hey what's up guys Chigz here from
Chigz tech reviews and today I have
another brand new Android TV box I'm
going to be reviewing so this is the
Mecool BB 2 Pro Android TV box so we're
going to be doing a quick unboxing
followed by a few tests video tests full
HD and 4k videos a few android games
testing cody performance and finishing
off with a benchmark and Wi-Fi test so
let's begin with the specs I'll put the
specs up on the screen so you can have a
quick read so this has the s9 one -
octa-core cpu running at 2 gigahertz the
s9 one - is of course the 8 core CPU the
graphics chip is a Mali 821 at 750
megahertz and you have 3 gigabytes of
ddr4 Ram so ddr4 Ram is able to achieve
higher clock speeds and is faster than
ddr3 RAM you've got 16 gigabytes of emmc
internal storage you've got dual band
Wi-Fi supporting 2.4 gigahertz and 5
gigahertz BGN and AC okay you've got
Bluetooth version for Android version 6
marshmallow and supports Ultra HD 4k
videos at 60 frames per second and
supports HDR 10 Dolby vision that was a
specs this is the me called BB 2 pro so
this will be the most powerful Android
TV box that I've ever tested so this
does have the s9 1 to 8 core processor
but it also has 3 gigabytes of ddr4 Ram
so I definitely like to see how well
that performs so let's get the Box open
and see what it looks like
so this is everything you get in a box
you have a user manual HDMI cable a UK
power socket that's it so you've got
your UK power the remote control I am
quite familiar with this remote control
it's very good it's very responsive and
it's got it's a full-featured remote
control and you can even program your
television with these buttons at the top
and it tells you how to do so at the
back and this is the aerial that you're
going to plug into the Android TV box as
shown in the photo last but not least
the Android TV box itself wow that looks
cool doesn't it me cool I like it so
what you got is like a you've got a
shiny grey finish at the top it's
reflective and you've got a nice black
mica logo okay on the edges you've got
an aluminium effect all the way around
and it does look pretty cool it does
look nice so let's just screw the
antenna okay that's done so let's
quickly have a look at the ports
so on the backyard
Network the land port optical s/pdif
audio connection AV port HDMI port and
your power socket on the right hand side
you've got two USB ports and a micro SD
card slot and I'll sit at the front
you've got your LED light the logo BB 2
Pro and you've got a physical power bar
and this is what the bottom looks like
it looks like you got some vents there
and that is basically it in the hands it
feels like a very well-made box it does
feel very premium quality and it
definitely looks the part too I like
that you can swivel the aerial in any
direction so you can get the best Wi-Fi
connection possible so I'm going to hook
this up to my TV and give you guys a
full demonstration of what the me called
BB 2 pro can do so this is the meikle BB
2 Pro home screen it's totally different
completely brand new design so let's go
through it at the bottom over here
you've got TV Center so that's basically
a shortcut to Cody you get cody 17
installed as standard on this box but I
uninstalled Kodi 17 and I installed Kodi
16 because that's the one I prefer to
use at the moment so I've got cody 16 on
there and that's what the TV center
shortcut is the next one is Explorer if
I open it you'll see it's a file manager
basically okay let's go back app drawer
so that's all the apps that are on the
system so this TV box has quite a few
apps already installed on here as
standard but I went ahead and installed
a few more my favorite apps that I'm
going to be using to test this box today
next we've got settings which is fairly
straightforward
so there's settings and finally the last
box at the bottom is web so that's the
web browser okay so if I come out of
that so the remote control for the meek
all works amazingly well it's very
responsive it does the job great but I
have my own favorite I got this so this
is a full QWERTY keyboard touchpad with
multimedia buttons navigation oars
volume control and it's absolutely
amazing I love this keyboard and I use
this with all my
TV boxes I'll put the links in the
description in case you guys want to
check this keyboard out okay so the
first thing I like to test is AirPlay
Mirroring here's my iPad if I scroll up
click on AirPlay Mirroring you can see
it says airplay Media Center click on it
there you go airplay mirroring working
fine
browser
okay so this is an iPad air running the
latest iOS 10
as you can see airplay mirroring works
great with this Android TV box so the
next thing I like to do is test out 4k
and HD videos from the USB stick so I'm
going to plug this in and we're going to
test out some 4k clips
okay so I've just plugged in my USB
Drive here is my 4k HD sample video if I
just open that and play one of these
samples I'll play the first one on the
list let's see how well it plays so this
is a 4k Ultra HD clip by LG and as you
can see the video is playing amazingly
well crystal-clear video and very smooth
video playback okay so let's move on to
the next clip okay the next clip I got
is a football match so this is a 4k
