We continue with the fashion of the Android TV-Box Consolizados, in this case with the Hyper Base Retro Monster. A box identical to the VONTAR X4.
This Consolized Smart Box as usual comes with two Gamepads and a micro SD with thousands of games. The configuration integrates 4 GB of RAM, wifi aC, Gigabit Ethernet and ability to decode the AV1 codec thanks to its AMlogic S905X4 processor. This system can be used in dual system with Android 11 in the internal memory or with EmuELEC 4.6 booting with the micro SD card.
As we say, it is still a normal Android TV-Box with a micro SD preconfigured with EmuELEC, something we can do ourselves. If you want more information about this Quad Core SoC from AMlogic you can read our review.
