Thanks for the helpful content, I regret why I can't watch your video before I purchase the fake android box😢

Good one! 👍🏿

[@littleboyblue707]

Buti may mga ganitong Content 👌. Daming nag Bebenta ng mga low specs TV box. Ok lang kung 700pesos below, pero pag lampas na ehh mag dalawang isip na, pag sa tingin natin eh Too Good To be true, malamang tama ang hinala mo. 😁 Tama si Sir. Sa TV box pag nakita nyo na Rockchip processor dapat nasa 1000 below lang presyo nyan depende sa specs pa din. YUNG Amlogic pwede na sa 3000 below pero like sa rockchip madami ding Variant yan. Pag nilagay nila 8gb ram sigurado Japayk yan. Sa 700 pesos worth it pa din naman ang Fake TV box. Biro mo makaka youtube/netflix kana sa led TV tapos may movie at music player kapa. ✌️✌️ Basta tama sa Presyo ok na din. Salamat sa content bossing

Thanks for the affirmation bro, hopefully this will help future buyers to be more cautious. Madami na kasing nabiktima ang mxq pro na may fake specs.

[@ThinkFrugal]

Ang specs po ang pinepeke sa MXQ Pro 4K 5G. Lahat po sila ay mayroon lang 1gb ram and 8gb storage. Pwede pong i-connect sa smart tv, just setup your TV display output to HDMI mode.

[@RyanAusome]

Hi po! Can you share which shop you bought the legit/original mxQ boxes? I’m confused which shop to purchase. Sana maka help kayo! Great inputs here! Thank you po! 😅

[@ThinkFrugal]

1) MXQ Pro 4K Amlogic 1gb ram / 8gb rom (Real specs written in the box): Bought in 2016 from Aliexpress. Wala ng makikitang ganito in the market. 2) MXQ Pro 4K 5G Rockchip 1gb ram / 8gb rom (Real specs written in the box): Bought in 2021 from Shopee. Seller no longer available and active. 3) MXQ Pro 4K 5G Rockchip 1gb ram / 8gb rom (Fake specs written in the box 8gb ram / 128gb rom): Bought in 2021 from Shopee.

[@ThinkFrugal]

Lahat po ng MXQ Pro 4K 5G are all 1gb ram. Kung iyan ang nilagay na specs sa box, it means honest po ang seller/manufacturer. Pero kapag ang nilagay sa box at description na more than 4gb rom, automatically pineke ang specs niyan.

[@RyanAusome]

Nice! Thank you sa tip! Sige po. Will do mo research sa Shopee. Check ko na din reviews like what you said sa video! You just earned a new subscriber! Thank you po super!

Madaling maghanap ng mga legit android box seller kung mga branded android boxes and nais niyong bilhin tulad ng Mibox S, StrongLeap S1 or ng Mecool KM2 dahil may mga official store sila sa Shopee and Lazada. Pero kapag mga generic android boxes na ang usapan, it's nearly impossible na makatyempo ng reputable seller. Try PULIERDE ng Lazada, mukhang legit ang mga boxes niya and may one year warranty.

Sir pano po marerecover yung mxq pro 5g 4k ko.. nag hang lang po siya sa logo nang android sana po matulungan nyo po ako.. ayaw po gumana sa hard reset.. sana po may pumansin

[@ThinkFrugal]

If di kaya ng hard reset, ang next na step is ROM FLASHING which is somewhat a bit complicated dahil iba iba ang ginagamit na chipset ng device na ito, especially yung processor and wifi chip. First step is kailangan mo munang malaman kung anong klaseng wifi and processor chip meron ka. Then download the ROM na applicable dun sa chipset na yun. You can flash that rom using an applicable flashing software depende sa processor mo, may pang amlogic, rockchip and allwinner. Medyo mahirap and risky kung gagawin ito for the first time. I may release a tutorial on this in the near future to serve as a guide sa mga MXQ Pro 4k users.

[@ThinkFrugal]

There are three possibilities: 1) Nauubusan ng ram si mxq, kaya magrerestart siya to recover, make sure na lang na ang youtube app lang ang nakabukas na app para wala siyang kaagaw sa ram. Pwede ding un-install yung mga apps na hindi niyo ginagamit. 2) Pwedeng kulang ang sinusupply na power nung power adaptor niya. You can try another power adaptor na at least 2amperes ang capacity, make sure na 5volts din ang output. 3) Pwede ding outdated na ang youtube app na nakainstall at hindi siya optimized to run on mxq. Please refer to my other video on how update the youtube app: thinkfrugal.page.link/fixyoutubeandnetflix

Not necessarily. May mga green, blue and black na pcb din na ginagamit ang ibang manufacturers. Ang lahat ng MXQ Pro 4k 5g are all 1gb ram (I'm 99.9% sure, and 0.1% that I could be wrong), nagiging peke lang siya kapag minomodify ito to look like it has 2gb ram or more.

Wala po sa Ram Ang basehan kung makaka play ng 4k kahit Lower end na Processor basta supported . Kung MXQ po yung TV box nyo malamang nadale po kayo. Di po supported ng Netflix ang mga Rockchip CPU to play 4k hangang 1080p lang po .

[@Nors_]

Hello po how much po price range ng orig na mxq pro? Thankyou

[@ThinkFrugal]

Usually ang MXQ Pro comes with three different processors: Amlogic, Allwinner or yung Rockchip. Pinaka-ayos yung Amlogic, pero wala ka ng makikitang ganyan sa market. Then sumunod ang Allwinner, na bihira na rin makakita niyan. Pinakahuli na ang Rockchip, at yan ang madalas na binebenta. Ang kadalasang pinepeke ng mga seller is yung specs. Sasabihin nila na 16gb ram at 256gb ang rom, but in reality, 1gb and 8gb lang ang mga yan. So short answer is, ang mga mxq pro 4k na available na lang sa market ngayon ay mayroon lang 1gb ram at 8gb rom, so don't buy it if its price exceeds 700php. Wag maniwala sa 4gb or 8gb na ram.

It just sends your android box info to their server and validates your specs. Kaso matatalino na rin ang mga manufacturers/sellers ngayon, kahit cpu-z and device info HW, nadadaya na rin nila. Best way talaga to know the specs of your box kung may duda ka is to manually open it and check the product number of the ram and processor chips.

It's not necessarily recommended na rooted ang MXQ kung wala po kayong plano na i-edit ang system files niya. Sa ngayon, wala pa akong nakikitang way para mai-root manually ang mga mxq boxes na may rk3228a/rk3229 na processors. The only way na pwede silang maroot is by flashing a rooted firmware. Please see my other wherein I flashed a rooted firmware: thinkfrugal.page.link/Rockchipromflashing-yt

Or yung pede gamitin ung sd card bilang internal storage ?

Sir, sana lagay nyo kung san nyo nabili yung 2 mxq nyo na legit.

[@ThinkFrugal]

1) MXQ Pro 4K Amlogic 1gb ram / 8gb rom (Real specs written in the box): Bought in 2016 from Aliexpress. Wala ng makikitang ganito in the market. 2) MXQ Pro 4K 5G Rockchip 1gb ram / 8gb rom (Real specs written in the box): Bought in 2021 from Shopee. Seller no longer available and active. 3) MXQ Pro 4K 5G Rockchip 1gb ram / 8gb rom (Fake specs written in the box 8gb ram / 8gb rom): Bought in 2021 from Shopee.

[@ThinkFrugal]

Lahat ng MXQ Pro 4K 5G are all 1gb ram. Kung iyan ang nilagay na specs sa box, it means honest ang seller/manufacturer. Pero kapag ang nilagay sa box at description na more than 4gb rom, automatically pineke ang specs niyan.

[@joanalexismacapobre9369]

nakabili ako ng peke 1k di nba pde pag tyagaan to?

[@ThinkFrugal]

Pwede na rin, basta babaan lang ang expectation pagdating sa performance nito dahil 1gb lang ang ram and rockchip ang processor. Watch my other video how to speedup the mxq pro.

[@joffreyvidal6964]

kakabili ko lang ng 5G version ni MXQ nahulog ako sa patibong na 128GB yung storage anyway 200+ pesos lang naman bili ko ipang gift ko nalang sa mga kakilala ko na wlang Android box

[@Ken-be9tl]

bruh i should have watch this video before my dad by the box

[@ThinkFrugal]

Dont worry, it will still be useable, but do not expect much about its real life performance.

[@Ken-be9tl]

@@ThinkFrugal btw my play store on my tv was phone model

[@ThinkFrugal]

@@Ken-be9tl That's fine. If you can't find the app in the Playstore, you can always download the apk file from apkmirror.com and install that in your android box. Please refer to my other video here that covers app installation from third party sources: thinkfrugal.page.link/fixyoutubeandnetflix

[@ThinkFrugal]

Agree

[@basilquinto8828]

Yung MXQ pro 200 pesos lang po wholesale niya

[@anobayantv]

Bumili ako nyan, With Wireless Keyboard. Hindi sya maganda for me. Sobrang Lag at Mahirap connection, kahit 200mbps na kame. I've Switched to other at i am satisfied now. Kahit gumastos ako almost 9K, sulit dahil mabilis ang performance. Maganda na manood kayo muna neto. I will not recommend to buy MXQ, PANGET SYA.

[@dige_bjerg8131]

yeah i just buyd this for two dollars at some garage sale XD

[@ThinkFrugal]

I would have done the same for $2.

[@dougzrnb631]

I bought one at 880 pesos

[@secretyui2038]

Who the hell says buyd

[@GeneN3940]

nakabili ako 300 pesos brand new. pero fake ang specs ang actual 1GB ram at 8GB android 7 and not 11. ok sa netflix at google crome. mahina sa youtube. for 300 pesos, hindi na ako aangal. sana tapat lang ang nagbebenta. puros low specs.

[@edwinsibayan7603]

Sana mapansin mo comment ko sir ginawa kuna lahat ayaw parin gumana ung Netflix tapos ung date and time hanggang 1993 lang ang max walang 2022, tapos ung hw info ayaw din mag run

[@ThinkFrugal]

This has something to do with the installed firmware, may mga file issues kaya maraming errors. Try doing the factory data reset, baka sakaling maayos. Pag ganun pa rin, maybe it's time to install a new firmware na bro.

[@bibrey7068]

Saan pwede bumili ng reasinably priced MXPRO na hindi fake?

[@ThinkFrugal]

Lahat ng MXQ pro ay halos magkakatulad lang ng specs bro. 1gb lang talaga ang ram ng mga iyan. Price is around 400 to 600php. Kahit saang store ayos lang basta di lalagpas sa ganyang presyo. Pag lumagpas diyan, mas magandang bumili na lang ng x96 mini, strong leap s1 or ng mi box s.

[@jayjaymallen7305]

[@bente2896]

Magkano po original price Ng mxq pro 4k 5g ? Nabili Kasi namain Ng 4k.

[@ThinkFrugal]

Nakupo. Around 700 to 800php lang po iyan. Mxq pro 4k 5g only has 1gb ram. Pag ginawa po iyang 4gb 8gb or 16gb ram, ibig sabihin pineke na po ang specs niyan.

[@bente2896]

@@ThinkFrugal 256gb po ung storage nya nakita ko sa settings

[@bente2896]

@@ThinkFrugal 16gb 256gb nakalagay sa box. Sabi pa nung seller ung mga nasa shoppee Lazada mga premium copy lng daw yon.?

[@ThinkFrugal]

@@bente2896 Nadadaya po and device settings. Try downloading Device info HW sa MXQ niyo po to check. Pero minsan nadadaya din talaga ang mga ibang apps. Kung 16gb at 256gb pa rin ang lumalabas, ang pinakamagandang gawin po is buksan ang device, at nandun yung ram and flash chips, may nakasulat na model numbers dun. Dun natin malalaman kung talagang 16gb at 256gb. Pero I really doubt it. Iisang model pa lng ng android box ang nakitang kong may legit na 16gb ram, at napakamahal at rare po nito.
