X96 Mate Allwinner H616 Android 10 Q TV Box

X96 Mate TV Box Review

So X96 decided to throw an Allwinner X96 Mate model into the mix probably because it’s the only models that can run Android 10. However, Alwinner again delivered the same results as most of the other models. If you have been follow my blog and my YouTube channel I’m sure you are ready to click away from this page because you already know what to expect. So I don’t have much I can say that may surprise you or peak your interest, only to say that it streams movies and TV shows via Kodi and APKs without issues.
