what's up guys I'm Chigz and you are watching Chigz Tech Reviews and today
I've got my hands on the Leelbox Q3 Octa-core Android TV box so as usual
we will begin with the quick unboxing followed by a series of tests testing 4k
videos HD streaming gaming and finishing off with the benchmark and 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 cpu running
at two gigahertz you've got the Mallee 820 running at 750
megahertz you've got two gigs of ddr3 RAM 16 gigs
of internal storage dual band Wi-Fi supporting BGN and AC Bluetooth version
for Android version 6 marshmallow supports Ultra HD 4k videos at 60 frames
per second so this is everything you get in the box beginning with the user
manual a very simple guide HDMI cable a UK power adapter and remote control this
is the full feature of our control and you're also able to program the remote
to control your TV I have used this before with other TV boxes and I can
tell you right now this is a very good and responsive TV remote.
last but not least the Leelbox Q3 I actually have never used a Leelbox product before
this is the first time so I'm quite excited to try the product this is their
top optical box so on the top of the unit you have the little box logo and
it's in a shiny silver and it looks really nice the actual unit is rounded
and all the bezels on the side are made from a reflective black so let's go
through all the ports on the front you have an LED light to keep going you've
got a full sized SD card here on the back of the unit you've got two USB
ports an HDMI port your Network land your AV port optical out and the power
socket if we keep going there's nothing on this side and we're back to the front
and this is how the bottom of the unit looks so just to give you an indication
of the size I'm going to bring in the TX 5 pro the little box is definitely
larger than the TX by Pro you can see few centimetres on each side
and it does feel a lot thicker as well yes as you can see so I hope that gives
you 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 Leelbox Q3 performs
you
so this is the home screen for the Leelbox Q3 as you can see it's quite
a nice basic clean look so you've got a big icon here for movie player' which is
basically just a media player to play your movie files you've got a
recommended section here Google Google Play Store clean memory daily up which
is a fitness app you've got web browser and my apps which is the app drawer now
let's first of all go to settings and go to storage so you've got 16 gigs of
storage and only 480 eight megabytes have been used let's go now to the app
drawer and see all the apps on the system so these are all the apps you get
standard I haven't installed anything yet these are your standard apps you can
install Kodi on this and to do that all you do is go to the Google Play Store
sign in as you normally would with your Google account go to the search bar and
type in Kodi okay and this is basically Kodi 17.3 I'll show you if you click
read more scroll down and you can see it says seven scroll down you can see it
says version 17 point three so yeah that's the latest version all you do is
click in stores
okay so now that Cody's installed go back to the home screen and you'll see
the Cody icon here so what we're going to do now is we're going to open up cody
and we're going to play some 4k video samples from there and we're going to
see how well this box handles the 4k videos so let's open up Cody so as you
can see this is Cody 17.3 the latest one it opened up quite quickly actually so
these are my 4k video samples I'm going to go ahead and play the first one
I don't know about this welcome aboard
remember faster you breathe faster you use up your air trust me once you're
down there you're not gonna want to come back that they can take your breath away

careful's mankind Diana there you have it guys I played a few 4k video samples
and I also played and I also played some 1080p video trailers as you saw the
little box q3 does play these video files very nice and smooth there was no
problems with buffering over here so let's move on now to the next test the
next test is the YouTube test so this is my new backlit 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 mouse pad
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 would really enhance
your experience on your TV box so let's play a trailer so YouTube supports a
maximum resolution of 1080p this is Michael bright have an executive
protection agent I've extracted my client clean up is required you might
want to call the bomb squad
take it the fire department to my talk I'm afraid stop
have a seat been a long day why why waste precious tanks when they can pick
us off from the air like fish in a barrel
there are 400,000 men on this Beach gave us many give one day you'll know them
all this is where we keep them beautiful who would me is only the fiercest among
us even could and that is not you dying so that was YouTube streaming let's move
on now to them gaming
we're going to start the gaming test the first game I like to test out 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
sorry there's no way to get up to the rapture pen until the new generator gets
unpacked and built you have to pick started with your son rod
I don't place whatever you do don't you
moving on now to the Wi-Fi speed test in the Wi-Fi speed test this box was able
to achieve a total download speed of eighteen point four zero and upload
speeds of nine point seven four megabits per second and I'm using the hotel Wi-Fi
to run this test. in the antutu benchmark test the Leelbox Q3 achieved a total
benchmark score of thirty four thousand one hundred and eighty five so let's see
how that compares to the others so this is my top benchmark performance chart
this chart simply shows you which are the highest overall performing boxes
however when choosing the TV box you must also consider other factors such as
the home screen Android version size appearance and of course the price so
the Leelbox Q3 has achieved position sixteen on the octa-core chart with a
score of thirty four thousand one hundred and eighty five you'll be
interesting to see which TV box I review next and what overall performance it
will get please be aware the prices shown are just a guideline as they are
constantly changing on a daily basis so that was the Leelbox Q3 Android TV box I
had a very good overall experience with this box it plays games streams HD and
4k very nicely I love the home screen it's clean and simple to navigate the
system operates nice and stable and I had no issues lag or crushes everything
just worked as it should Wi-Fi speeds were very good considering
I was using a shared hotel Wi-Fi connection the box achieved position 16
on the benchmark performance chart but for the price it's a great all-round box
to consider with that being said I'll leave the links in the description box
below so you guys can check this product out and if you like it you can of course
go ahead and purchase one for yourselves I hope you enjoyed the video thank you
so much for watching and I hope you all have a brilliant day
