So if the box has dual wifi and bluetooth, it is ok to buy tx3 2Gb?

I have TX3 mini 2Gb and so far no problem using it. Got both dual wifi and bluetooth (5g wifi really useful but bluetooth haven't try). The only problem I got is Netflix's resolution very low (expected problem). So I think it depends on what you will use the box for. For casual use like Youtube, play movie file (not 4k) and playtv it is really enough. The cost is already low so the damage also minimize. Of course, you can't expect much for this price range box.

Dont waste money and time if you are expecting to watch netflix HD@4K on cheap chinese android box.. please remember only buy the devices listed below if you want to watch netflix in HD@4K:
1. Nvidia Shield
2. Amazon Fire TV (Cube/Stick)
3. Apple TV
4. Mibox S

Cheapest option for Netflix HD? Go for Amazon Firestick (non 4K). The price is cheap, below 200 average. If you are willing to use forwarder, buy during Amazon Sales (Black Friday, Cyber Monday).

In fact, I would really recommend Amazon Firestick. even though you won't get Google Playstore, heck, it is android based. You can still sideload a lot of them apks.

Beelink? Crap. Hacked netflix ESN and must reapply Netflix ESN box if netflix blocked their ESN again and again.

For TX3 (Using the S905X3, not the mini/max which is using S905W CPU), only go for 4GB.. 2GB is only single band wifi.. don't be stingy.. go ahead and spend your hard earn money..

right... these boxes are already cheap, why stinge on it?! biggrin.gif
like everything else, best to go for a level where u do not face strange problems later.
i have used 2+8, 2+16, 4+32, 4+64gb...
while it is not always about the x+y gb, it is almost always faster/smoother overall with higher ram+storage.
the other more impt thing is the box manufacturer firmware.
a better box with 2+16 can give better video n audio than a lousy 4+64gb - online streams or local playback.

bottomline... imo, either go for the lowest price base functional box or the higher priced ones with proven features u require.

higher ram does not mean it always better.. CPU is the main factor.. nvidia shield the most powerful android box only have 3GB of RAM..

look in utube.. H96 Max, using RK3188.. 4GB RAM and 64GB storage.. but the performance is worse than a TX3 mini.. the Rockchip RK3188 is really low end CPU..

Forgot to mention, TX3 is not a good choice for Liga M lovers.. as Iflix will encounter issues when go to full screen mode only for Iflix Live TV.. Iflix movies, tv series all other are OK..

Hi do I need the mx3 remote? Is it necessary for elderlies? Or can I configure my smartphone into a remote?

Highly recommended to use gyro sensor based airmouse instead of the touchpad version one..

Mostly you guys put sleep now or shutdown eh?
Bila i shutdown and start again later, the clock for tx3 will be different lor and i cant watch stream.
Need to config again click here and there.then clock back to normal..
clock different from actual time = cannot stream..
set clock back to actual time = can view stream..
*
Clock on TX3 depends on the router.. TX3 use automatic time, once connection is established with the router.. router is the one that provides the current time to the box.. therefore, u might need to restart your router.. as the box is taking quite some time to get IP address from the router
