X96 Max Plus (Max+) 4/32Gb
X96 Max + and its main difference from previous models is the new processor. Together with it, it is able to demonstrate a higher level of performance for a fairly small amount of money, which makes it one of the best solutions for most users.
X96 Max Plus Specifications
As mentioned earlier, the android tv box uses a new processor from Amlogic - S905X3, which has four Cortex-A55 physical cores, each of them clocked at up to 1.91 GHz.
The classic Mali G31 is used as a graphics chip, which still perfectly reproduces video in 4K format with a frame rate of 60 frames per second. To meet the needs of different categories of users, the smart TV box manufacturer has created three different configurations.
There are variations to choose from:
Max Plus s905x3 with 2/16 gb, the most basic and, accordingly, cheaper media player.
Max Plus s905x3 4/32 gb, a mid-range solution ideal for those who do not need a lot of storage.
Max Plus s905x3 4/64 gb, the maximum configuration of a smart TV box, with large enough storage to install a variety of games and media files.
This variety allows each user to get the optimal media player for their money and not overpay for unnecessary performance or memory.
The operating system Android 9.0 guarantees a comfortable work, animations are smooth, the interface looks more optimized for smart TV compared to previous versions. A high-performance silicon chip, together with a sufficiently large RAM buffer, guarantee comfortable work even with the latest
versions of the Android operating system.
