✔️Final thoughts
The A95X MAX II and is a great TV box in so many ways and yet there things about that could have been better. I like that they have upgraded to the Amlogic S905X3 CPU, and that they have included the SATA expandable storage features that you don't usually get on a TV box. It streams movies and TV shows quite well, and it has excellent 4K video playback. It has excellent Wi-Fi reception on both Wi-Fi bands and it has a gigabit LAN port.
What could have been done better, is that the could of used in a better cooling by including an internal cooling fan which would have allowed them to clock the CPU 1.9 GHz resulting in much better if you performance. They also need to release some former updates to fix all the bugs in the system.

The big issue is the resolution. My old box got a really sharp picture compared to this one. It's something that you would never notice if you havn't had a high end box to compare it to. it's a great box compared to others i used. I decided to save it as a spare in case my old one stopped working. The only thing wrong with my old box is it gets 6.0 os and some apps stopped working like the Facebook app and the messenger . I have to use a browser to get on Facebook.

Good review Nick.....Do you ever contact these manufacturer and ask them to fix issues?

@tvboxstop 3 года назад

Shadily only manufacturers I have direct contact with are Mecool, Ugoos, Pendoo, Zoomtak, Zidoo, Video strong, and Sunvell. Now what happen is that different "brands" are made in sometimes made in a particular factory. The brands themselves don't own these factories which makes it difficult figure out which factory actually makes it. The retailers are sometimes clueless as they deal with the brand owners. The brand owners are tight lipped on who their manufacturers are.

I don't understand, this box is being advertised as hosting ddr4 ram, yet inside it is apparently ddr3 ram... Since your review, have things been fixed with the major issues you've encountered ? Best of luck for your channel.

@tvboxstop 3 года назад

I always leave room for that correction, because I have seen it happen before. Notice how sometimes in the product description you don't get the RAM type as if fear of listing that it's DDR3 will result in low sales. I don't do much teardowns because sometimes I see the boxes after review, so as to maintain it's value. However, If you opens it and verifies it's RAM type then I have no problem correcting my description details, once they are accurate.

I hope you can stop me from pulling my hair out!

Usually, I would use the "map network drive" function in Windows 10 and enter the IP address of the box, then I'm prompted for a username and password to complete the connection. On my Popcorn this was a doddle, but on my A95X I can't seem to be able to find what the default username/password is for the device. Can someone point me in the right direction, please? Note: this is my first time ever using an Android based streamer so I may be doing things completely wrong.

Hi viewer I appreciated the support. However this video was created since 2021 and believe me A95X have not provided any firmware updates since the release of this video to fix any of these issues. Your best chance might be to find a custom firmware. Your best chance at finding a solution would be to ask this guy on this form forum.atvxperience.com/viewforum.php?f=35. He left to attend the University and I don't know if he still updates his forum. But he was the one who created the first custom ROM for the previous A95X max model.
