hey what's up guys I'm Chigz and you
are watching Chigz Tech Reviews and
today I've got my hands on the latest
octa-core android 7.1 no got TV box by
me code so this is the Miku m8 s pro
octa-core Android TV box running Android
7.1 nougat so this is the first Android
7.1 box I'm going to be reviewing so as
usual I'll be running a series of
real-time tests to find out how well
this box performs 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 has the s9 one - octa-core cpu
running at two gigahertz the GPU is a
Mali 820 running at 750 megahertz
you've got three gigs of ddr3 RAM 16
gigs of internal storage dual band Wi-Fi
supporting BGN and AC Bluetooth version
4.1 Android version 7.1 no gut this
supports Ultra HD 4k videos at 60 frames
per second supports HDR 10 and hate LG
HDR so this is everything you gain the
box you've got an instruction manual a
power adapter HDMI cable a remote
control we've seen this remote control
before with other Android TV boxes it's
a very responsive remote control and
you're able to control your television
as well and you've got the instructions
on the back and last but not least the
m8 s pro so this is it the m8 s pro a
really nice design I must say that is
quite small in size it's quite tiny
actually you've got this lovely design
here
mas pro so let's have a look at the
ports on the front you've got vents more
vents to the left and on the back you've
got and on the back you've got an AV
port a LAN port HDMI and your power
socket and if we keep going you've got
two USB ports and a micro SD card slot
and now we're back to the front of the
unit this is how it looks at the bottom
so as usual I want to give you guys an
idea of the size of this unit this is
actually tiny so I'm going to bring in
the TX 5
this is one of the smallest Android TV
boxes you can get and I always use this
one to compare with other units so if we
compare these you can see that the m8 s
Pro is actually smaller than the TX 5
Pro by a few millimeters only and
exactly same in thickness I hope that
gives you guys an idea of the size so
I'm going to hook this up to my TV and
we're going to find out how well the
Miku m8s Pro performs so I'll be right
back
you
so this is the home screen for the m8s
Pro this is a very familiar home screen
it's what we could use as their home
screen on all their boxes so on the top
row you're able to add your own shop
cards you just click the plus sign and
you add any app you like anyone's got at
the top at the bottom you have shortcuts
for TV Center which is Cody you got
Explorer file manager you've got the app
drawer settings and web now if we go to
all apps you're going to see everything
on the system so these are all the apps
currently installed on the system I
haven't installed anything yet so let me
show you one of the new features of
Android 7.1 if you click on settings you
will see the settings come out from the
side with a transparent background so
while we're in settings let's go and
have a look at the system storage so you
have 16 gigabytes of internal storage
but you have an available 11 gigs to
play with the time the day everything I
just automatically set itself after
connecting to Wi-Fi next thing I'd like
to do is actually test out AirPlay
Mirroring this comes with a very good
piece of software called air pin Pro
it's the paid version which is about 3
pounds 98 if you try and buy this from
the Google k store but this box comes
with it free of charge so when you open
this software up you'll be able to
enable airplay and DLNA and AirPlay
Mirroring
m in HD it's already activated is ticked
I can come out of it now and now what
I'm going to do is grab my iphone so now
I've got my iPhone it all you do is
scroll up on the iPhone click on airplay
mirroring click on a TV 1:04 now you'll
see that screen mirroring has worked on
my iPhone and you can see it works great
it works as it should and it's really
fast if I open up the settings I'm
scrolling so this is my iPhone success
on iOS 10 and as you can see screen
mirroring works superb on the MHS pro
just installed the latest version of
YouTube now I'm going to get rid of the
old version so to do that all you do is
click on the menu button on your remote
control it would bring up two options
click on uninstall and it will be gone
so this comes with tv-center which is
basically like Cody it's a media center
and everything works exactly the same
but if you prefer to have the latest
version of Cody you just install it and
you can have a new shortcut up there of
Cody 17.1 you cannot change any of these
larger icons at the bottom they stay the
same so even if you're uninstalled
tv-center you can't link it to the
official Cody so that will stay there
all right so if I just open up Cody you
will see that it's Cody 17.1 krypton so
what we're going to do now is we're
going to play a few 4k sample video
files off of a USB Drive and we're going
to play this in Kodi so here are my 4k
video samples that I used to test these
boxes out let's play the first one
so I just finished playing some 4k video
samples let's move on now
the next test I'm going to be doing is
playing full HD videos on YouTube so
let's open up YouTube so this is my new
bucket wireless keyboard you can change
the lights to three different colors
it's an absolute amazing keyboard you've
got navigational buttons shortcuts a
really nice mousepad multimedia
functions and a full QWERTY keyboard
I'll put the links for this in the link
description it's an amazing keyboard and
it will really enhance your experience
on your TV books ok so just I'm just
going to play one of my videos first
the maximum resolution you can play off
youtube videos is 1080p so let's go back
and play a video what's up guys Jiggs
there from chicks tech reviews and today
i've got my hands on a brand new 2017
budget android TV box so this is the Z
69 4k TV box six times you selected
wrong man next I love you you really
nice having more kids started
I'm a triple-a rated executive
protection agent Invisibles wanted
hitman in the world my job is to keep
you out of harm's way
so that was YouTube let's move on to
some live TV
beginning with BBC iPlayer
you
so the BBC iplayer notes quick and works
very well let's try out another one I
gotta pee again
I hydrated
you
19 degrees so fatty bright therefore the
Liverpool match in the Premier League
tomorrow so as you guys just saw in
those TV books well let's move on now to
the gaming test so I've got a whole load
of games installed on this already and
the first one we're going to be testing
is real racing 3 so this is the game
controller I use for all my Android TV
games this is the g600 controller I'll
put the links in the description box
below so you can check it out let's
continue with the game tests
so here are the results for the Wi-Fi
speed test the m8 s Pro to the top
download speed of twenty seven point six
two and upload speeds of nine point five
nine megabits per second
the NHS
has achieved a total benchmark score
thirty-nine thousand seven hundred and
twenty-eight so let's see how this
compares to the others so this is my top
benchmark performance chart where you
can compare all the Android TV boxes
that I have reviewed to date higher the
score better the overall performance
so the Miku m8s Pro has earned position
eight under the optical chart it's
achieved quite a respectful score of
thirty nine thousand seven hundred and
twenty eight it will be interesting to
see which TV box I review next and what
overall score it will achieve I'm still
waiting for a box that can match or beat
the Nvidia shield stay tuned and
subscribe for more reviews like this one
so that was my review for the Miku m8s
Pro this box certainly provides a great
all-round experience it handles 4k video
streaming live TV 3d games everything
worked really well with no lag
whatsoever I experienced no issues in
video streaming no buffering issues just
smooth HD video also with Android 7.1 no
god it looks and feels exactly the same
as Android version 6 marshmallow apart
from the slide-out settings menu there
is no other obvious change however if
you are looking for an octa-core TV box
this is definitely a good one to
consider so what I'll do is I'll put the
links in the description box below so
you guys can check it out and if you
like it you can of course go ahead and
purchase one for yourselves I hope you
enjoyed the video and found it useful
thank you so much for watching and I
hope you all have a brilliant day
