The coupon code is great but where did you buy it from, did I miss it

[@yuzhong2577]

Can yiu watch live tv shows on it? I really need to know

[@JRT2011]

Might as well get the F4 , my f3 previous model works great. I would of upgraded if they had a more powerful chip in this one.

[@dennismoore3669]

Although there is no 3.0 USB port and it doesn't support Mirror casting yet it still is an OK box for the price. Thank u for bringing this box to our attention. Great review.

[@ChigzTech]

Thanks for watching.

[@BIGDADDYKNOWSBEST1011]

I love your reviews and you explain everything. Now I know what to buy the full android version. Thanks you are the best!!!!!!!

[@markchawner1586]

Thank you .... Excellent review as always. Always take in what you say, a really trusted source. Just great, always a pleasure to view .....

[@ChigzTech]

I appreciate that

[@3rb790]

A good receiver other than the temperature. Business thinks a lot about the Arctic regions only. It is not suitable for Saudi Arabia and hot regions.

[@thenoxy1549]

Hi , thanks for the review. Which would you say is better A95X F3 AIR II or X96 AIR ? (Both 4GB/32GB)

[@ChigzTech]

I prefer the F3 Air II

[@tindrli]

@@ChigzTech Why?

[@WYLMAS]

Pretty much same specs as the old version of this box (that I own for almost 23 months). Just that old version runs Android 9, has 1x USB 3.0 and 1x UBS 2.0 ports and comes with a different IR remote (that can control TV). Would I buy this one after owning an old one? No. I am happy with the old version of the box and I do not see this version as a good upgrade.

[@ChigzTech]

I agree, thanks for sharing.

[@AlexAndAr444]

I confirm that i have same almost 2 years now. Its work great.

[@JRT2011]

Same here , wish they put a faster chip in , but it's a downgrade. I'm happy with the old model. Still better then the clucky firesticks......

[@saifriz872]

Thanks for the review. As always you give a complete review about the products and end rating/ ranking which is helpful. On the video play back, outside Netflix/ hotstar, if i use a third party app to stream movies/ web series via this box will it play full hd/ 4k quality? Ideally it should right? Only the official apps would not support full hd/ 4k. I think you may mention this on your reviews going forward will be helpful for most of the people. 😊

[@ChigzTech]

Yes your right, it will play 4K from other streaming apps.

[@singkoi9639]

@@ChigzTech Name of the streaming app, please

[@Sedgley9024]

I have the A95 for 5 years. It's a workhorse and works perfect for streaming movies. I've had zero issues with it. Just keep on running. It auto updates. Does this unit auto update??? The only reason I'm thinking of getting a new one is that the ac adapter dies not stay in place so does not always turn on without jiggling it

[@danielkirk5660]

3:21 - high bit rate jellyfish 4k 160MBPS - absolutely fine with no issues you say? Then why is it an absolute chug fest on screen? Was it a problem with your capture card?

[@yakadoodledongywongy8718]

Depending on which streaming services you use this could be an absolute steal. Not good for Netflix or prime though.

[@articlewings9597]

The high bit rate jelly fish 4k 160mbps looks lagging to me. Please confirm if this is lagging or just some error in your video? Thanks

[@josephsprings1971]

Can you please recommend a box to use specially Kodi? Thanks

[@slappymcphee]

The 100Mb LAN kills it....lmao. I get that it is a budget price, but that is just pathetic in 2022. ALL streaming boxes should look to be able to run 4k on Plex if they advertise 4k and real 4k will smoke that terrible 100Mb.

[@ChigzTech]

Thanks for sharing.

[@voyager4328]

Agree 100%, and 2 USB 2.0 port's in 2022 is totally unacceptable .. IMO.

[@WYLMAS]

I have an old version of this box (same specs, runs Android 9). Never had issues with 100 Mbps LAN port. It is enough for 4K TV.

[@OldLion64]

@@WYLMAS That is fine but when you have 1 gig internet you dont want to be downgraded by a product. No reason for 100M this day and age.

[@bilalmughal6604]

Very good box cons are not much noticable because over all box is very fast and good to use

[@manti1923]

I had a couple of their boxes a couple years back they weren't great...personally buy a Firestick!!!

[@ChigzTech]

I like the Firestick 4K especially for the 4K streaming across the board.

[@tv175s3]

Are there budget Android Boxes that do have a navigation bar as standard?

[@dodo67b]

Nice test, but do you have any informations how is good X96 X6 android box with outside antena ?

[@yuzhong2577]

Can you watch live tv channels on this?

[@bilalmughal6604]

U said this box is rooted but its not rooted i think help me out plz

[@ceejayjdh]

Nvidia shield blows all these devices out the water, stands undefeated.

[@ChigzTech]

Yes still use mine. It is the best.

[@fredreed2001]

The Nvidia shield pro is very outdated and not very good anymore. I sold my Nvidia shield pro because it’s very outdated and has problems with adding a external hard drive as well. Stay away from those Nvidia shield pro models. Get a mecool instead more reliable and stays updated regularly.

[@smileyk4129]

​@@fredreed2001 what is me mecool? How much are they going for? Do they update on their own? Thank u

[@singkoi9639]

The price of NSP is MANY times more than this !

[@Glupkomatun]

And costs 3 - 4 times more.

[@fouadel445]

Hello, gamepad is not working on that tv box. Do you have a solution?

[@AntrAcsA]

You can stream with Android 11 but only from Google Home app. You need to install it on your Phone, but the box does not have Chrome Cast build in so... i don't know how this will works.

[@shainaamiirah3190]

Nice looking box with decent specs...👍

[@ahmedsaid-ny9mx]

Is it google certified?

[@ChigzTech]

No it is not.

[@paulhill1379]

Good review.

[@ChigzTech]

Thanks!

[@patrickcadette]

😁😁😁👍👍👍..cool chigz ..

[@chj915]

surprisingly those tv box (android) usually comes with 100MB ethernet connection which seems to be silly by today's standard.

[@R3AP3R664]

That is strange I bought mine a couple of years back and it has better chip and also supports USB 3.0

[@marcinzuk2995]

On my one Disney+ has no sound, video plays fine and on prime video as soon as I choose a movie hdmi problem popping up, KZbin works fine, Netflix ok. I don't get it why. Any help please

[@rmineTester]

Is there a way to install Linux on this Android box?

[@liulaolao7269]

Bought one and there is no DTS 5.1 support although ad said "programmable with 7.1/5.1 down-mixing" . Just output 2.0. Seller kind enough to give refund.

[@tv175s3]

1:20 strange that the image at banggood show 1xusb2 and 1xusb3 port fort this device, but the specs say 2xusb2

[@smileabdul]

Hey there! I am unable to scroll down on NETFLIX. I also have a cursor remote but that too does not help here. I cant even select any account on netflix without the cursor but after that I can only see the first page and cant go elsewhere. Help please!

[@bilalmughal6604]

Need help u said box does come rooted but some other says it has no root switch and no root access means i cannot root this or its possible to root this box

[@efrentorres5358]

It's not Android TV version 11... it's actually Android TV version 9... and it's not upgradeable.. But this box is good..

[@sebastianwirtgen1811]

Why they could not use the 64bit ABI´s? - All Boxes with Amlogic Chips.... Why use a 64Bit Soc and Limit the Apps to 32Bit - This Box could be Cool for Apps Like Userland and or Termux, if they´re would use 64Bit Android.... Hopefully Google will release a 64bit only Android Version soon. Rockchip uses that 64bit ABis allready Why Amlogic Can´t???

[@fouadel445]

is there an update of the firmware ?

[@theopoint-o5141]

No navigation bar? Then it sucks

[@skyfox1018]

160mbps video isn't playing good bro and also is s905w2 is more powerful than s905x4

[@ChigzTech]

Accidentally played the 300mbps sample. I can confirm the 160mbps plays fine and yes the S905X4 has a slightly higher clock speed of 2.0Ghz.

[@skyfox1018]

@@ChigzTech thank you for recommending

[@sinbrad]

Bit puzzled, first video of jellyfish slow and stuttering?

[@pcdynasty2288]

Not bad, especially for the price

[@kwok-leunglee9289]

Newer Air 2 seems to be a to be a down grade from original A95X F3 AIR as older version is running A55 and has USB3, running android 9

[@stupalmer8301]

Not bad at that price point

[@ChigzTech]

Yes the X4 has a slightly higher clock speed than the W2. 2.ghz vs 1.8ghz.

How to stop root

[@donjenkins2465]

Has anyone had problems with Wi-Fi... Mine connects to Wi-Fi (and I can ping the TV box form a PC) but I have no routing...Internet is unreachable?? However ethernet works OK.

for some reason i dont have gallery on this box.
