Today we find a small 4K mediaplayer in TV-Stick format called X96 NEO based on the latest Amlogic processor.
Inside this Stick we find the new Amlogic S905X5M Quad Core SoC, the same used by the Xiaomi TV Stick 4K (2nd Gen) and supported by 2/4 GB of DDR4 RAM and 32/64 GB of storage. A stick that we can use as a 4K video player, for emulation, Android games and many more things thanks to using the new Amlogic processor which is quite powerful.
The included connectors are two USB 2.0 ports, micro SD card reader, a USB-C port for power and an HDMI 2.1 video output with 4K@60fps resolution. To connect to networks we have Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 5.4. As usual, a Bluetooth remote control with microphone is included to give orders with Google Assistant.
A stick that we can use as a 4K video player, for emulation, Android games and many more things thanks to using the new Amlogic SoC. Finally, the operating system is Android 14 in a modified tablet version and does not carry the Widevine L1 certificate, so Netflix, Disney and other apps remain in a low 480p video resolution.
