What's up guys Chigz here from Chigz Tech Review.
Today I've got my hands on the latest A95X Max Plus.
Now they are calling this the video game box it's got some impressive specs and
this comes with a wireless game controller and also
two different remote controls so first of all inside the box you will find your
user manuals HDMI cable a power adapter and I'll tell you the voltage it's 12
volts 2500 ma you're getting a USBC to USB
a charger cable for the game controller so you do get a wireless game controller
included with this package and it's not an average generic style controller this
is actually very nice you've got your four trigger buttons a
very ergonomic and comfortable in the hands you've got this grippy texture
here dual joysticks and a d-pad you've got a plus and minus button so that's
going to be for volume control home button a button which says T and a
button with it zero on it so we'll find out what all of that does a bit later
now another unique thing is you can choose what type of d-pad you want so
they basically slot on top so you can have traditional d-pad or you can have
something that looks like that or this one here so you've got three different
styles I think I'm just going to go traditional and just keep the standard
d-pad or some stuff really liking this controller so far and I'm impressed that
it's not a cheapy generic style one so yes we will be testing this out very
shortly if that's not enough you're getting your standard remote control and
you can't control your television with this remote control instructions on the
back and this is powered by two triple A batteries you're also getting a Nintendo
Wii style remote so they're calling this the sensor remote it's nearly the same
and you're going to be able to wave things around and hopefully play games
so you do have your d-pad home button a mouse button ok back volume control
you've got a menu button in the middle and a speaker and I'm hoping that's not
a dummy I'm hoping that is an actual speaker X a B Y and a single trigger
button on the back now this sensor controller is powered by two double-a
batteries and do you have a USB dongle to connect it
to the box last but certainly not least the TV box itself so here it is guys the
a9 5x Max Plus this box is made completely from a metal body
it's Space Gray all the way around it looks and feels absolutely amazing now
quickly talk about the dimensions it's twelve point five centimeters in height
and seven point five centimeters in width on the front of the box you have
been infrared sensor for the remote control you also have two full-sized USB
3 ports two standard USB 2 ports microSD card slot and a physical power button so
it's nice that you bought all of your ports at the front of the box now if we
go over to the back of the box you have your power socket Gigabit LAN HDMI out
your s/pdif optical in and an AV port on the top you do have a lot of insulation
and the vents are also made from metal and this is what the bottom of the box
looks like and again the stand is made from metal as well but you do have
rubber feet to keep the TV box still so this box is all about gaming it's called
the a9 5 X Max Plus video gaming box so I'm hoping the system will be running
nice and cool and I look forward to testing this out so let's quickly go
over the specs I've put the specs on the screen so you guys can have a quick read
now we have the s 922 hexa core CPU or if the Mallee g5 - 4 gigs of DDR for RAM
and 64 gigs of internal storage now you do have a micro SD card slot for
expansion you've got dual band Wi-Fi AC Gigabit LAN Bluetooth version 4.2 this
is running full Android version 9 PI supports 4k HD are at 60 frames per
second this supports HDR 10 with HDMI version 2.1 and 5.1 surround sound so
without any further ado let's go ahead and get this beast of a TV box hooked up
and find out exactly what it's capable of you know I can't wait to test this
one out so let's get cracking so first of all I run a boot up speed test and
this TV box took 30 three seconds to fully load the
homescreen from a cold start and here is the home screen for this box you have a
clean and simple layout with your search icon on the top left with connection
info and local time on the right followed by a customizable favorite
section so you can select your favorite apps to appear in this top row the next
row is dedicated to games and the first large icon is called action games and
these are exclusive games especially designed for this TV box which you're
going to be using the Nintendo Wii type of sensor controller and we will be
testing this out later and the next two rows will show you all your apps and
finally at the bottom you have an app drawer main settings and Wi-Fi
connection info now if we head over to main settings go to device preferences
and check out the system storage info this box has 64 gigs of internal storage
from which you have 54 gigs free to use and if we have a quick looking about you
will see that we are running full Android version 9 pi now let's have a
look at the complete system apps here are all the apps available on this box
as standard I have not installed anything yet and you do have quite a few
apps to get you started including air screen sectors play you've got some
games pre-installed Netflix Amazon Prime video you even have a PSP emulator
pre-installed and ready to use which we will test a little bit later in this
video and of course the full version of the Google Play Store where you can
download all your favorite games and apps now the first thing I tested was
screen mirroring with the included air screen app and unfortunately I was
unable to connect with either my iOS or Android smartphone so this box
apparently does not support screen mirroring so now I'm going to play some
4k video samples from a USB Drive and I will be doing this with the included TV
MC media player which is basically the same as Kodi Media Player but if you
wanted the official version of Kodi simply uninstall the TV MC and install
the official version of Kodi from the Play Store so the first video is a 4k
high bitrate jellyfish demo and this one is 160 megabits per second and
playback is nice and smooth as expected so now we're going to jump straight to
the 400 megabits per second file and again you can see the playback is super
smooth with no issues at all so this box plays high bitrate 4k files with no
issues
so moving on now to the YouTube test and you can stream a maximum of 4k on
YouTube
can't see us you just told them we're here what was that
I think that was a rifle it's 1985 why why do you think of this 20th 2010 a see
Bostick time of the year Valerie it's late four-wheeler for you
kids I'll be right back I guess we start without him I'm sorry now Netflix and
Amazon Prime is working absolutely fine but unfortunately the maximum resolution
supported is 480p they thought it was a game the cop said it was the wrong house
moving on to the gaming test beginning with Real Racing 3
so I'm pleased to see that pub t-mobile detected the highest HDR graphical
settings for this TV box so now we're going to test out the sensor controller
or the Nintendo Wii style controller so it does work like a standard infrared
wireless remote but you also got a air mouse if you press the mouse button you
got air mouse control there you can turn off the mouse by pressing the mouse
button again you then have a home button volume control so what we're going to do
now is test out the brand new action games so they're designed for this
controller so let's see let's open up the action games folder so here are all
the games you can play with this included sensor remote so you got ascii
salam bowling curling and so on so forth so quite an extensive range of games so
we're gonna try something out let's go ahead and play tennis
love
so next up we are testing out the PSP emulator so I downloaded two PSP games I
put them on a USB Drive and I was able to access those games
directly from the USB and the PSP games played absolutely fine with no issues at
all
so for your advanced users DRM info shows Google Widevine level 3 and here
is cpu-z where you can check out the clock speeds and you can see this is
running the Mallee g52 furthermore this box is running Android version 9 and
does come routed as standard and in the Wi-Fi speed test we've got download
speeds of 58 and upload speeds of 18 megabits per second so that brings us to
our benchmarks beginning with Geekbench multi score of three thousand two
hundred and seven and in the antutu benchmark test we achieved a hundred and
nine k so let's see how that compares with the others so here is my top
android TV box chart of 2019 and as you can see the a nine five x max plus has
taken position seven on this chart now you can view the full versions of all my
charts online at chick's techcom and read them at your leisure so there you
have it guys that was the new a9 5 x max plus so here are my thoughts on this
device this is one of the most powerful TV boxes after the Nvidia shield TV
gaming performance is great you can play any game from the Play Store on the
highest settings this box also has the power to play emulators such as PSP
dreamcast and many more nice and smooth you can play high bitrate 4k HDR from a
USB Drive 4k 60 frames per second from YouTube however Netflix and Amazon Prime
are limited to 480p max and that is of course due to the lack of licensing
furthermore I could not get screen mirroring to work and I did test both
miracast and airplay also do bear in mind that this TV box is not slim and
low profile it's a 12 centimeter high TV box so you would need to consider your
setup and how it would look bottom line this is a super Android TV box great if
you're looking for a custom box which already comes rooted and has the power
to do pretty much anything you like but at 164 dollars you might ask yourself
should I add 40 to $50 more and get an Nvidia shield TV instead now I
personally love what this company has produced a
dedicated gaming TV box something different offering great power and
performance along with some exclusive action games which are only available on
this box this is certainly an interesting box which should gain quite
a bit of interest and with that being said I will leave the links in the
description so you guys can check this product out meanwhile thank you so much
for watching and I hope you all have a brilliant day I'll see you guys in the
next one
