If, like most of us, you’re looking for the
sweet spot at the intersection of price and performance, The TX3 Pro is a great
place to stop.
This handsome, matte finish box sports the new S905X processor, 1gb
of RAM, 8gb of internal storage and it runs the latest Android 6.0.1
Marshmallow. The great advantage of Marshmallow is, if you find 8gb is not
enough storage for you, you can always expand the internal storage with a
micro-sd card. Sweet!
It comes with lots of useful apps pre-installed, including Mobdro
and, of course, Kodi 16.1. This current stable version of Kodi comes with the
best selection of add-ons I’ve seen in one of these android TV boxes. Usually,
I’ll swap the pre-installed Kodi build for one of my own choosing (and you
still can if you want to), but that’s really not necessary with this box.
Mifanstech has included everything you need for great Movie and TV watching.
The Play Store works perfectly and the box is plenty fast enough for
any type of video you throw at it. It even comes with my preferred version of
YouTube, which is the version for Android TV. This version is much easier to
use with the included IR remote control. Of course, you can always pop a USB
mouse or air mouse into one of the two provided USB ports for better
functionality.
There may be more powerful boxes out there, but if your goal is to
watch movies or TV on a reliable, easy to use box that won’t break the bank,
then the TX3 Pro should definitely be on your short list.
