MECOOL KM2 Android 10.0 TV Box Netflix 4K ATV Set Top Box Amlogic S905X2 Streaming Media Player Widevine L1 TVBOX

Product Information

I have been enjoying the km2 for a while now and I’m wondering if this is a worthwhile upgrade, or if I should wait for something more substantial.

I’m happy to see that the Netflix app isn’t a hacked version that tries to get around the certifications.One big difference from other MECOOL Android TV Boxes is the inclusion of the new Amlogic S905Y4 Processor. To me, not too important because rarely we see new Android TV features that would prompt a new purchase. Google Assistant is built into Android TV so you will enjoy hands-free access to many features on this Android TV Box. We also have Chromecast to send content from our Smartphone, it is compatible with Google Home devices and has all the permissions for popular streaming services.

If you want a device with additional storage and RAM, I would suggest looking at MECOOL’s other Android TV Boxes.It does have one USB 2 and one USB 3 port, which I use to access A/V files through external hard drives. While I was doing this MECOOL KM2 review I kept thinking back to the recent Android TV Boxes that they’ve released. Built-in lots of content and entertainment from the Android ecosystem, including 4K Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video, Disney Plus, etc, delivering a world of content the whole family can enjoy. Yea my x5 has been on the test bench doing server duty…very light duty otherwise it wants to take a break and randomely re-boot.

The IR emitter of this remote control has no practical use, we have no settings in Android to configure it. I’ve always been a RAM freak with 16 in my MacMini, but maybe it doesn’t matter as much in an Android box? I show this entire process in my First Impressions Video if you’re interested in learning how to do this. The Bluetooth remote control with microphone included is practical and we can use Google Assistant without problems on a daily basis.This router resides in the same room as my MECOOL KM2 Deluxe (approximately 20 feet away from the wireless router). As for games we can run PUBG in medium/low quality and also cloud gaming services like NVIDIA GForce Now or Google Stadia using the APK to install it. The remote has such a small “enter” button that you must use the tip of your thumb, not the pad, to enter, and that’s a huge problem as it isn’t good for extended use and contributes greatly to incorrect entries. The first thing I did during this MECOOL KM2 review was dive into Netflix since that is the main new feature of this Android TV Box. Endless Android TV Apps on Google Play including streaming content projects from Netflix, Prime Video, Youtube, etc.
