MXQ G9X3 Amlogic S905X3 TV Box Review
Today and pleased to review the MXQ G9X3 Amlogic S905X3 TV box. We are so bombarded these days with all different brands and models we often tend to forget that some of the brands like MXQ deliver some of the best high quality build boxes on the market. I was truly surprised by the quality and hardware performance of this entry model, and yes this is the entry model to Amlogic S905X3 chipset. Why haven’t we seen this model and the subsequent models being sold on Amazon and on the major Chinese retail stores during the emergence of the S905X3 models? I don’t have the answer to that, but what I can tell you is that MXQ boxes are not like some of the others that we have seen flooding the market and trying to capture market share. After reviewing this model I will be paying close attention to the MXQ line of boxes for 2021. In this review I felt a very warm cozy feeling inside with the smoothness, the picture clarity, and the overall durability feel of this box. Its 4K video playback, streaming performance, and 3D gaming supported by stable safe operating temperature in the, the MXQ G9X3 deserves a lot more recognition for what it’s worth.

Final thoughts
It’s a great box, it simply is that. It’s performance, its quality build, and picture quality is truly impressive. The only major issue I had with was that it’s not rooted, and if there is a firmware update that addresses this issue then this would truly be one of my editors picks on my new chart.
And as I indicated this is their entry-level model, so what can we expect from the subsequent models am about to review. MXQ has delivered on this model and I would recommend that for anyone to buy if they are looking for high quality for their dollar.
