What's up guys Chigz here from Chigz Tech reviews.
Today I've got my hands on the Entmate 8 Android TV box.
Now this box is running the S905X2 Quad-core CPU
with 4GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage you have dual band
Wi-Fi AC with the 2 x 2 MIMO so this has dual antennas and dual band Wi-Fi you've
got a Gigabit LAN Bluetooth version 4 you've got full Android 8.1 Oreo
supports 4k HDR at 60 frames per second with HDMI version 2.0 and 5.1 surround
sound now the box itself surprisingly enough is made completely from metal the
front sides and top and is finished in black you've got an an iminium trim
going all the way around and I have to say the build quality does look pretty
top-notch now you got the intimate logo on the top and LED display on the front
on the side we have a micro SD card slot a full size USB 2 and a full size USB 3
on the back we have a AV port Gigabit LAN HDMI out optical art power socket
and an external Wi-Fi antenna if we keep going there is nothing on this side and
that brings us back to the front and this is what the bottom of the box looks
like now inside the box you will find a user manual an HDMI cable UK power
adapter and I'll tell you the voltage it's DC 5 volts 2 a now this does come
with a standard remote control there's no voice search functions it's a
standard remote but you have the ability to control your television and this is
powered by two triple A batteries not only that this package also comes with
an air voice remote it's quite popular remote control powered by two triple A
batteries so there's no Bluetooth this functions with a wireless USB dongle and
this one does support voice search functions and with that being said let's
go ahead and get this all hooked up to my TV and capture card and find out how
good it really is I'll be right back so first of all I run a boot up speed test
and this TV box took exactly 31 Ekans to fully load the homescreen from
a cold start and here is the home screen for this TV box we have a simple layout
here now in the top left hand corner you have your voice search functions and on
the right you have information for your Wi-Fi Bluetooth and your local time now
the first row of icons you see a plus sign under collections now over here you
can go ahead and add your favorite apps just below that you will see all the
apps installed on this box as standard now right at the bottom we have some
shortcuts for main system settings your Wi-Fi information system app drawer and
your droid settings now let's quickly head over to the main settings and check
out our system storage information now this box has 32 gigs of internal storage
from which we have 25 gigs for you to use and if we have a quick looking about
you will see that we are running android version 8.1 oreo now we're gonna have a
quick look at droid settings now in this section you will see a number of
advanced options such as display resolution hdmi cec controls playback
settings audio output and this one does support DTS and 5.1 surround sound you
also have power key definition followed by Bluetooth settings you also got a
picture section where you can adjust the picture quality for your videos and
finally you have more settings at the bottom which will take you to the full
tablet style Android settings page now let's go ahead and check out the system
app drawer here are all the apps installed on this box as standard I have
not installed anything yet and you do have quite a few apps to get you started
and of course the full version of the Google Play Store now the first thing I
want to test is screen mirroring now you do have air screen installed as standard
and you can download air screen as a free app from the Play Store on any of
these type of TV boxes so I was able to successfully screen mirror my iPhone
running iOS 12 and as you can see the screen mirroring experience was seamless
there was no lag whatsoever it was a great experience so now I'm going to
play some 4k video samples from a USB Drive and I will be doing this from the
included Kady player which is basically the Kodi Media Player so let's go ahead
and play the first video
so as expected 4k at 60 frames per second plays ultra smooth now let's move
on to the YouTube performance test and we can stream a maximum of 4k on YouTube
we are everyone and we are invisible woke up with a heavy case of amnesia in
the middle of nowhere the only clue to my past is Harry's name and an address
inside you built all this oh my this time but I am the moving on now to a
quick gaming test and we are gonna be playing asphalt 8 airborne
for you advanced users DRM info shows Google Widevine level three and here is
cpu-z where you can check out the clock speeds
and you can see it's the malli g3 1 and this box does come routed as standard
now in the Wi-Fi speed test we got download speeds of 66 megabits per
second and upload speeds of 18 megabits per second and the top speeds we
currently get in this office is between 66 to 70 megabits per second so that
brings us to our benchmarks beginning with Geekbench multi score of 21 75 and
in the antutu benchmark test we got a total score of 58 K so let's see how
this compares to the others so here is my top android TV box chart of 2019
showing you the latest TV boxes and seeing how they compare with each other
and as you can see the new end mate 8 has taken position 15 on this chart with
a rating of eight point six out of ten now you can see the full versions of all
my charts online at chick's tech comm and read them at your leisure so there
you have it guys that was the new int mate 8 so here are my thoughts on this
TV box you have a great metal build quality supports smooth 4k 60 playback
from USB drives and on YouTube now the box also supports USB 3 Bluetooth and
has a Gigabit LAN port with very good Wi-Fi speeds to go with it performance
is also quite good with the s90 5 X 2 chip combined with android version 8.1
Orio however there is no miracast for android no drop down status menu and you
are limited to 480p on Netflix and Amazon Prime video due to lack of HD
licensing bottom line for the price this is still a pretty decent box offering
generally a good performance gaming is also quite good
and the box does not overheat as you do have quite a decent build quality and
with that being said I will leave the links in the description in case you
want to check this box out that's all for this video thank you so much for
watching and I hope you all have a brilliant day see you in the next one
