Wondering if you have any idea what the difference is between this and the tx92 box?

The specs appear the same and I believe this is the newer of the 2 boxes.

Any chance you are going to do some tests on this box?

Cheers

[trebor]

Could be, have to wait to see what arrives maybe week or two due to Holiday in China 4days
Looking at pictures....

PCB in turned over compared to the 92




They add mentions Foresee eMMC TX92 has samsung

Display different by the looks but does not mean much....
Maybe someone will get one soon..

And we know these adds can be a little crazy at time

[JoseM]

DDR3 or DDR4 ?

[killeriq]

hello,

thinking to replace my Minix X8-H as there are some issues with playing ATMOS codes movies + some *.mkv movies are probably too heavy as is loosing sound for few seconds during playback.

---
Havent been looking into Andorid TV boxes for some time (2y+). Seems like many new model on the market.
Did quick look and found this one which i quite like by design and HW specs...Also M8S Pro - just need some with auto POWER ON (none POWER ON button)

1. Do u have any other tips suggestions?
2. Why is difference DDR3 vs DDR4?
3. How is it with custom FW and Recovery now?

Thanks

Well all back together, and nothing left over.

Easy on and setup same setup as other Tanix TX92
WiFi, Google etc setup easy no problems
Apps installed again all good.

No Problems see with temps, Max I saw was about 70c when Pushed..
Rest 55~65c Idle now Down to 45c, don't think it will have any problems but a few Vents would have been nice.

Remote does turn unit on from a power off state and is ok to use

Let's have a look.

Dear friend,
I would like to buy this box even though it does not have a Gear best memory card specifications. The box works with DDR3 or DDR4 memory??.
Please answer because I would like to buy this box just waiting for memory information.

Best Regards

[trebor]

Not sure about Ram, but in these boxes not much difference ddr3/ddr4
I think Card would be 32GB..most are

[JoseM]

very low antutu score like for S912 box especially RAM score

[mestra]

Ok thank you for fast response Trebor .

Best regards

[trebor]

Heavy games you "may" see a slight improve with DDR4 over DDR3, but in general running I fail to see much if any.

Anyone figure out how to change the default launcher on this box? I would like to use Nova but it won't stick as the default even though settings says it is the default Home. I can't see anywhere in build.prop to edit out the current launcher which is Oranth Tanix.

[gale]

After a short use 80c.

Hi Trebor,

I found your thread and would like to put my 2 cents on it. If adding my review here is inappropriate, please remove the post. Thank you! :-)


There's a TWRP that works with this box. I used that one and it was working fine: https://www.dropbox.com/s/voz2fp7ye7...3_ViT.zip?dl=0
Please note that I read somewhere it is not recommended to be installed and I haven't done it.

TO get to TWRP:
1. copy the zip on a sd microcard
2. boot to original recovery by pressing the home button of the remote while powering the box on
3. browse to the external storage and run the .zip file


Here's a detailed video review of that box:
