Overall a good performance, faster then other S905 Devices.
A1 SD Benchmark:
A1 SD Benchmark tests RAM and flash memory speeds.
Internal Memory:
Reading: 44.29MB/s
Writing: 22.57MB/s
RAM:
Ram Copy 2376.85MB/s
Both are good Values.
Video Playback testing (Using KODI):
Resolution Video Format Local Playback Network (Wi-Fi/LAN) Playback
720p (1280*720) AVC ([email protected]) Work Work
1080P (1920*1080) AVC (High@L4) Work Work

Conclusions:
The MXQ is a different kind of kodi machine, both for its unusual shape and its target audience.
It gives an average performance.
