TOX1 Review: First impressions, settings, an overview of features

TV Box is solidly made of good quality plastic. It is small and light. The openings in the housing immediately catch the eye.

On the front panel is an LED display with an IR receiver. USB 3.0 port, USB 2.0, and TF card slot are located on one of the sides. On the other side, there is an external WiFi antenna. In the back are a DC jack, RJ45 Ethernet port, and HDMI 2.0 port At the bottom of the device, there are 4 rubber pads to stabilize the device, a Reset hole, and holes for better ventilation (holes are also located on the sides of the case). Below also typical remote control. Below pictures.

This time we have a choice of 2 Home Screens (Quickstep and MediaBox launcher). Additionally, with or without a status bar.

TOX1 Review

We can choose a typical resolution of FHD 1920×1080 (1080p 60Hz) but you can also adjust the preferred resolution or set the auto switch. Everything worked stable and quickly without delays. TV Box support DLAN and Miracast. We had no problem with Ethernet and WiFi connection to the router and to the Internet. Ethernet: Download – 892Mbps Upload – 306Mbps, WiFi: Download – 227Mbps Upload – 222Mbps.  In addition to the remote control, we used a wireless Logitech MK540 Advanced set and a gamepad from iPega called iPega PG-9076. If you want to control TV Box via smartphone, you can use the Android TV Remote Control app or CetusPlay.

Impressions from the use

TV Box supports Youtube 4K (2160p). Netflix up to 540p. The TV Box has pre-installed  Kodi 18.7, we updated to Kodi 18.9.  Of course, you can play in games (Beach Buggy Racing, Riptide GP2, Asphalt 9: Legends ect.) without a problem just connect the gamepad or keyboard. We used an iPega PG-9076 gamepad (paired via Bluetooth). We also updated the firmware to the latest version (20200812). Below some screenshots.

TOX1 Settings and features

TrustOnX TOX1, compared to the TV Boxes of the competition (in a similar price range), has additional settings and features that are an added value and you could see them in more expensive Android TV Boxes, for example, UGOOS AM6. This is a big advantage!. 

As you can see the following settings are available: ROOT, SAMBA server, Power, Hardware monitor, User scripts, System bars.

You can easily give ROOT acces via ROOT settings. The device supports Samba server, you can share files on a LAN. You can easily share folders in Windows 10, or use them via BubbleUPnP app (on smartphone). Below some screnshots.
