X96 a smart Android TV box from Amlogic, a quad-core a 53 CPU or 2
gigahertz 2 gigs of RAM and 16 gigabytes of flash memory runs on the Android 6.0
one marshmallow with Kodi 16.1 pre-loaded, in terms of connectivity and
expansion it has 2.4 gigahertz Wi-Fi band, 1 HDMI 4K
4K true HD output, 2 USB ports, 1 for hosts and the other third device, an SD
card port up to 64 gigabytes of expandable storage, 1 AV output,
1 optical digital audio and 1 Ethernet rj45 interface, all powered with a 5 volt
2 amps adapter, and last but not least, one infrared remote controller.
For starters, we can plug a keyboard and mouse to a better user experience for
this use the USB ports like I did here with a cordless keyboard from Logitech
this one I get it from my 2001 Pentium PC but you can get one smaller nowadays
a keyboard as you know is very useful to type in or make searches on Kodi browse
the web or even to play games and of course a mouse can be useful but you may
not need because the truth is that this remote control has dedicated app buttons
making it a very user friendly controller
the AV output is a good option to connect a pair of headphones
all connect if you have a reliable or a trust desktop computer speakers this one
is from the 90s but it's in a good condition and serves as example as I
mentioned earlier we can easily navigate around the user interface from the
remote control we can navigate directly to the Android settings go to
applications page or even launch Kodi Media Center all of them and each one
with is dedicated button
from the homepage we have the most important applications in a type of tile
layout the Google Playstore aware the browser apps and settings folder a very
useful clean memory shortcut and a minibar with more apps that we can edit
as you want a TF or an SD card can be added with a maximum of 64 gigabytes as
soon you insert a card and if is in a different file system the storage and
backup settings appear go ahead and format it to be compatible with the
Android file type system this way you can't move apps files and photos to get
more storage to download and update Android apps create an account in Google
Play Store or if you simple going to use your Android TV box for Kodi here could
need to update or install some new video add-ons you can always watch some of my
videos on how to install third-party video add-ons and Kodi I leave a link
and video description and that's it since one month now that I'm using this
box what can I say for a quad-core processor at 2 gigahertz and 2 gigs of
RAM it has a low power consumption the Wi-Fi offers a stable signal the 4k
output with vp9 decoding can save up to 50% of bandwidth resource support
