X99 Max Plus Full Android TV Box / S905X3 / 4GB+128GB / Under $60 / Any Good?

[@digitalmediafan]

Don’t buy this as google play is stuck on version 12.4 and can’t be updated. The supplier has no interest in updating / fixing the problem either

[@agregg9330]

Love the splash of color on the device as well as the look of the interface, price is very good as well. Very surprised by this box. Nice review Chigz. Hope you are getting some rest. Very nice of you and best of luck to those who enter

[@antuansebastian6547]

And that all the 4 processors run ALL the time on NAXIMUM frequency doesn't worry you? What a h is it? It does slow down the device but most interesting is - what it does by being 100% all the time?

[@twistedfx69420]

So the DDR4 version is considerably faster... I just purchased mine from off ebay about a month ago been playing around with it for the past week or so.. Here are my benchmarks for the DDR4 version: AnTuTu Benchmark v8.3.2 (55,732) Geekbench v4 (773) single core (1392) multicore.... 135mbps read 83mbps write.... As far as netflix streaming I don't use it.. I use Kodi so couldn't test that but KZbin streams 4k no problem however this was advertised as a 8k android tv box and I have no way of testing to see if that works no 8k monitor... but according to these benchmarks my DDR4 Version of the X99 Max Plus would put it on your charts between #16 and #17? and just wanted to say thank you for all the awesome content you create you've actually helped me on several occasions when it came to buying my android tv boxes the t95q & Topsion TP01... So again thank you very much for all you do for the android tv box hobby!!! I paid $64 for mine off ebay, I think it was worth it because the product was located in Texas right here in America worth not waiting shipment from Hong Kong and was listed for only $61 on Aliexpress so I didn't mind spending the extra $3!!!

[@zithbeliever]

Thanks for the review always nice to see good looking tv box with designs, and especially if it works well with Miracast, now that there is a lockdown tv boxes can also help forget the stress and the boredom and maybe consumes less power than a console.

[@ChigzTech]

Totally agree

Cool looking box. For a Secondary box might be decent option. For Primary TV I uses the Nvidia Shield TV (Non Pro Version) because it simply the best solution for real Streaming.

I agree.

Hello, Chigz; Thank you for all you do. I think you should do a video about the best way to set up an Android TV box. I know I find it confusing. Have a GREAT day, Neighbor!

[@ChigzTech]

Well look into it, thanks.

[@gfantom7]

Nice review Chigz Tech , thank you . I have one question , is this box identical to X88 pro X3 ,the one you reviewed the other day because I am a bit confused .What is the difference ,except the remote control they use of course (Lol) ?

[@ChigzTech]

They are the same, specs wise. However, performance is only slightly better in the X88 model. Probably due to a faster internal storage. And yet X88 is cheaper.

[@gfantom7]

@@ChigzTech I think your reply is crucial to someone that is interested of buying one of these two products ,if I am allowed to guess ,probably a mecool fan. Again nice review , as always ,thank you .

Go for S922 its much more powerful and my fav S922 box is MAGICSEE N6 PLUS as it has 128GB storage and its cheaper then the others on my list. www.chigztech.com/charts.html
