Drop the mic !!! This is the best TV Box for the year hands down. You wanted the best TV box to buy? Well this is it. CPU 2.2GHz / Root Switch / Dolby TrueHD / Wi-Fi 6 and ton of new features never seen before. eg. Custom Multitasking settings?? Who provides that! Ugoos does. They are the best. OK LInux UPDATE Armbian 20_10 focal works with the Meson Ugoos AM6 Plus DTB. However you still need to use a USB Wi-Fi dongle. LAN works fine.
@@jimakos75 No, not really. It lacks DRM for all major apps so no 4k HDR or high end audio. In addition, I don't care about apps designed for a tablet. I don't need the full play store. Although, if needed you can sideload any app including the full play store. However, this box can't bypass DRM for 4k HDR for the major apps. Essentially it only good for Kodi and there are plenty of boxes that would work just fine for a third of the cost
And the prize goes to Ugoos. Congratulations for this box. I already bought mine and i'm really loving it. Now i have Ugoos AM6B Plus and Mecool KM6 Deluxe :)
Excellent review Nick. Interesting to see they have continued with Android 9. As I have stated previously, there must be performance issues with 10 & 11.
Nick, great review as ususal. Do you know if this new firmware (specially some of the new features) will become available on the older models like AM6 Pro as well?
With Ugoos it's very possible because they create "Family firmwares" that cover a range of models. However, as a marketing strategy they my not. I don't know for sure.
Omg .ugoos has done it again.. No words.. Apart from digital rights . wouldn't mine having a better remote.but I am nitpicking.lol. This one blows my mind great job . Awesome Nick..😁😁😁👍👍👍
Hey, I am the maintainer of Manjaro Arm Ugoos AM6 Plus, AM6B is new device and hence no wifi. I will follow up with ugoos tomorrow. Thanks for trying Manjaro ARM. Please contact me before testing I can help you with the support.
Great review Nick. I have a couple of questions. Is HDR always on or is there an Auto Detect feature? With respect to Alternative Launchers, will the Wolf Launcher work on this TV box? Thanks.
A good review, I like your review, keep it up. I need your advice, I want to buy tv box but I don't know which to choose between UGOOS AM6B PLUS and A95X MAX PLUS. Please I need your help, thanks
No he visto ese firmware SlimBox ATV para esta caja. Y aun así, ¿de qué sirve un formulario de ATV si no otorga a Google widevine el nivel 1 para que la aplicación MOD de netflix pueda funcionar?
@@tvboxstop si , en mi caso es muy practico , ... porq uso mando a distancia... ademas estéticamente no tiene comparación ... en mi caso personal. no veo prudente tener q usar un ratón de PC para la tv box ,,,, ( es una opinión personal )
@@tvboxstop why for are those antennas? can it work without them? if are for wifi, my box will be only 20cm from router. maximum strenght of signal. now i have beelink GT1 without any antennas.. why they put antennas on this box? it have excellent cooling pad on chipset, everything is ok, somewhere i wrote case is from aluminium, but it is plastic, right?
From my personal knowledge and experience Dolby vision never works with apps that are not Google certified, and I believe the same will apply for the tivimate apk. I could be wrong but I have other premium APK is that provide streams of 4K HDR with Dolby Atmos, and I would never see any of the features activating on my TV from these APKs. The only time I get these features activating, is when I either play a self hosted video file and I will usually get HDR, or I play Netflix well I would get Dolby Atmos and Dolby vision.
Hi Manu Yes it will detect read and write data to it. However don't try to convert to shared internal storage it may fail. The largest drive I have is a 4TB HDD that plugged into one of it's USB 3.0 ports and it works.
The AM6B-Plus is more powerful hardware for gaming, and the AM7 is more recent in hardware and firmware but not as powerful. I am doing an up date video on the AM7 tonight after their big update.
There should be no problems with that TV. But I have seen boxes not work on certain TV's due to lack of coding. SO it could be that Vizio was not coded into that box you are using.
I am low tech, with 1080P TVs and an old Dolby Digital Surround sound Home Theater. What is the best low buck Android Box out there? Just streams by YT, Amazon Prime, Stremio.
Hi Seth there A95X F3 air or the upgraded model the X3 Pro S905X3. I am currently doing the X4 Pro S905X4 but due to it's firmware the A95X F3 air or the X3 pro would be right for you pricewise and features.
Serious question - If all someone is looking to do is stream IPTV, will this work any better than a 4K fire stick? Bottom line, is it worth the extra money? As always, thanks for your thorough reviews!
The ease at which you can do it is much better on this box than on a fire-stick. Not to mention you have faster processing power, more RAM DDR4 that improves performance and promotes less buffering.
4k fire stick could not handle fhd iptv ..for me and by experiance ( i tested fire tv stick / mibox / h96..) the best is mecool km2 ( good stability in wifi and processor is good )
greeting Great review. I have a question. I have a samsung 55ru8000 TV and it supports judder 24. Does that mean that I can take an android box that does not support AFRd and that my Kodi will work nicely without jerking ??
I am not sure about that only to say this box has an auto resolution switch. Maybe that will solve your issue. You best chance is with a Ugoos box for the most Advance display features.
I have the Am6b plus that you mentioned,but no where is my geekbench 5 test in the range that you said. My Single core score was 293 and multi core was 971. I ran the test in non root Mode.do i have to do something Else to achive the scores you got? Also i am running firmware Version 0.4.2
A little tip close all apps running in the background. I use Geekbench 4, not Geekbench 5. Version 5 is more intensive developed for 64 bit systems and gives you a lower score.
@@tvboxstop ok I will Look for an older Version of geek bench and do a new test, I was starting to think that I was Sold a box with false specs, thats why i was so concern after watching your Videos and your results were like night and day.Box works great though no problems and no gliching, I have a neo u22-xj Minix also,but it gliches frequently with the 006A firmware
I got thé ugoos AM6 plus. As we Can see in your review, dolby Vision IS corrupted with VLC. It IS still a pain in the ass to use media player to both display dolby vision & true HD atmos ( movies have to be in m2ts format) . MP4 format cant support DV & lossless audio ( dts-hd or dolby true HD)
Bob I assume you've tried the Kodi DV build on Android? This works for DV in MKV for me (a bit unstable sometimes) but not with lossless audio bitstream. I get white noise and cutting out of the audio when I try to use it. Neither Kodi IEC packer or Android IEC packer work. Is that your experience? In CoreElec I can get lossless audio including Atmos passthrough but no DV :(
@@tvboxstop I cannot get lossless audio to play back in Kodi Android without it cutting out every 2 seconds with white noise. Both RAW and IEC packer same problem. Only Coreelec works for lossless audio and Kodi on this box for me
Compared to the Nvidia Shield the shield it better in hardware and performance and Google certified. However for mobile Android OS, root access, and full Google playstore the AM6 is better.
Hello, can you help me? I just buy 3 different tvbox and none of them works for me, i have a crt tv and i own the a95x, and works fine at 480i resolution, but i need a new one thar works with hbomax and with 480i, can you recommend me a device?
So that means you are using the AV port on those boxes. Well most of them don't work to output video mostly audio. What you need to do is use an HDMI to RCA adapter and your issues are over. It cost just $13 on Amazon. search for "HDMI to RCA adapter" the first Amazon choice square box will be good.
Can run war robots without any problems?... I have the beelink gt king and from the first day it was a disappointment ... it does not run any heavy games
Yo bro now you make me regret not playing this game in the video. War Robots runs very smooth and in great graphics quality. I didn't know that you can now play War Robots with mouse and keyboard. this game now rocks.
CoreELEC 19.2 to work with built in Wifi you have to use AM6 dtb from previous version 9.2.7. You need not have to use external wifi adapter. Thanks for the great review...
@@tvboxstopJust used minix dtb as you said, but I am not getting any "audio output device" other than bluetooth in System > Audio settings, same problem with old dtb also. Please help
hi guys, can i ask did you get coreelec to boot using the Ugoos dualboot rom? or did you just use the normal coreele USB thumb drive way? also what ugoos firmware version did your box have?
No it can't outperform the Nvidia Shield Pro hardware benchmarks, but if you want the best box running on the full mobile version of Android then this is it.
Hi, anyone having problems with this unit. Everytime I change quality on RU-vid 480 to 1080 the screen always change to 4:3. I try to change the display still not getting any luck. If anyone know how to set the display please share . Thank you
Yes I just tried it and using the Android TV version it jumps to the home screen. I uninstalled that version and installed the version on the play store which is the mobile version that can now play in 4K HDR and it works perfectly without issues.
@@tvboxstop thank you for your response but I am using Android RU-vid and still doing the same. When ads on the screen displaying with 4:3 and after that the main video running with 16:9 480 but when I change to 1080 and fast forward, it change to 4:3. And the other thing when I turn off the box and turn on again, it will change the display. I think there is bug / problem with the setting display with RU-vid app
С джойстиками сложно работать. Я использую геймпад PXN 9607x. Но их так много. Вам также придется использовать раскладку клавиш геймпада для большинства игр с сенсорным экраном.
Without Android 10 or 11 this already makes this box obsolete in my opinion. At that price it should match up to Nvidea Shield... not agreeing with your point on this box. Sorry.
Ugoos almost never upgrades to the latest Android version. The update all the time improving their current firmware but not the next Android version. Amlogic S922X I believe was not designed for Android 11 that's why they launched the AM7 plus running on the Amlogic S905X4 that is designed for Android 11. It's like PC hardware certain hardware is designed for certain version of Windows.
@@tvboxstop Yes it Doe's, there are 4 USB ports on this box, if this box is classed as "upgraded", surely by Any measure of common sense the ports should have been upgraded to ALL USB 3.0 or at the very least split to 2 usb 2.0 and 2 usb 3.0 for user convenience. It is 2021 after all.
@@tvboxstop I would say they haven't created a suitably upgraded box to better serve user's/ consumer's, i own and enjoy an am6 box (previous version) it has 1 usb 3.0 port, so as a consumer who is being asked to pay quite a large price for this "upgrade" it should have more usb 3.0 ports (at least 2)
$200 for an Android box that has 4 gigabytes of ram and 32 gigabytes of storage, you can get a Samsung Galaxy S10 Refurbished version for the same price with much better specs and you will have Samsung Dex, the best interface for Android.
