In November we wrote about the new TV Boxes from UGOOS company (Ugoos Industrial Co., Ltd.) called UT4 and AM1. Currently, these two TV Boxes are released. UGOOS writes on own blog: “This week our partners and customers provide first purchases of Ugoos UT4 and AM1 TV Boxes. Our team worked on these devices during last half a year. We tried to put all the knowledges and experience in these series, took into consideration all questions, remarks and problems that was in previous boxes. Ugoos designers also perform a brand new style, make this series more sharp, austere, they reduce amount of colors and concentrate on details and angles. This task force us choose new materials for the boxes: now this is aluminum structure with central plastic insertion. Enjoy it!”
As you will see below real photo of new TV Boxes from UGOOS, it is immediately apparent that the company put on a colorful housing and thus changes the image of most TV Boxes that are mostly black. If some are not familiar with the specifications UT4 and AM1, we remind their specifications.
