hey what's up guys Chigz here from
Chigz Tech Review's and today i've got
my hands on another brand new android TV
box so stay tuned for the review so this
is the under y8 Hexa-core Android TV box
hexa-core means this box has a six core
CPU 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 box has the RK $33.99 hexakill
CPU running at 2 gigahertz the GPU is a
mali 860 you've got 4 gigs of ddr3 ram
32 gigs of internal storage
gilben Wi-Fi b/g/n and AC bluetooth
version for Android version 6
marshmallow this supports Ultra HD 4k
videos at 60 frames per second
supports HDR 10 and hey Choji HDR this
is everything you get in the box you've
got an instruction manual HDMI cable a
power adapter a remote control so this
is quite a full-featured remote control
you can also program this remote to
control your television with these
buttons and the instructions are on the
back I will test this out and let you
know how responsive it is and last but
not least the under y8 Android TV box so
here is well a very nice design if you
look here you've got like a 3d effect
almost like a black-hooded effect but
it's obviously plastic at the front you
have the Gunther logo with the power
button nothing on the right so on the
back you have the power socket an s/pdif
optical port so over here you have a 3.5
millimeter jack and it says R on it so
we'll test that out you've got a network
LAN port HDMI port two USB connections
at the back so if we keep going you've
got a full size SD card slot
you've got a USB 3 port here and you've
also got a USB type-c these two ports is
something new for you guys I've not seen
it in any of the TV boxes I've reviewed
so far so you've got a USB 3 port and a
USB type-c port on this box and we're
back to the front of the unit and at the
bottom this
is what the unit looks like so I just
want to quickly give you guys an idea of
the size of this unit so I'm going to
bring in the TX five Pro TX y pro is one
of the smallest Android TV boxes out
there so I always use this to make my
own size comparisons so if we just put
the TX 5 Pro on top this time you will
notice that the hundo is a little bit
bigger and a few millimeters bigger in
thickness T so now I'm going to hook
this up to my TV and we're going to find
out how well the u under y 8 performs
so this is the home screen for the Indo
y8 so this is a brand new home screen
that I've never seen before so I'm going
to give you a quick tour the biggest
icon here highlighted is TV media center
which is actually Cody we're to see what
version in a bit when I run it you've
got a short client for YouTube you've
got a TV store okay Kay add-ons that's
going to be add-ons for the Cody you've
got you've got a shortcut for Netflix
file manager web browser and you've got
your app drawer there okay
so what's interesting about this home
screen is you can actually edit these
big icons so if you didn't want YouTube
here you could keep the okay button
pressed and now it give you a chance to
replace YouTube with any other apps you
like so just for testing this I'm going
to replace YouTube with Gmail for
example there you go now you can't
actually change the big icons on any
other Android TV box that I've used but
this one straight away you're able to
change these big icons so unless you're
quite impressed with that I'm going to
put it back onto YouTube I've got two
versions of YouTube because I just
installed latest version that's the old
version and this is the new version so
I'll put the icon for the new version of
YouTube they're all of these icons can
be changed let's quickly go into the app
drawer just so you can see which apps
you get installed as standard so these
are all the apps installed on the system
our standard I haven't installed
anything else apart from YouTube so this
came with the old version of YouTube I
just simply installed the new version
I'm actually going to now remove the old
YouTube so if I keep okay pressed over
YouTube I'll have three options I'll
click uninstall say okay and that's it
the old version of YouTube is gone now
so I've only got the new version so this
is everything you get you do have the
google play store netflix you've got
something else called the TV saw which
I'm going to check out in a bit and
we're going to find out what how
different that is from the Google Play
Store so these are your basic apps that
you get installed as standard if I go
back to the home page and move on
you've got four categories at the top
home of recommended online local and
settings to access them you keep going
right now I'm in the wreck
midsection so over here you'll get
recommended apps that you can download
they're not on your system but if you
press ok you're about to download them
immediately so you got recommended at
the moment cloud TV Skype and Twitter so
let's keep going and see what's in the
next section now you have online section
so you've got some online apps here film
on Pandora flex and madro these aren't
actually installed on the system yet
because you've got that green triangle
at the top left-hand corner which means
you can download these so if we go to
the local section now you can see you've
got video music gallery easy-clean app
installer and a Home Media Center so the
last category we have a settings you've
got settings whether other and system
information other is basically you have
the option to change the theme or you
can enable touch sounds if I click on
theme you can go Auto dark bright or
blue it's on auto at the moment I'm
going to go to bright just to see what
happens so we're now in a bright theme
I'll actually see the difference in it
to be honest but fair enough you can
edit the theme you've got whether there
you just input your local city and
you'll get the current weather I've
already done that I've already put
London so now settings if I'll quickly
go to storage I want to show you guys
how much space you have available you
have a 32 gigabytes of internal storage
you have usable 24 gigs ok I'm back at
the home screen the first thing I want
to quickly check out is the TV store
just want to see what this is if you go
to lives you've got your live TV apps
there if you go to music ok and then
you've got video section there for all
your video apps that you can just
install and we've already installed
module ok now at the top you've got
categories you've got news you've got
media game application and manage so
you've got a alternative free app store
already installed on this box called the
TV store but you have the most important
Google Play Store as well so if I open
the Google Play Store just to show you
you have full access to the Google Play
Store and all the apps that within
so the first thing I like to test out is
playing 4k video samples from a USB
Drive and we're going to be playing
those samples on Kodi or TV media center
so let's open up TV media center so I'm
going to test out a few of these 4k
samples and we're going to see how this
box can handle them so let's begin with
the first one
so we just tested out a few 4k samples
on Kody and they all played smooth and
great so let's move on now to another
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 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 box so next we're
allowed to test out is streaming HD
videos on YouTube so let's get you two
broken so I want to play one of my
videos followed by a trader
hey what's up guys jigs here from the
text Tech movies and today I've got my
hands on a very useful product that all
car drivers should on exit I saw in you
what someone once saw in me something
that can't be taught the makings of
occasional during a Kingsman is mortal -
closing the streaming HD videos on
youtube played very well so I just
installed some of my favorite apps and
games on this box and now we're going to
proceed with the test 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 we're
going to begin a gaming test the first
game I'm going to test out is Crossy
roads
so in the Wi-Fi speed test this box was
able to achieve download speeds of 23
megabits per second and upload speeds of
9 megabits per second so the u n-- de y8
was able to achieve a total benchmark
score of 76 thousand 891 so let's see
how that 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 the u n-- de y8 has
surprised me and gone straight to number
two on the optical chart with an
impressive benchmark score of 76
thousand 891 we're getting really close
to the Nvidia shield score but not quite
I wonder which box will actually beat
the Nvidia shield so if we interesting
to see which android TV box i'll review
next and what overall score it gets so
stay tuned so there you have it guys
this is the under y8 a fantastic box a
very very impressive benchmark score a
very powerful android TV box this is
definitely one of the fastest android TV
boxes that I have used recently the box
he booted up in literally seconds this
comes with tv-center but you can
uninstall that and install any version
of Kodi you like I'll leave the links in
the description in case you guys want to
check it out and if you like it you can
of course go ahead and purchase one for
