Magicsee N5 Max Amlogic S905X3 TV Box Review
If you are looking good solid TV Box in 2020 at a reasonable price that won’t let you down I strongly advise you take a look at the Magicsee N5 Max Amlogic S905X3 TV Box. I am trying to recall if I ever got a bad review of a Magicsee TV box, and none comes to my mind. The new 2020 N5 Max is another testament and adds to the reputation Magicsee carries. Magicsee starts off the year on the right foot with this latest release. The N5 Max has all the right features of a medium-grade TV box recently seen in high-end boxes such as Ugoos and Beelink. In this new model sporting the new Amlogic S905X3 CPU is clocked at 1.9GHz without overheating, and it has features such as Root switch, hardware monitor, and digital audio output.

Conclusion
My experience with this box was a good one. I am really pleased with the features is has, the speed of the CPU, the 4K video playback, and the streaming and gaming performance. I identified a few cons namely the low LAN speed, no screen rotation feature, the limited status bar, and the missing Dolby TrueHD audio output. The 2020 Magicsee N5 Max is a very good TV box for streaming and gaming and the pros far outweigh the cons.
Thanks for the nice review ! I have one question – which one you will choose between magicsee n5 max and A95X F3 ?
Thanks in advance !
Nice question, I will have to go with the N5 Max S905X3 only based on benchmarks comparison.
I had problems with the HDMI connection on the A95X F3. Almost every move I made with the remote control or wireless keyboard caused the HDMI signal to refresh and my Sony TV would show a black bar with the HDMI input parameters. Navigation of launcher, settings menus, apps, all the same – any move caused the HDMI to refresh. A different cable didn’t change this very annoying behaviour. A95X hardware or firmware issue, I don’t know. The TV behaves fine with my old Beelink box. Sending the A95X back and getting the N5 Max reviewed here.
