TV-box Transpeed X3 PRO: overview, specifications
Manufacturers of budget consoles never cease to amaze. Offering to buy a TV box in the lowest price category, sellers indicate unrealistic technical characteristics in the product description. Often, it seems that the set-top boxes of the middle and higher price segments are not needed at all. An example is TV-box Transpeed X3 PRO. By the way, the marking painfully resembles the famous product of the Ugoos brand. Apparently, they also took the description of the product from him.
The Technozon channel quickly posted a full review of the set-top box.

TV-box Transpeed X3 PRO: review
Externally, the prefix looks great. It can be seen that the manufacturer did a good job on the design and build quality. Nice plastic, nothing creaks, sustained style. No complaints. The remote is convenient, many buttons. In the hand lies perfectly - the control keys are exactly under the fingers.
I really liked the abundance of interfaces at the console. The manufacturer provided the opportunity for the buyer to choose how to output the sound (digital or analog). He provided the TV box with a working and smart USB 3.0 port. There is even an OTG.
I would like to note the presence of a cool display. Compared to devices in the budget category from other manufacturers, the screen is very informative. From great distances you can see what is written on the display. The backlight is bright, but does not hurt the eyes in a dark room.
TV-box Transpeed X3 PRO: advantages
I really liked the performance of the console with 4K content. These are torrents, IPTV and Youtube - everything works quickly and without losses. By the way, the TV box warms up to 70 degrees Celsius and does not slow down. Of course, it pleases. Trotting tests are great - there are no failures.
The pleasant moments include sound forwarding. This is a rarity for budget devices. Owners of external audio systems will certainly enjoy the work of multi-channel sound. The same situation is with video codecs - the TV box is very omnivorous and there were no problems.
The advantages include the performance of many games at medium settings. Just before starting, you should connect the set-top box to the Internet with a cable and completely disconnect the Wi-Fi module. A common problem for budget devices is that Bluetooth runs at 2.4 GHz. The Wi-Fi module simply clogs the channel, causing the wireless gamepad to stop working properly.
Pleased with 4K resolution - HDR + working. There is nothing to check the 8K format for, it remains to take the manufacturer’s word for it.
TV-box Transpeed X3 PRO: disadvantages
It’s easier to start with a network module test plate. There are no typos - this is real data that causes outrage.
| Download Mbps | Upload, Mbps | |
| LAN 100 Mbps | 95 | 95 |
| Wi-Fi 5 GHz | 35 | 40 |
| Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz | 5 | 2 |
In the product description, sellers in bold indicate that 5GHz Wi-Fi is very fast. We quote: “5 times faster than 802.11 b / g / n.” In fact, it turns out that way. We can safely say that the Transpeed X3 PRO does not have the ability to work with wireless networks.
TV-box Transpeed X3 PRO: conclusions
In general, the impressions of the console are twofold. On the one hand, a full-fledged player for playing 4K content from any source. On the other hand, the inoperability of the wireless network. If you are inclined to the price, then the TV box is very good for watching video on a TV. Problems will never arise. It is only necessary to organize a wired connection. Game lovers will not like the console. Even with Wi-Fi turned off, which closes the channel for Bluetooth, you can’t play resource-intensive toys. There is braking. Not very noticeable, but present. It is better to buy time-tested products from the appropriate Class.
