TOX2 TV Stick Android 10 Allwinner H313 Review
It has been a while since the first release of the TOX1 TV Box, and almost a year later we have the release of the TOX2 TV Stick this time running on the Allwinner H313 chipset. At first glance I was a bit disappointed given the performance benchmarks of the Allwinner chipset in the past year, I felt for moment that it wasn’t worth reviewing. However, out of curiosity and given the track record from their first TV Box with features identical to Ugoos models, I saw it fit to take a look at their application of the Allwinner chipset.
What I appreciate about this TV stick is that TOX given the challenge they faced with Allwinner, they still managed to implement lesser features seen in Ugoos models. It is indeed the same firmware developer from Ugoos which means that the firmware delivers a unique features and good optimization. What I also appreciate is that they have now clearly identified themselves as a brand, and they have now launched a website though in its early phase. There TOX2 TV stick is a streaming device and they clearly understand this and has set the price of the unit below $40 which is quite attractive for those looking for a simple device to stream movies and TV shows.

Final Thoughts
So in the end I will only recommend this box as a device for streaming movies and TV shows and surprising it does an excellent job at 4K HDR video playback. Its hardware is on the lower end of the scale and it’s not recommended for intensive activities as it will result in overheating, which shortens the lifespan of the device.
