TV BOX VONTAR X3 at a Glance
Stylish packaging and an equally attractive set-top box create a pleasant experience when you first meet. Externally, the TV box looks cool - war paint in dark colors. By the way, the first impression that the console was created for games was confirmed during testing.
Build quality is good. Design deserves attention. The Chinese were not too lazy and made the case beautiful and solid. But the remote that comes with the kit is more like a semi-finished product. Fortunately, sellers in online stores took into account the imperfection of the set-top box and offer to immediately purchase a normal remote control. But these are trifles.
Concerning usability. The wretched Launcher and the oddities in voice control spoil the big picture. Perhaps the manufacturer will finalize the firmware and all problems will disappear. But this is a theory. So far, watching content on TV is displeasing.
On the other hand, the TV BOX VONTAR X3 has excellent performance. There are completely no lags in games, and there is no throttling in test applications. Suddenly. A large amount of ROM (for the 128 GB version) and a powerful chip directly determine the purpose of the console.
Rumor has it that Vontar bought an OEM version consoles HK1 and, with a little refinement, he launched it on the market under his own name. Given the similarities in appearance and filling, it is easy to believe in such statements.
In the budget class (up to $ 50), the device has practically no equal in performance and functionality. Therefore, we can safely recommend TV boxing to all users who plan to watch video content in high quality and play Android games. Focusing on toys, it is better to give preference to the version with 128 GB ROM and get a normal gamepad.
