hey guys welcome back in this video I'm going to be reviewing the a4 Android TV
TV box from a box now this box is running the official Android TV
operating system the exact same as the Nvidia shield that means on this box
you'll see Netflix in 4k YouTube in 4k you'll also get OTA updates which is
over the air and you'll also get a voice search remote control so as per normal
and we do a quick unboxing I'll take you through the setup process I'll show you
I can install some apks run some 4k videos and maybe some games and it will
finally end up with some benchmarks so with all of that being said let's get
started okay let's open that up okay so first we got actual box here so let me
just leave the specs over here or I'll take you around the box so the front you
got an LCD screen on the side you or nothing now in the back here we've got
the s/pdif audio out you have got an Ethernet port so I know lots of people
including myself do prefer to stream over wired compared to wireless so it's
nice to see an Ethernet port here hey you got the a/v out next that you got
HDMI out and there you got the power icon this hard you've got two USB to
ports and you got the memory card slot and that's the front again underneath
you got some four rubber feet and you got some nice cooling vents here and it
just tells you this is the 2gig edition with 16 gig storage ok next up you got
the power adapter here we have the small user manual but as with all Android
boxes is normally just a case of plug in the HDMI cable plug in the power lead
and you're pretty much good to go we have a small dust cloth as I previously
mentioned this top is quite glossy so it will attract finger prints so we can use
this to keep it nice and clean so guys have to say of all the Android TV boxes
are previously unbox this has to be the nicest one because they really I paid
attention to just a packaging and make everything look nice which you normally
don't see on these Android TV boxes and this is the remote control and we can
see here it does have the voice search so coming from a second-generation fire
stick with Alexa I'll use a voice search all the time so it's nice to see these
under boxes also having that feature as well so this is everything you get
inside the box now plug this into my TV and I'll take
it to the setup process so this is the first thing you'll see when you first
turn the box on and it's just telling you that to pair your Bluetooth remote
control you need to hold down the V minus key which is the volume down and
the page down key see me do that now and we can see in the top left says is now
paired I always just prefer bluetooth devices compared to infrared it just
makes it so much easier you don't have to point the remote at a particular
point plus excuse my language so as with all Android TV boxes you can actually
pair them with your Android phone or Android tablet and it just makes the
whole setup process so much easier and quicker because it just downloads the
configuration from your device onto your Android TV box but let me just show you
the full setup process anyway let's click on low let me just click to my
wife I came up Wi-Fi is now connected and this has to be one of the best
features of Android TV boxes guys because they do support over-the-air
updates so no more messing about downloading firmware or find a USB
sticks or just you know all of that fiddly stuff with the official Android
TV boxes all of the updates come off the air and they can all just be installed
with one click well to want to download and want two installs let me click on
download and let's click on install now and we can see it's now installed in the
system update code you sign in to my Google account click on accept and let's
click finish and that's it guys we are now inside the official Android TV
operating system and as we know this has been optimized to run these boxes so
just moving around clicking on things everything is just buttery smooth
there's no stuttering or any kind of lag it just runs really smoothly if I just
take into the settings and about and we can confirm this box is running Android
TV version 7.1.2 ok let's back out of that and in a storage we can see this
box comes with 16 gig storage out of which and we have 10 gigs free to use
get us back out of that so one of the key features of this box is it does
support voice control so wherever I'm on the screen I can just press the button
on my remote what's the weather in London
now we can see we get a great response like that so just having that control
just makes the whole thing so much easier to use we can also interact with
other applications so for example I could say Tech dr. UK YouTube and there
are guys we can see my channel there we can see some of the videos I've liked
and some of the videos are posted and we can even install applications so I can
say install Kodi from play store so I cannot click on that view in play store
and now I can just install it and we can see that now installs Kodi for us so
just having that voice control lets make navigation around this Android box a lot
easier and as this is running the official Android TV operating system he
will be able to play videos in 4k direct from YouTube tell us back out there so
let me now just open up Cody and let's try some 4k videos from my USB stick and
let's see how this box performs
you
and we can see guys this box was able to handle all of those 4k videos without
any issues whatsoever let me just show you how easy it is to install apks on
this android TV box so I'll just downloaded droid admin onto my USB stick
I'll plug that into my TV box let's click on that now here we can see the
apk for droid admin or what's now been renamed to four links as click on that
now and let's click install we can see that's now installed let's open that up
so now we can just enter in my droid admin code let's click on continue and
there we have it guys we have now access to my entire ap K store as we know to
install anything from here it's just one click so let's say for example I want to
try show box let's click on that that starts downloading let's also install
the latest version of trim TV let's click on that
that also begins to download the apk and let's also install mob bro so here we
are simultaneously downloading three apks okay so once these icons have
changed to a player icon that means apks have now been downloaded and we cannot
just install them with one click so let's start with show box first click on
install that's now done and lastly let's install the good old trims he will click
on that click on install circusy go is installing apks from droid admin or far
link it's very very easy on this box hey you can just see me running couple of
the apks like show box and mob dro and as you can imagine guys a box of this
power you can whizz through these apks without any problem whatsoever
so movie apk is IPTV apk is a TV show apks this box will do it all I also
installed code used one of the recent builds and as we can see guys just now
we can around the menus clicking on stuff
everything was just really fast so one down two to six benchmark this device
gets twenty six thousand two hundred and seventy two so in some you'd say this is
a good option if you are looking for the official Android TV operating system
having the voice remote control makes the whole process just so much easier
all of the 4k content pretty much any kind of streaming I tried to do on this
device worked really well with no lag or buffering everything was just really
really smooth on top of that this box does have a built-in Ethernet port so
you can use it with the wire and finally we have two USB to ports comparing that
with the Xiaomi me box which has no Ethernet port and only
one USB socket that's who for this video guys many thanks for watching Hollywood
