Bought this 2G/8G S905 box MX IV a.k.a MXQ Plus also a.k.a Transpeed S905

First thing I did when received the box: Dismantle! Haha…

Wifi antenna is just a wire attached with an antenna sticker.

What I not satisfy is it doesn't come with any heatsink on chip, so I mod it by adding a small heatsink.

The internal looks (not my pic):


The remote sucks too, luckily I bought a Logitech K400 Plus for it.

So far no problem but I doubt if got any better common firmware could be flashed to it. I found a new firmware on Aliexpress sales page posted by a seller and the firmware is to fix wifi issue. Since I got no problem with my wifi so I am not taking risk to flash the new firmware.

Sekian.

Just want to give review of MXQ Pro III.

For newbies like me, maybe looking for cheaper option for start. And this model is selling quite a lot in online marketplace and at a very cheap price too. I got mine at RM117.

1GB RAM, 8GB flash.
For starters it is a decent device. But since the ram is low, it tends to crash now n then.

If you're using iflix, it is still capable to be used for streaming. But for KODI and others that might require more RAM, it often hang and crash when opening the channel.

So, if you're a beginner and looking for device, I suggest skip this one and just look for 2GB models. It will be more reliable.

As for me, most of the time only using iflix, so it is still bearable.
