Been a bit Busy today, let's continue
A seen in pictures simple unit looks ok, Basic looking.
CPU using weight block as heat sink, should be Ok would be better without the galvanised finish I think.

Onto startup:

Simple startup, no fancy pancy, Standard 912 Amlogic Logo Boot then MBOX animation (4 squares)
Fairly quick Boot, Set up of Google sign in etc all good, updated apps, and installed testers.
Testing apps are always installed from Google helps me to check out WiFi and ethernet speeds and
how things in general install, or a bit of a feel how things are going. looking ok.

Did a quick test on Netflix looks OK not HD, and YT 1080p. ok

A couple of app's(google)had crashed first run in startup but after reboot nothing.

Very basic Rom, basic feel, could do with a good custom rom, maybe something around already that may work (as they often do).

Temps looking OK, 40c idle 60~70c when pushed no meltdowns.
We have Root no SU, No Upper Notification or Lower TaskBars

To the tests and Info


On the test Bench with A New Router Asus AC86U Wireless AC 2900Mbps Gigabit Router, works very well easy to setup with Asus App, all updated excellent.

UI simple no frills.

Remote is OK needs to be pointed at it, nice to see a different style.
I thought Antutu might have been a bit better but like all these Benchmark test and scores it's just an idea that it works
If this had a good Rom, clean lean no doubt it would be excellent maybe who knows.
Box works ok does as it should. but could do better.

Guten Tag,

Die Forum Sprache ist English bitte beachten
Es ist im Bereich des möglichen das Sie gleich sind.
Du kannst die Firmware Flashen, wenn WiFi nimmt geht nicht schlimm Back to Stock.
Briken kannst du die Box nicht.

Received the box today. I'm already having issues. Kodi won't update so I removed it, now it won't download from the play store. Any ideas?

That is the Z69 Plus, not Z69 Max...

[scooter2014]

Then you out of luck until its posted..... Most of these releases work on the 2/3 gig devices but not knowing on thos one I dont have that device.

[floppymaster]

Yes, that's why I was asking. I hope someone here is willing to provide images from their box, it would be much appreciated. I'm able to access fastboot, so can flash it if I have the partition image. Thanks

[scooter2014]

Thats why I hate so many releases. 2/3 gig firmware one device... Easy... These boxes arnt the greatest and slow on crap firmware so thinking not much help coming on these devices. Z69 - Tanked out of the gate... Better value in the h96 or tanix or alf side of 912...
