MXIII M82 Quad Core KitKat Cortex A9 ARM Mali - 450 4K Android 4.4 5GHz WiFi Bluetooth TV Box 2GB DDR3 RAM 8GB ROM Support Max 32GB Capacity

1. Better than all my M8 Combined
2. Well Thought out design
3. Power Button: Very important in case the remote is lost, or not working.
4. The OS responds to Suspend and Power Down
5. The remote is much more responsive, and can reach from any position (Don't have to aim it at the box all the time)
This one alone put a smile on my face compared to my M8
6. Good WiFi Range Reception (Tho if you are serious about streaming you Connect Ethernet)
7. Has 2 USB 2.0 Ports (USB 2.0 Sufficient power to power a portable Monitor 2Amps Each)
This model also comes with a miniUSB on the go port.
This is important if you want to dabble on backing up and or replacing the ROM with a custom made
Works well when bridged to a PC through the On The Go Connection
8. The SD Card slot is the MicroSD style, no need for an extra adapter anymore.
9. In comparison to my other M8 boxes this one runs cooler, not sure if its passively cooled or if it has a fan.
10. The Launcher has improved on the latest firmware, it is much more intuitive and has free up memory app.

Suggestion

1. Still comes with XBMC and not Kodi, but this can be fixed very easily.
2. For those that do not know how to load your own addons onto XBMC, mine came without any pre-loaded addons.
This is not a Con really, in fact if you are serious about this TV Boxes you prefer to have a Clean XBMC Install.
3. If you use XBMC on ressolution lower than 1080p this version will not play back video properly
It only shows the Top Right Corner of video: leaving the bottom and right portion cropped out.
However there are work-arounds for this problem. Honestly who does not have 1080p nowadays?
Other Thoughts:
If you do not use XBMC, the default video player will work well at any resolution.
If you use Showbox, it plays back properly using the AV resolutions even.

Opte por este en concreto, porque tenia salida AV y para conectarlo a mi televisión de tubo (sin conexión HDMI) era ideal. La resolución en el televisor, es aceptable. Para lectura de texto no es muy buena, pero para el resto de usos (peliculas, juegos, fotos, etc...) es en mi opinion muy buena.
Ahora reproduzco las peliculas directamente desde el PC, sin necesidad de tener que copiarlas en ningun otro tipo de soporte,memoria flash, disco duro o similar. Tambíen es muy interesante el uso del Airplay Miracast o DLNA, con lo que puedes ver el contenido de tu movil en la TV.
Todavía tengo muchas funciones que probar, pero estoy muy contento con la compra.

Suggestion

Todavía no he conseguido escribir los acentos con el teclado de Android, ni usando el mando que trae, ni con un ratón que tengo conectado. Se despliega las opciones de la tecla, pero no permite que elijas la que deseas. Imagino que sera cuestión de pillarle el truco o probar con un teclado fisico conectado al MXlll.
El envío fue un poco lento, pero llego todo perfecto.

I can't say enough good things about this device.

The price is amazing, it's fast, flexible and you can do everything you need with it.

I ordered mine for Christmas and have used it everyday since. The unit is really stable and well built.

I did a lot of research of various boxes before purchasing and worried that it could be buggy or stutter when playing but it's perfect.

If like me, you want a device that smoothly streams movies, TV shows, plays music, allows you to browse the internet, all on your TV then you won't regret buying this product.

Suggestion

No cons at all.

My only recommendation would be that to unlock the full potential of the box and have full control over all apps, you might want to get a Bluetooth or usb air (fly) mouse. You can get them on gearbest and they allow you to combine both remote function with an onscreen mouse to navigate some apps that prefer touchscreen input.

If we compare with the MXQ:
- A more powerful chip clocked at 1.992 GHz;
- Accelerator Octo-core Mali-450MP GPU (in MXQ worth accelerator with 4 cores. A significant plus for graphics, gamers will be - satisfied);
- Architecture Cortex A9;
- On MXIII installed dual band Wifi 2,4 / 5 GHz;
- Play UltraHD.
Because this Console faster to use and navigate.
On the custom firmware from Mediaman on Benchmark - a great result!

Suggestion

- The case of consoles warmer, but within reason.

Price is really awesome, it have all the gearbest claim, you can view movies with XBMC or Kodi, surf internet and play some games, I never use the small controll included because I connect a small wireless keyboard and it works very nice, wifi is good a easy to configure but I didn't find where to change the screen saver, easy to install any app trought play store.
I recommend it but see the cons too.

Suggestion

At the beginning and almost every day it freeze and nothing work until I reset with a needle inside of the audio hole (this happen many times at day).
recently (after 2 months) it doesn't freeze but almost every 30 minutes or least it show a error message (unfortunately google partner setup has stopped) I try to fix this wiping the cache partition but after a minutes it happen again (it is very annoying while watching movies).

- easy to setup
- super Fast
- playing all media files without lagging and stuttering (720p,1080p, 4k with high bitrates)
- android Kitkat
- install all apps from Google Play
- you can even install OpenELEC, last version 5.0 and working like a charm
- lot of free memory (2 gb ddr3)
- sd card up to 32 gb
- etc...

Suggestion

Nothing to declare.

It comes rooted.
Plays 1080p videos in a full hd tv with ease.
Tips: Best video player to use is the BS player which also plays DTS sound. It comes with mx player pro which does not play dts sound and after firmware upgrade it degrades to the free version of mx player.

The firmware upgrade is needed otherwise the wifi speed is low.(from 108k4 to 109k4)

Suggestion

Build quality of the casing not perfect. Cheap plastic but for the price is ok.
Not easy to understand where the internal button for the firmware upgrade is. It is inside at the AV port all the way in. Put a match in the AV hole all the way in and you will feel the click.
Remote is not really good as is the case with these tv boxes. I would suggest to either buy a wireless mouse with adequate range (lacking the capacity to turn the thing on) or an air mouse that has a programmable power button. But the mouse is way more comfortable and accurate.

This is a great device for those that want to make their tv to be smart!
Very user friendly especially for those familiar with android system.
Compatible with all my pc stuff (mouse, keyboard, external hdd and logitech webcam also works without any setup!)

Suggestion

somehow long delivery time witch is no big deal...

This unit, is fantastic!
Everything works without lag. Moving through menus, playing videos, and launching apps are fluid.
Someone looking for a streaming player with android app access, this is perfect. Easy to use, runs the latest Android software, and great picture and sound.
I highly recommend this product!

Suggestion

There is nothing wrong for me on this machine.

Nov 12,2014

Todo perfecto, conectar y ver sin tener que hacer nada adicional, en mi caso he instalado algunos plugin adicionales porque todo lo que trae es para el mercado de habla inglesa y yo hablo Español.
Pero esto lo tenia asumido por lo que no ha sido un problema ni un inconveniente.
Viene con privilegios root.

Suggestion

Si se puede decir algo malo es el mando que trae, no está pensado para este producto si se quiere utilizar el Kodi como es mi caso. Pero para utilizarlo como caja tv de Android esta bien.
Yo lo que he hecho es comprar un mini teclado y funciona ok
