hey what's up guys
Chigz here from Chigz tech reviews and
today I've got my hands on another brand
new Android TV box so stay tuned for the
review so this is the MINIX neo u9h
android TV box so we are going to be
doing a quick unboxing followed by a few
tests video tests full HD and 4k videos
a few android games and testing cody
performance and then finishing off with
a benchmark in Wi-Fi test so let's begin
with the specs I'll put the specs on the
screen so you guys can have a quick read
so this box has the s9 one - octa-core
processor 2 gigabytes of ddr3 RAM and 16
gigabytes of internal storage you're
welcome to pause the video to read the
detailed specs we've also got two
remotes we're going to be looking at so
this is the Neo a2 light it's a wireless
air Mouse and this one here is the
latest neo a3 a mouse it's got a
built-in microphone for voice support so
you have to do voice searches so we're
going to be testing out both of these
remotes to see how well they work with
the unite
so let's get the Box open and see what
it looks like
very nice packaging it's got all the
main points and specs written right here
and but it looks so cool in black and
white let's proceed with the unboxing
so this is everything you get in the box
you've got a user manual here a Wi-Fi
antenna a USB OTG cable a UK adapter
you've got a micro USB cable here and a
HDMI cable and the actual remote control
that comes with the box so quite a
simple remote control quite small and
we'll see how well it performs and last
but not least the Neo u9h wow that is
quality I'm straight aways caught my eye
the design is amazing so you've got this
black matte finish on the top and
they've engraved they've actually
engraved the logo inside there so that's
pretty unique I like that okay
very simplistic design there's nothing
else more to it but it looks nice so
let's go through all the ports so at the
front you've just got the infrared
sensor and a light there if we keep
going around you've got a physical power
button there three USB ports you've got
a micro SD card slot there a Kensington
lock okay that's quite unique I haven't
seen it Kensington lock on android TV
box yet down here you've got an OTG USB
port so what you can do with that is you
can plug this wire in and that will give
you another full USB port to use so
effectively you can have four USB ports
okay if we keep going you've got a
headphone jack a separate microphone
port HDMI port you got your optical out
for your audio and network LAN port your
power socket I just want to come back to
here you've got a separate microphone
port that's very unique I have not seen
that on Android TV box before so I'm
quite impressed with that so let's keep
going so you've got the Wi-Fi antenna
screw there and that's it we're back to
the front this is what the bottom of the
unit looks like you've got a cool
Android logo but I'd like to tell you
it's actually engraved as our so a very
cool looking Android TV box just to
compare the size of this box I'd like to
bring in the TX
by Pro the tx5 Pro is one of the
smallest Android TV box available and
just to give you guys an idea of the
size of the MINIX if I just put it
against so as you can see straight away
the MINIX is a lot bigger at the end of
the day the MINIX has a lot in it you've
got three USB ports an OTG port
Kensington lock separate mic and it's
also licensed to support Dolby audio I'm
actually quite excited to get my hands
on this box I've been wanting to get
this for a while and I look forward to
see how this performs so that was the
unboxing before I hook this up
I'd like to unbox the remotes as well so
before we proceed I want to quickly
unbox both of these remote controls
because I'm going to be testing these as
well okay so I just unbox the remotes
these remotes are available separately
from the box that this one is the a2
light and this is the Neo a3 they look
exactly the same the difference between
them is this one the a3 supports voice
support so you can see the mic there and
there's no mic on this one so that is
the main difference so they both have
full QWERTY keyboards and they both have
built-in gyroscope so you can use them
as air Mouse's the difference really is
this one supports voice and they both
work with wireless USB dongles I'd be
trying both of these out on the box and
we're going to see how well they work so
I'm just going to screw the Wi-Fi
antenna on so let's connect this to my
TV and find out how well it performs so
this is the home screen for the u9h I'll
quickly run you through it first I
couldn't you see on the left is your
media player and when you click it all
the media players you have relating to
video playing and will show up and you
can add more as well with the plus sign
and you can just add them okay the next
icon is a Kodi icon got your music there
you've got your game section there okay
over here you've got the web browser the
next icon is for online streaming the
next icon you have is screen mirroring
so it's miracast you've got DLNA
you've got airplay as well and I'll be
testing that out in a bit to see how
well it works then you have your social
category and you can pull your social
apps and their Twitter Facebook etc so
you've got settings there at the bottom
you have the option to add all your
favorites and that you use regularly you
can add or remove any from the bottom
there okay on the far right you've got
file manager all app drawer the Google
Play Store and you've even got task
killer
I haven't installed any of my apps yet
so let's go to the app drawer this is
what you get as standard in this Android
TV box so these are all the standard
apps you get I haven't installed
anything yet but I will be soon
so this box actually comes with two home
screens you've got this and then the
other one is if we go to settings so the
home screen I just showed you was the
MINIX metro now I'll go to launcher 3
and press home and this is what launcher
3 looks like so this one screen now is
basically a full version of Android
marshmallow 6 you get the full desktop
experience so you've got the app drawer
there it loads up all the apps and it's
pretty straightforward so at least you
have a choice of the two you also have
the option to go to the Play Store and
install any other homescreen that you
prefer from there ok so the first thing
I like to test on this box is airplay
mirroring so with this box you're able
to do miracast and airplay you can also
do DLNA so to activate an airplay for
iOS devices go to air pin and open it
and that's it and it will say at the
bottom a TV connected which i've already
done so then after that you can just
come out of it and then you get your
iPhone or your iPad ok and then you just
scroll up click on airplay a TV 1:07 so
click on that and your screen will
immediately mirror and that's it you are
now screen mirroring
and it works really well let's try
playing something if I open up the
YouTube alright so if I just played this
trailer and put it on landscape mode you
will see the trailer play
so this is my iPhone 7 and I'm on iOS 10
and as you guys just saw AirPlay
Mirroring works perfect so now I'm going
to be playing a couple of 4k clips from
my USB Drive ok so these are the puzzle
my mum is sick I'm just going to play
anything here
so the next thing I'm going to be
testing is online streaming so let's
open up Cody okay Simon Cody and I'm
just going to play a trailer over there
it's down sir
she's right my child says there's this
one I like okay so let's try the night
TV to the side we'll get one and what
stay with it later hotels.com
from our home in New Orleans
just try something else okay just going
to play some YouTube so that was YouTube
okay so let's move on now to some gaming
first game I like to try out is we are
racing three
we are now testing the Wi-Fi speed so
this box has achieved a 36 megabit
download speed and a nine megabit upload
speed
beginning antutu benchmark test now so
there you have it guys that neo u9h has
achieved an amazing score of forty two
thousand five hundred and seventy three
so this is my top benchmark performance
chart higher the score better the
overall performance so these are all the
TV boxes that I have reviewed recently
so the MINIX u9h has shot straight to
number two with an amazing score of
forty two thousand five hundred and
seventy three so it would be very
interesting to see which android TV box
i review next and what overall score it
will get so stay tuned for that so there
you have it guys that was the MINIX neo
u9h so this is without a doubt a very
well-made and top-quality
android TV box MINIX has really thought
about giving us an overall best
experience from an android TV box so
this box handled 4k movies videos live
TV and full 3d games amazingly well this
also achieved a very high benchmark
score and it's now currently the second
best performing TV box on my chart so I
also need to summarize the remote
controls the standard remote that you
get in this box is actually quite good
it's very responsive but what I like
about it is it fits in the hands
perfectly you can you can navigate
around volume control and you've got all
the necessary settings menu and home
button that you need now coming to these
these are optional extras that you can
buy separately this one here is the Neo
a2 light and this one is the Neo a3 okay
they both work exactly the same
everything the functions are
responsiveness everything works the same
the only difference that I seen is this
one here the a3 supports voice controls
so you can you can search and control
the Android TV box and control many
functions with just your voice
so you click on the mic press the mic
button on the remote and now you can
speak antutu benchmark test there you go
you can install search for apps with
your voice it works really good it's
quite good and it's quite accurate
that's what I like about it I really
enjoy
on this remote because when you turn it
around you've got these kind of grip set
this is also the battery compartment and
you can store the dongle inside that on
one side and they only take two triple A
batteries and they do last a very long
time so what I'll do is I put the links
in the description for all of these
products including the box and the
remotes so you guys can check it out and
if you like it you can of course go
ahead and purchase one for yourself I
will also put the links for this
controller this is the G 600 controller
this is what I use to play all of the
games in this video it's very useful and
it feels great to play with please don't
forget to Like and subscribe there's a
lot more coming your way I hope you guys
found this video useful thank you so
much for watching and I hope you all
have a brilliant day
