News is beginning to arrive in the world of TV-Boxes for the Christmas campaign, and today we come across the new TANIX X4, a media player equipped with Amlogic’s S905X4 SoC.
Few novelties for this Box that at the moment is skyrocketing in price, although it will undoubtedly go down soon and that comes to us already with Android 11 as a system. A suitable Box as a multimedia player, KODI or similar or to play games but not suitable for using paid streaming platforms, since it does not have certificates to view them in good quality.
Remember that you can read our review of the Amlogic S905X4 SoC that is capable of playing video files encoded with AV1.
