Product Information

Once configured we get to the new Android TV launcher based on rows with tabs of the contents or shortcuts to the installed apps. While I was doing this MECOOL KM2 review I kept thinking back to the recent Android TV Boxes that they’ve released. There aren’t a lot of feature upgrades but MECOOL is addressing a big one that gets a lot of criticism which is additional internal storage.

I don’t use the USB ports very often and when I do, I can wait a few more seconds for my files to transfer.This version of Android TV is more bare-bones which I like more as I don’t use a lot of paid services. USB Drive into the unit and formatted it as internal storage and it worked exactly like it would on the NVIDIA Shield. Chromecast is also built-in which means you can easily stream media to the KM2 from your phone, tablet, or laptop. Warranty: We offer a 1-year warranty against any quality defects on the android box (from the date of purchase). When asked what that means I was told “apps could be suggested to be selected to install recording to user location” together with the screenshot below.

System version and root: Android TV 10 (32 bit) / NO rooted / NO root menu / CPU r0p4 (S905X2-B) / Model Skyworth HP40AX2. The remote has such a small “enter” button that you must use the tip of your thumb, not the pad, to enter, and that’s a huge problem as it isn’t good for extended use and contributes greatly to incorrect entries. Not a big one in my book but if you’re someone who connects peripheral devices this way, it might be to you. Also, at startup you have the ability to pair it with your television so you can control TV power, volume, and input. I show this entire process in my First Impressions Video if you’re interested in learning how to do this.

The Android TV-Box Mecool KM2 comes in a cardboard box with the image of the product in the upper area and some information of its functions. b / g / n / ac dual-band, the network is acceptable but not the most stable, and has a 100MB LAN port, not the best thing but its more reliable than WI-FI and provides even better data transmission. If you’ve been following me for any length of time, you know my thoughts on these incremental Android updates. The reason many Android Box manufacturers don’t provide Netflix support is due to the licensing requirements that probably require fees as well.

I’m happy to see that the Netflix app isn’t a hacked version that tries to get around the certifications.Less than a year after we reviewed the Mecool KM2 one of the best budget TV Boxes certified by Google, Mecool is back now with a new upgrade of this TV Box under the name Mecool KM2 Plus is an interesting streaming device that brought good performance and a nice selection of features. As we can see in the results we have a pretty good performance that exceeds some generic box, this hardware is matched against the Fire TV-Box 4K and the new Googlecast TV, far exceeds the Xiaomi Mi Box which is already quite amortized. You have access to all of the most prominent streaming services on the market like Nexflix, Disney+, Hulu, Tubi, Prime Video, YouTube TV, and thousands more. I have an insanely expensive home theater, I’d shell out the money for a premium certified box, is there anything better? and 5 GHz, as well as a 10/100 Ethernet LAN to ensure the stable and strong network signal connected.
