X96 Mini Android TV Box Review

I have already written an article about buying an Android TV Box for up to 30 euros, and now I am writing about one such device - the X96 Mini TV Box . There is not much to say about this device, its price is around 25 euros, it is an Android TV Box like any other, which means that it is powered by an Android system. Since I wrote about it in the previous article, I will not repeat myself. These cheaper TV Box devices differ mainly only in the chip, amount of RAM, and ROM memory. In the previous article, I wrote about what to pay attention to when choosing, and I chose this device that way.

Differences between AMOLED, LCD, Infinity Display and Retina display

All around us we see advertisements for new smartphones, new specifications, faster processors, more RAM, various biometric sensors… and lately new types of screens. In advertisements, phone manufacturers also include information about the screen, because it is through the screen that we perform the most interactions with the device itself. And then some users find themselves confused by bombardment with various screen names. This article briefly discusses the currently available screen types for smartphones.

Speed Test: Galaxy Note 8 vs. iPhone 8 Plus

This year, like every previous year, Apple and Samsung introduced their new flagship phones: the Note 8 and iPhone 8 (Plus) . Since these are two rival phones this year, various comparisons follow on blogs, and Youtube channels, forums… But, the most important thing for the end-user is the speed of work . For these purposes, PhoneBuff conducts speed tests in real conditions, because specifications on paper are one thing, and work in practice is another. So they did a speed test for these two phones.

SSD is the cheapest and most efficient upgrade for your computer

If you're planning to upgrade your computer and don't know exactly what to do, consider an SSD. Why? Because HDD is a bottleneck in most cases ( check it out for yourself ) when it comes to performance.

Kodi 17 Krypton - Covenant add-on installation

UPDATE : Covenant has also been shut down and the alternative is the "FANTASTIC" add-on! I wrote a detailed installation guide with pictures - INSTRUCTIONS . Old text: In one of the previous texts, I wrote about the Koda add-on for movies and series called "Exodus", but many have problems with installing it. Exodus has problems in general, he changed Repo, so I decided to make instructions for his replacement - Covenant .

Advantages and disadvantages of a memory card in your phone

Not all mobile phones come with a memory card slot, and some find it very annoying. Even the most expensive and best phones that a company offers - Flagship - sometimes do not have that slot, although it is logical that they have it considering their price.

How to set up free IPTV channels and movies on Raspberry Pi?

Yesterday, I wrote a detailed article about Android TV Box devices up to 30 euros and it is intended for those who do not understand much about technology. This article is intended for those who do not want to buy this Box because they already have a Raspberry Pi (which normally costs around 30 euros) and would like to use it to watch IPTV channels, movie series, listen to music, watch pictures, and the like. Note : I will use the LibreElec system for RPi and it contains only Kodi, while Android Box has many other applications, including Kodi. This is an advantage of the Android TV Box, and the advantage, if you have an RPi, is that you can use it for anything else, just insert another system.

Android TV Box - a guide to buying up to 30 euros

What is Android TV Box? This is a great solution if you want to add a " Smart " function to an existing TV . With this device, you can watch live TV online for free (later on), play games, upload all kinds of files, watch movies (from USB, over the internet, phone…), listen to songs, surf the internet, use social networks… or everything you can on your Android phone. It is usually a cube-shaped device (but it doesn't have to be) and has various inputs and outputs. It connects to the TV via an HDMI cable , but some also have an AV output over 3.5mm that goes to the familiar 3 cinches, so you can also connect to an older TV (even to SCART if you have an adapter). It is also standard for these devices to have WiFi , LAN port (RJ45), IR Remote , at least 2 USB ports , support for high definition video formats (these cheap ones often have 4K support), and usually come with a remote .
