Must Have :Amlogic CPU

The first “must have” feature is an Amlogic CPU. They’re not the only CPU-maker for Android boxes, but they’re easily the best performing and most reliable. Amlogic has been making the brains behind most Android boxes for almost a decade . Quality Android TV boxes run Amlogic CPU’s. From S905X,S905X2,S905X3 to S922x Amlogic CPU's are simply the best. I won’t even consider an Android box without it.

 

Must Have :System Memory RAM

The next thing to look for is 2 or better still 4 gigabytes of RAM. However, there’s a little bit more flexibility in this rule than the others, so let me explain. Most Android boxes come with somewhere between 1 GB and 4 GB of memory. Although more is better, there’s a point of diminishing return after 4 gigabytes. System Memory (RAM) affects how snappy it feels when you’re moving around menus and It’s a big factor in how smooth video playback is. Sure network speed is a important, and we’ll get to that next but the video file needs to be loaded into memory before it can be displayed on your screen. Bullet Boxes are specifically tuned to get the maximum performance out of their onboard RAM.

 

Must Have: A Quality Internet Connection

If you want the best, most consistent, performance out of your Android box you will need a quality internet connection. Hook it up via an Ethernet cable if you can . Although Wi-Fi speeds have come a long way in recent years we have added a lot of wireless devices to our home networks over that same time. The more devices on your network, the less bandwidth is available for each of those devices. We realize that not everybody has the option of connecting your Android TV box to your network with an Ethernet cable, and that’s OK too. If you want to use Wi-Fi look for one of our Bullet boxes with an external antenna which will give you the very best Wi-Fi reception. We recommend a minimum of 30mbps for each person in the house.
