AM6 Entertainment Performance

Firstly the AM6 only has Google widevine level 3 and no HDCP protection, so Netflix does not install from the google play store. you have to sideload it via APK download or via Aptoide or APKpure app store. Once I install it along with Amazon prime video, I was only able to stream movies in standard 480p quality.

YouTube is a big deal, but YouTube in 4K on a TV box is even a bigger deal. So to enjoy YouTube in 4K quality You have to sideload the Android TV version or the Smart YouTube version from your favorite APK source.

The next area of entertainment is streaming via Kodi and APK streaming apps. The Ugoos AM6 had no issues in that department it was able to stream free movies and TV shows via third party addons on Kodi, or using one or many APK streaming apps downloaded from my favorite code provider.

For those interested in playing high-quality 4K videos, the Ugoos AM6 will not disappoint you. Now in my videos, I have a list of some very difficult videos at high bitrates that normally people will not be using to plackback on these boxes. So playing regular 4k videos will be a breeze for this box.

Casting your mobile phone to the AM6 works quite well using the Airscreen app for Android and Airplay devices. The box does not have dedicated casting app so the will have to install the Airscreen app from the Google play store.

3D gaming is the ultimate hardware test for a TV box as it pushes the CPU and the GPU and can generate heat, so the quality of the hardware and the cooling design on the PCB is key to delivering a great TV box gaming experience. Well, I am happy to report that the Ugoos AM6 has both high-quality hardware and excellent cooling, so you can game away on this box without issues.

Conclusion

The Ugoos AM6 is work of art with careful hours of though and execution to deliver one of the best if not the best Android TV box for 2019, the scores and performance speak for itself. The Pros far outweigh the cons, and speaking of cons, I did find a few of them. The box should have had 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage. They should have designed a custom DRM switch for Google widevine level 1, an HDCP protection for Netflix to play in 4K quality. Just one of my 4K samples had playback issues. And the stock remote. Though innovative in its design should have included an air mouse feature.

  1. Two things –

    1) Why is the nvidia shield no longer on your list? Did I miss something?

    2) I noticed a feature in the ugoos settings called client/server settings. You did not explore that – I am curious if this has a built in samba/smb feature for transferring files over a 1Gbit network. If so what transfer speeds you could achieve by testing a large file transfer over your network.

    Thanks.

    • Hi

      The Nvidia Shield was never in my list, the reason for this is because there is a heading to the top of the spreadsheet. When they release a new model I will review it then, other than that there is nothing new about the Nvidia Shield other than firmware updates. I am looking for new stuff to make videos about if I focus on the Nvidia shield like everyone is suggesting, then there isn’t much to make videos about.

      Your second question is yes the Client/server settings is to facilitate the samba feature. As mentioned before I am not an expert in that area but I asked and the Ugoos guy yes that’s its purpose. How to set it up and configure it I honestly have no experience in that area.

    • I asked that question and got no reply, maybe due to marketing strategy, or maybe not releasing any more models. If new information ariseses, I will publish it in the comments.
