Hello my names Mark, welcome to my
review channel today we're going to be
taking a look at the Alfawise Android 8.1 box.
The Alpha Android box is a smart looking little unit that will look
good under your TV
it comes with a user manual, power supply,
remote and HDMI cable. The remotes fine
for basic navigation but you might want
to invest in one with a keyboard on it if you want to enter lots of user names
and passwords it comes with a total of four USB ports, three around the side
that you can see here, and there's an
additional one round the back. As well as
Wi-Fi you also getting an Ethernet port if
you want to connect this via ethernet
cable to your network, so you're well
catered for when plugging this into your
TV HDMI cable is included. The interface
itself is a nice big button interface it
comes with various apps pre-installed
such as YouTube, the Play Store and
Aptoide TV. If you're not sure what Aptoide
TV is that's an alternative app
store so you can download apps from
either aptoide TV or the Play Store
you'll need to put your username and
password in to the Play Store to
download anything. The little icons down
the bottom are customizable so you can
add or remove a little shortcut. The
larger icons stay as they are, you can't
change or alter those. Just having a quick
look in Aptoide TV if you've not seen it
before, it's got all the same kind of
apps that you might be used to from the
Play Store but you don't have to sign in
to download the apps from this
particular store, you can just download
them straight away and so that can be a
bit quicker to get up and running if you
don't have your username or password to hand.
Also comes with a specially designed
Kodi version this is designed for the
particular chip that this box uses it's
really nice to see a clean version of
Kodi included so you can add your own
videos add-ons whatever else you want
nothing is pre set up. Within YouTube
you'll find that you've got a range of
qualities to choose from but I have
found that on a couple of these videos
at the very highest quality the Box
seems to struggle a little bit sometimes
the audio will play and the picture
would stutter a little bit there you go
so you can see it's paused but that was
only the various highest resolutions and
I've only tried
on a few of those 4k videos if you swap
over to videos that I've done which are
not in 4k they're pretty much all 1080
you'll find that it plays absolutely
perfectly very nice and smooth audio and
video all nicely in sync for those of
you into Netflix and binge watching
you'll be glad to know the Netflix app
works perfectly on here so you get all
the nice little thumbnails as you'd
expect click on something it takes few
minutes sometimes to come through
clearly sometimes it's a little bit
pixelated to start with, but once it's
fully loaded up it's a perfect picture
quality and it looks really good you
forget you even using the box and that's
where the little remote comes in handy
because it's more like a standard TV or
DVR remote rather than a big keyboard
and mouse like video playback gaming is
a story of two halves here we've got a
very high end demanding racing game and
although it's playing it's a little bit
choppy one thing to note I am playing
this using a pad a game pad so you can
plug in game pads into the USB ports and
use this as a little gaming box but as
you can see it's not coping too well
with this particular racing game but if
we shift gears down and choose something
a little less taxing you'll find that
this plays perfectly well this is a very
low cost box and I'd say the performance
is bob on for the price, occasionally you're
going to struggle a little bit with very
high-end movies or games but actually if
you're just looking for our Netflix
streaming box and things put Kodi on
something to play a few games like sonic
on this is a really great option at a
very low cost, could be great if you're
looking for a box for the spare room for
example. If you're interested in learning
