This box has really surprised me on how well it pro forms smooth & fast.
The T95M in this review has 2GB DDR3 Ram + 8GB eMMC Rom
It has 2 full sized usb ports,1 otg port,micro sd card slot,AV,ethernet,HDMI out,SPDIF & the power
port & not forgetting the secret recovery button in the AV hole.
The T95M is a small sized tv box but its not lacking anything,I will mention It has no power button
on the device its self,But it comes with a good IR remote so you can do most things from the
remote.Its also nice to see a clock on the front of the tv box thats something different.
There’s plenty of ventilation holes on the bottom of the box to help with the cooling.This is a
must have on any tv box IMO as many tv box's over heat but not this one.
The box comes pre rooted & is running android Lolliopo 5.1 With some useful apps
Facebook,Drop Box,Kodi,Mobdro,Film on,Skype,Netflix,Showbox to name a few.
M8 style launcher
App Draw (Nova launcher)
Kodi 16.0
Pre-install Kodi media center,Kodi can be used to play almost all of your popular audio and video
formats around. You can stream your multimedia from anywhere in the house or directly from the
internet.Comes pre loaded with tons of addon’s (Some adult content)
1080 video’s have been playing fine up to now also 1080 youtube video’s playing fine
The T95M also comes with a addon updater for kodi (A good idea for noobs) But seems to take for
ever to download,,over an hour to update. And once downloaded a lot of old & none working
addons thats two hours of my life gone so now back to my normal kodi setup.
Internal Photos
As you can see in the photo below there is a heatsink,Its only tiny but doing a great job The T95M
gets warm not hot,But i will fit a bigger one myself when i get around to it.
Games
Games iv tested so far are the normal games i use to test ,Beach buggy blitz & Asphalt 8 both of them played perfect with no lag whats so ever they also load very fast..
All the games iv tested have been with my PS3 controller using the sixaxis app 0.8.3
Device & firmware
Gearbest has just posted the stock Firmware (I have not tested this yet)
http://freaktab.com/forum/advertisers-and-vendor-support-area/gearbest-com/583752-sunvell-t95-firmware-download-t95-2g-2016160516
The firmware on this box is a lot better than i was expacting & everything works as it should so far.
Firmware on my box when arrived is LMY47V.20160622
It will be interesting to see if we will get any OTA firmware updates (We would like to see this
Sunvell)
The boot time on the New T95M is between 30 & 35 seconds to complete
Shut down time is 1 second
Antutu Score of 35364
USB logitec c270 webcam works fine
External Samsung hard drive of 1TB works fine powered by the T95m
32GB SD Card works
It comes pre installed with kodi 16.0

touch.

Customization
If I flash the stock firmware will it remove their kodi version and addons? That's what I want to do. Or are there any ROMs for this custom or vanilla android.
Thanks
did it support drm widevine?
I got one of these and the FIRST thing I did was flash it to run Libreelec as that's what I want to use it for, first from SDcard and then from NAND, so now it runs just KODI, you do lose the front display and there are a few other minor niggles (being resolved by third parties)
I have tested to 4K and H265 10bit and all works great.
The firmware download is over a GB !! so I assume it will have all the associated crap in there...
If all you want to do is run KODI then I suggest you flash Libreelec to the NAND and Bob your aunties lawn mower man...

Why 15.2?
Libreelec is 16.1, not sure what openelec is.
hi,
I have same box as you, order from gearbest.
i having problem setting the "TV Control" button. How u set it so it can control my tv?
Youtube and Netflix quality
I have this box but I can't seen to get 1080p on anything. Youtube maxes out at 360p and Netflix looks bad as well. I've tried changing the setting on the box to 1080p but that hasn't helped anything. Anyone have any ideas before I send this box back?

You need to download an older version of YouTube. Turn off auto updates

Hi mate. Great review. I'm in New Zealand and we have a different model but same name. I was wondering if these are the same models https://goo.gl/images/HtZnCL
Also how do you find the wifi connection and is it a ac Wi-Fi?
Cheers
Hi There
I have the Sunvell T95M 4K HD TV Box 64Bit Android 5.1 - 2GB + 8GB model and am struggling to get to see the attached hard drive over my home LAN. I can ping the device successfully but cannot connect to it through Windows Explorer. Any settings on the device I need to set? Someone who can maybe point me to a proper manual.
Thanks!
I bought cheap in a offer... but it is a big **** without support... with a firmware 2016/06/22 it still have the same problems from begining... each time you put off... everything set up delete... (

All info needed, rather than retype and possibly introduce an error, this post covers it all.
There is a newer one https://forum.libreelec.tv/thread-1349.html but for a few of us it has issues
For now, I would stick to .005

Being more specifically, I want to use a western digital My Passport.
