X2 CUBE TV Box Amlogic S905x2 Android 9 - Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers

Here we come with a pretty interesting TV Box based on relatively new Amlogic S905x2 SoC. '
There are a lot of reviews about this SoC already so we not going to stop on this part.
This device also has 2 GB RAM and 16 GB ROM, which is kind of a standard for middle range devices.
As far as I get, these devices come to market in different variations and not only different amount of ROM and RAM but different type of RAM.
According to resellers devices come with LDDR3 and LDDR4 chipsets, so here is the list:
X2 Cube comes with LDDR4 2GB memory and 16 GB NAND
X2 Play comes with LDDR3 4 GB memory and 32 GB NAND
X2 Pro comes with LDDR4 4 GB memory and 32 GB NAND
For a review, I got the X2 cube model with 2/16 GB pack on board.

}
Form factor of the device is not as standard as I felt at first site. It is neither TV BOX size nor dongle; it is something in the middle.
Device dimensions 110*62*22mm. X2 Cube looks like a bigger version of dongle size device but with a standard combination of interfaces.
Device has standard for dongles size interfaces: USB 3.0 and USB 2.0, HDMI 2.0, AV port and TF card port.
As a normal TV Box X2 Cube has SPDIF optical interface, IR port for remote control detector, and LAN 1 GBit interface port.
Device gets its power from micro USB port (5V 2.5A)
Performing a first start, I saw a standard Amlogic icon and brand start screen with logo.
Start screen after loading shows “Launcher 3” standard launcher with several apps including Google Chrome, Play Market, File manager and Settings.
Bottom side of packing box told us it is Android 9 based system and we see this as soon as we run settings.
After establishing Wi-Fi or wired connection device need to spend some time to update google apps and then you can start, login and install your apps.
Checking the settings, I found special settings tab called X2 settings. Tab looks similar to Ugoos Settings in Ugoos AM6 I have checked and reviewed before.
Looking through the ugoos.com I found out this device was created with the help of Ugoos Company:
they have placed information about X2 Cube in a “projects” section.
X2 Settings sections contains following abilities:
- One click Root feature to provide additional rights for selected apks
- File server or file client server: to share info from storage to internal network
- Playback settings: provides additional settings to make sure different video format playback correctly
- Hardware monitor provides main information about TV Box in upper bar
- Wireless assistant gives ability to use smartphone to control this device
- Gamepad settings can help to customize controls for better game experience
- Debug settings is a tool for developers
- User scripts gives ability to activate prepared scenarios also useful for tests
- System bars function control activities for both upper and down bar
- Input device settings offers several profiles for different remote controllers to use
Updater application also looks like Ugoos updater, which provides OTA services and manual update if you have downloaded OTA Package file.
At first site TV Box have all promising abilities of good TV Box.
If you would like more details about this device let me know I will share more details

That's a really good review, thanks
Is there any possibility you could test the max temperature it reaches under high cpu load?
With the apps cpu load generator and Cpufloat (for checking the temperature in real-time)
Thanks in advance

I have also checked device with a throttling test, you can see the screenshots below
The device shows pretty good performance and seems overload do not let the system get too hot and cut CPU frequency.

The box has a good cpu temperature even under high load.
Thanks for the help
