since you have tx3 mini & it can run astro smoothly, ask yourself will you buy tx6?

that format is the defactor standard in coming years, it is an open standard worked by big guys like Amazon, Cisco, Google, Intel, Microsoft, Mozilla and Netflix. Reason being H265 got stupid expensive patern licence fees. AV1 cost nothing.
AV1 also compress better than H265.

if People buying TV-box to keep for a couple of years, we need that format in.
*
No choice, have to buy new box when AV1 become available

TX3 - seller sent me i8 airmouse, i didnt order it
- antutu 74k+
- 5ghz wifi is useless only can get 40+ mbps better use LAN
- around 60c
- with root close option

TX6
- antutu 47k+
- better 5ghz better with external antenna 140mbps+, good if your router placement is unreachable to LAN
- around 80c+ no problem watching video, never tried playing games.
- no root close option, need to delete some root files to unroot

both with alice ui not 100% compatible with my wechip w1 airmouse, sometimes need to disable mouse to select ok/cancel

after using tanix tx3 s905x3 for 3 weeks, below my final evaluation.

12.12 approaching... happy shopping! tongue.gif
Tanix TX3 S905X3 - a brief evaluation.

Amlogic S905x3 soc, 4+64gb, android9, Alice UI.
1xusb 3.0, 1xusb 2.0, 100mbps rj45, 2.4ghz/5ghz (N).
the rest, u can google n read.

.. has root switch under settings/superuser - u just close it to install/run current official apk's that require unrooted, e.g. astrogo, unifi playtv.

.. 4k HDR 60hz work fine with KODI player; there is a Dolby Vision enabled option - never tested, same with 8K since my equipment isn't such.

.. audio - with movie player app and kodi, u can dd/dd+/dts 5.1 local playback, video is smooth. VLC and MX player apps can't produce DD/DTS.

(too bad, it CANNOT do hd audio like dtshdma, ddtruehd like tx5max, unlike tx3 mini/max which can.
i think this is due to tx3 mini/max uses older, more mature AML s905w; whereas newer s905x2, s905x3, s922x - most low cost boxes cannot do hd audio.)

.. there is no auto frame rate (AFR) feature but streaming/playback is smooth (tx3mini/max has it but does not work!).
using kodi player, no micro stutters even when playing a 2160p hdr BDMV/m2ts file of 60mbps bit rate.

.. picture quality - much like tx5 max, good enough, not very diff from tx3 mini/max.

.. apps - all common apps work fine; including astrogo, unifi playtv, china apps, ahem apps.

.. wifi - ethernet, u get 95-96mbps, wifi 5ghz (n) 40-50mbps if close enough; wifi 2.4ghz 30-40mbps if within good range.
(tx5max has AC wifi, gigabit port - i get 820mbps with ethernet, 200mbps wifi - this is why it is more expensive but is no longer in Tanix product offer.

.. plenty of storage, i dumped in many apps, still 55gb available.

.. no overheating issue.. it stays a bit warm only after several hours.

.. the box has option for remote power button to "shut down" or "sleep"; sleep is useful - it hibernates instantly and reactivates instantly.

.. there is a screen saver feature - u can select default screen or a pic of yr own.

.. big storage is useful for p2p usage, e.g. kodi quasar works very well, smoother than 2 other boxes 2+16gb that I have.

.. Alice UI - u can replace all shortcuts on the screen, top and bottom section.
my overall assessment of this new tx3 s905x3: for its price, it is well worth it.
for those who do not need big storage, the 4+32gb should be more than sufficient.
i like this new tx3 more than tx3 mini/max for its smoother video playback; tx3 mini/max stutters a bit with huge videos but can do hd audio.
i guess u can't have it all for such a price.

i bought from below... bought 11 nov, received 18 nov.

Seller must be mistaken or unaware.

The root switch is in Settings.. superuser... close root there.

Ask seller to recheck!

I will be surprised if it is there for 4+32, 4+64 but not 2+16.

Even tx3mini 2+16 has it.

seller is not that technically competent

Hi,
Just ordered my TX3 - S905x3 4/64 waiting for delivery. Hopefully mine can install AOTG without any issue.
Kinda new to this android box, hopefully can learn more out of this forum with all the Sifu's here.
Thanks  notworthy.gif  notworthy.gif

Using astrogo is easy.

Using other apps may take some time, patience and work... assuming u never used such a box before.

There r cases people buy, use for a week n dumped it.

Also cases people use same box for > 5years, very happy.

So, it depends...

no dump la, collect dust only

Just bought a second unit tx3 s905x3 4gb 64gb recently.
Received on 15 Jan.
Tested working perfectly.

Ran a speed test on LAN connection.
Surprisingly it show 322mbps same speed as my fiber subscription.
