hey whats up guys Chigz here from
Chigz tech reviews and today i'll be
reviewing a brand new 2017 android TV
box so this is the Dolamee D9 4k android
TV box so this android TV box has an
octa-core cpu which means it's running
on eight cores so i'll put the specs up
on the screen for your convenience so
you can have a quick read so the cpu is
a tes 912 cortex a53 octa core 2
gigahertz processor running on 64 bits
the GPU is a Molly 750 megahertz the RAM
we've got one point five gigabytes of
ddr3 the ROM is 8gb emmc the android OS
is android version 6 marshmallow it's
got a microSD card slot the Wi-Fi
supports BGN at 2.4 gigahertz so let's
get this box open and see what it looks
like so that's everything in the box you
got your user manual hdmi cable UK
charger remote control so quick look at
the remote control you can see it's a
full-featured remote control you've even
got a cody button which is great ok and
the android TV box itself and serve a
look so there we have it so the top is
like a matte finish with a shiny silver
logo de la mia looks quite cool and
you've got the d9 logo at the top and
the edges are all shiny black reflective
so let's have a quick look at the ports
so we've got power your optical
connection spdif AV connection as your
land port hdmi and you've got two USB
ports ok on and on this side you've got
a full size SD card slot and that is all
the ports on the bond you've got the
vents and you got the branding
as well dilemma d9 so this is the new
generation 2017 TV boxes so I'm quite
excited to test this one out and as this
is the first octa-core TV box I'm going
to be testing so we'll see how it
performs later so I'm going to now test
out the functionality of this box I'm
gonna hook us up to my TV and show you
guys how it performs so this is the
brand new system menu for dilemma d9
I've never seen this system menu before
it looks pretty good so let me just take
you through some of these apps i have
installed my favorite apps on here
already so if i run you through it the
first screen at the bottom so these are
shortcuts for your home page so I've got
Cody snows emulate our show box movie
player Netflix settings browser YouTube
Google Play Store and easy clean now
when you move to your right these are
your favorites so I've chosen all these
apps to be here under my favorites now i
show you where the main aptril is and i
do like this look a lot it's completely
customizable and i'll show you how to do
that as well so if you keep it left this
is all your apps in alphabetical order
starting with a in the start and if you
go all the way to the end you will see
it ends with youtube so it's in
alphabetical order if I wanted to bring
something on to the home screen on to
the favorite page all you do is hover
over it press ok and then you'll have
the option to move to home put it into
the favorites section or uninstall so
it's easy as that and once you moved
your app to your home page so let's go
to the home page for example I want to
move netflix to the left hold it down on
ok you have the option to run remove
left or right so i'll move it to the
left and as you can see i can move the
icon to the left I'll put it back to the
right and then you press back so it's
completely customizable which is great
same with your favorites we're going to
move something around you can just go
left right etc so the first time I saw
this skin i thought i'm going to be
endlessly scrolling up to get to youtube
for example right at the back but no you
can customize you can put your shortcuts
and your favorites where you need them
and for convenience so
here's my ipad i'm going to try screen
mirroring with my bud so if i scroll up
from the bottom if i click on AirPlay
Mirroring click on airplay player media
center and you can see in the background
it's worked fine try to show you the
best of it I can you can see airplay is
working absolutely fine on iOS 10 as
this ipad is running iOS 10 if I keep it
flat just to show you it's working great
for open a browser rather and there you
go
I'm doing airplay with my ipad to this
to the dilemma d9 and it's working great
and my ipad is on the latest iOS 10
working great ok so the first up I want
to check out is Cody so before i do that
i just want to show you guys the
original remote is great it works great
is responsive i've used this remote
before on other android TV boxes so I'm
very familiar with it but this is my
favorite when i turn on android TV box i
put the USB dongle in and i use this ok
you got mouse control and you can use
the directional buttons as well you've
got a full qwerty keyboard and you've
got multi media controls play pause
rewind etc i love this product I don't
use Android TV boxes without this remote
if you do like this remote I'll put the
link in the description i've reviewed
this before and you can have a look at
that alright so back to this dilemma d 9
i'm going to open up Kody first i've
installed all my favorite apps on here
and it's going to show you guys what
this can do so Cody the case as you can
see I've opened up Cody this build is
the chicks all-in-one build this is my
own build so if you like the look of
this build I would put the links in the
description so you guys can have a look
at this as well let's test out this
android TV box so to begin with I want
to test out some sort of 4k video so if
I go to movies and if I scroll down real
movies because they also do 4k all of
these movies are 4k if I just play
anyone just to give you guys a demo
there you go we're playing this in 4k
just to show you that this is for k i'll
go to I for information and you can see
at the top it says 4k alright so if i
just come out of this now it plays 4k
very well no problem whatsoever no
buffering problems and it just played
smooth ok so now i want to quickly try
out some sort of live TV live streaming
yeah no problems there works great the
object of court is definitely making a
difference in performance for watching
videos online etc okay I'm going to quit
this ok so we've tried Cody and it works
great next up I like to try these
showbox showbox is a very good app
allows you to watch latest movies and TV
shows ok i'll just play anything to
should give you guys a demo and there
you go I just skip it a bit because
perfect so there you go i'm streaming on
show box and it's working absolutely
fine so i'm going to come out of this
now the next step i like to test is
youtube ok so this is youtube these are
my videos i'll just play anything see
how well it plays works great yeah
youtube works great it's fast everything
loads perfectly i can press back and I
can continue browsing youtube and
searching while the videos at the bottom
so yeah youtube works great too ok so
now i'm going to test out BBC iPlayer
just going to load up anything
and there you go so everything I've
tried on this box with video streaming
has worked really well okay next test is
the movies on the USB disk test so I've
got my USB Drive I've got a few demo
movies and clips and stuff on here i'm
going to plug this in and see how well
it plays okay so i plug the drive in so
now I've got movie play up open it up
and that will give me the option to go
to my disc which is untitled go to
movies these are the clips i want to
test so the first test is an ultra HD 4k
football match as you can see it looks
great there was no buffering loading or
anything like that so then that handles
really well so that's a 4k clip it's
come out of it I'm going to quickly load
up so this is a downloaded 720p movie
off the internet just going to quickly
load it to give you guys an idea if I
can skip it towards the middle okay
there you go looks great and the next
clip is going to be a full HD MKV clip
so this is just a full HD clip it's MKV
file and as you can see it's working
great and it handles everything I'm
going to come out of this now so as you
saw this box handles multiple different
formats such as MKV tes and I've tried
mp4 avi s and they all work really well
ok so now I'm going to be testing out
some games so the dilemma d9 does not
have bluetooth support so I can't use my
bluetooth controller with it the next
alternative which works is the xbox 360
controller so if I show you but mine you
can see that i'm able to access all the
menus with this controller alright so
let's start up super nintendo emulation
ok I've got the game on and I'm playing
with this controller can be tricky to
show you guys if I do it like that I
guess hopefully I don't die in the
yeah well awkward okay but yeah it works
great 360 controller is working great
with this console 360 controller is
working fine as you can see
so let's try out another game now the
next game i'm going to try it is dead
trigger 2 alright so we've got dead
trigger installed and we're trying it
out with this controller it's working
great so far nice try to get her in the
head ok so i just tested out snow
simulation and dead trigger 2 and it
works great with this xbox 360
controller guys so that was the dilemma
d9 4k android TV box i think this is a
really good box it doesn't have any
bluetooth built-in which means that i
could not use my bluetooth keyboard
headset or my game controllers but if
you don't care about bluetooth then this
is a very good box it is a streaming
beast is what i would call this box it
streams 4k videos very nicely without
any buffering any problems whatsoever as
i have tried many boxes i can definitely
tell you you can feel the speed the CPU
does make a difference that eight cause
really drives this box and all the apps
just open fast I'd like to quickly
compare this with the TX 5 pro because
this is one of the smaller tiny boxes
out there's just to give you an
indication of size of how big the d9 is
so the d9 is a bit bigger then the TX 5t
x5 is tiny so you can see it gives you
an idea of how big the d9 is ok
so what I'll do is I put the links in
the description so you can check this
item up and if you like it you can go
ahead and purchase one yourself I hope
you enjoyed the video and found it
useful thank you so much for watching
have a brilliant day
