Review on πŸ“Ί Magicsee Android 9.0 N5 Max TV Box: Enhanced Amlogic S905X3 Quad-core, 4GB RAM, 32GB Storage, Dual WiFi, Bluetooth & 8K/4K HD Streaming by Nick Kirschenmann

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Best android tv box for 2021 until i have the 2nd set top box but the 3rd BIG one like #1

tested. Using and reselling Android TV boxes for over 7 years. The first box contained the S905 processor. I tested boxes from Revain, Beelink, Bqeel, GreatLizard, H96, Nvidia, Pendoo, R-TV, Tanix, TicTid, Ugoos, WeChip and Zidoo. A NOTICE. I paid full price for this device and received NO temptations from the seller. Before I tested the Magicsee N5 MAX, I rated UGOOS AM6 Plus as the best, which means the fastest download, the best WiFi reception, the best TV picture and sound quality. From February 27, 2021 I will be evaluating the Magicsee N5 MAX. the best for the following reasons: 1. TV picture quality. When tested on 24" and 55" HDTVs, there was an immediate improvement in sharpness and color vibrancy.2. Interface. While I can install ALICE used on Tanix boxes, Magicsee makes it easy to change/customize wallpapers, has a quick delete icon to clear cache and makes it easy to add icons for your favorite apps.3 . WiFi speed. The My Cox service offers 180 Mbit/s over Ethernet. Magicsee N5 MAX Speedtest shows speeds up to 174Mbps even over 25ft from my TP-Link CR1900 router. This has reduced and eliminated almost all buffering during streaming. Android 9 runs ALL popular live streaming and TV show apps. Tests on some devices running Android 10 have shown that some popular apps do not work. Price. Magicsee N5 MAX is less than 1/3 the price of UGOOS AM6 Plus and 1/4 the price of Nvidia. I liked it so much that I immediately ordered a second one from Revain. Unfortunately the second was a lemon. First, it wouldn't let me turn WiFi on. Tried 3 times, even restarted. 1 more time off and on again. Have you ever seen a screen with a mixture of English and Chinese? See my attached photo. Number 2 is back. I ordered number 3 because the first one is so good I was hoping number 2 was an accident. The third Magicsee N5 Max works just as well as the first, so the second seems to have been a fluke. Nobody is perfect. Even I! UPDATE SEPTEMBER 29, 2021: I continue to test new Android TV boxes running Android 10 and NONE has beaten these boxes in terms of speed and reliability. Android 11 boxes are now starting to appear, which I find funny because I'm already running Android 12 on my Pixel 4A 5G phone.

Pros
  • 4GB RAM (DDR3) + 32GB ROM eMMc Smart TV Box has more space to install of Android apps and provides you with memory stability system, do not worry about lack of space
Cons
  • will be added later
