    I just purchased the 8gb version of ram and I have the same problem from the first 30 minutes of trying it, it freezes and I must disconnect it from the electrical outlet, I have tried everything and I have written to the official support of H96 Max V58 and they left me in sight. The last thing I will try is to install the older version of software since I have tried AC adapters of higher amperage and the same voltage and it keeps freezing. Hopefully we can fix it.

      I'm on the boat as to whether I should move on now my Nvidia shield has failed. I'd love an updated Nvidia offering and don't want to repeat the mistakes of the past (buying shite box after box) but I might give an RK3588 a go....until (if) Nvidia get their act together.

    The RK3588 with Mali G610 combo is impressive. Other devices sporting it have been able to emulate the complete PS2 catalogue with ease. You are going to see this affordable chipset dominate the industry in 2023, which is terrific as the price will drop further. I am surprised to see 8GB of LPDDR4 though.
    Great hardware - software not really good enough.
    Stay cool man. 👍

      I don't think Google or Netflix will certify this chip/ram combo. If it had both of them I would consider this to replace my Shield TV 2015 as Dolphin doesn't work that well and AetherSX2 (Rip!) Is like 5 fps!

    • @LivingLinux
      @LivingLinux Год назад +2

      Prices can drop even further by using the RK3588S. Same CPU and GPU cores, but cut down IO. Since most TV boxes don't come with NVMe, SATA ports anyway, it won't matter. Mekotronics is an exception, as they have models with NVMe and SATA ports.

    Yawn... nothing new for 2023, then!
    Actually, this seems like a bit of a cheeky rip-off advertising itself as an ANDROID TV box.
    The specs are just average, too, and it looks like it has a failure issue with some apps.
    Not enough USB ports, no USB 3 input and STILL (amazingly in 2023) no dual monitor output...
    ...and it's precicely for this reason that I left all iterations of Android boxes behind a year ago and bought a mini PC for my PLEX, KODI, RUclips and off line viewing content.
    Best decision I ever made... watch movies on the TV and keep up with the footy scores on the second monitor! Also you can actually DELETE stuff you don't want anymore!
    (I highly recomend this mouse, though, which you can buy seperately (and cheaply) on Amazon.)

    Excellent review ! You're reviews of Android TV boxes was the reason I originally subbed to you're channel, & this TV box is pretty damned impressive ! I am not so keen on Rockchip SoC's, but this appears to be pretty decent. Thanks again for a comprehensive review. CHEERS ! 👍👍👍

    Been using it hardware wise it murders the shield even my pro sadly however the software is absolute crap and a lot of my plex stuff has to transcode because of it wish someone would roll an actual android tv build for this thing.

    Malware in the box
    Just in the news today via bleeping computer! Subject: Mirai variant infects low-cost Android TV boxes for DDoS attacks
    The primary targets of this campaign are low-cost Android TV boxes like Tanix TX6 TV Box, MX10 Pro 6K, and H96 MAX X3
    Please be cautious when using any of the cheap tv boxes out there.

    What a bad box, too expensive, all hardware but without software implementation....

    do not buy it, it cannot play fast moving tv-pictures smoothly, looks like it stutters on fast moving pictures, horrible to watch.
