Found Heatsink being raised by another component, removed and relocated back a little

As seen smallish PCB and not a bad looker at all overall

Running 32bit Android 8.1 and must say it's performing rather well

To continue, small size, looking ok
A95X PLUS TV Box 4/32GB Amlogic S905 Y2 A8.1 Dual WiFi, BT4, DDR4
Nice to see a different remote

Start up very easy with Wizard.
Wifi excellent on 5g and easy setup, Google login.
BT detects good.
Updated Apps, installed testers etc all good.

Surprised to see Upper and Lower Bars and has a Root switch like that.
Bit more imagination with the launcher would be a good change i think

Bit of Junk in the Trunk, some may like.

Looks like Kodi/TVMC 17.6
Latest Nightly 18.4 or 5 maybe 6 now of Kodi is also Pretty good I hear,

DRM is Level 3, no HD Netflix 480p only
Remote working pretty good,
Temps also pretty cool if accurate.

Not many ports, a USB Hub can take care of all that easy
No Ethernet will upset some, however I am finding WiFi is pretty good
So far so good I guess and pretty zippy

Let's Have a look see.

Start up Wizard, UI and Installed apps etc








Push Menu Button a few time you get into the Self Test


DRM L3

[romcrazy]

Should I buy this box? Is it recommended?

[trebor]

I think you have your answer in other threads,
As they have written: Depends on your needs and wants,
Its more the journey and not the destination with these type of Units.

Thanks to superceleron

Compare with the S912 chipset which is better?

[mo123]

Of course the S905x2.

[kolinsb]

trebor thanks for review. Is this box has problem with WiFi 2,4Ghz? Some models with amlogic S905X2 SoC I bought has problem with 2,4GHz (Mecool KM9, T95Q...). Did you tested 2,4Ghz WiFi? Thanks in advance!

[trebor]

I did not see any real problems with 2.4Ghz or WiFi in General at this location and same with other 905x2

Will test more channels Up and Down maybe just a sweet spot for a good connection,
This one is using an Onboard Antenna so in theory should be be better, with no loss (minimal) with cables, solder joints etc
More as it happens

Update

Just testing now a Router that is about 5 meters walls and doors etc, only showing 10/20Mbps download using fast.com
In same room getting 40's +, the onboard Antenna may have issues at a distance.

Thanks for reply. I am from Bosnia. There is more then 85% users using 2,4GHz WiFi routers. A lot of ISP-s still using 2,4GHz cable/ADSL modems/routers, and that's why is 2,4GHz for me important. Personaly, I am using 5,8GHz at my home, but some people buying boxes from me and they need fully operating 2,4GHz WiFi (they don't have possibility to buy it directly from internet, because they don't have paypal, credit card etc).
