Android 11.0 TV Box TX3 Mini Plus - 4GB RAM 4K Media Player

In this review the TX3 Mini Plus Android 11.0 TV box is examined for users who want a compact, inexpensive streaming hub that handles modern codecs and multitasking. The bottom line: it is best for households that need smooth 4K/6K playback, responsive app performance and more local storage without upgrading a TV. The reviewer found the combination of Android 11.0, a quad core Amlogic S905W2 chip and 4GB RAM delivered responsive navigation and reliable streaming for everyday use.

Key Features

• Android 11.0 OS: Provides updated app compatibility and a cleaner user interface compared with much older TV boxes, making setup and app management straightforward.
• Amlogic S905W2 CPU: The 64-bit quad core ARM Cortex A35 processor keeps menus and apps responsive and supports smooth playback for typical streaming content.
• 4GB RAM & 32GB ROM: Larger memory lets you install more apps and keep caches without frequent storage juggling, improving multitasking and app load times.
• Dual Band WiFi & BT4.2: 2.4G/5.8G Dual WiFi and Bluetooth 4.2 deliver a stable wireless connection for streaming, casting and connecting accessories like gamepads or remotes.
• 4K/6K and AV1 support: Native support for high resolutions plus AV1 and HDR10 decoding reduces buffering and improves picture quality on compatible streams.

Who It's For

The TX3 Mini Plus is aimed at users who want an affordable, dedicated media player to add smart streaming to a TV without replacing the screen. It is particularly useful for families that watch a mix of 4K content and need enough local storage for apps and cached media.

It is less suitable for power users seeking top-tier gaming performance or enterprise streaming deployments; anyone needing advanced HDMI features, professional AV routing, or the absolute highest-end GPU should consider higher-end set top boxes or a compact PC instead.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Smooth navigation and app use thanks to the 4GB RAM and modern Android version.
• Good codec support including AV1 and HDR10 for clearer, less-buffered video playback.
• Dual band WiFi and Bluetooth 4.2 provide reliable wireless streaming and accessory pairing.
• Compact form factor that fits behind a TV and acts as a dedicated media player.

Cons

• Not intended for demanding 3D gaming or heavy GPU workloads; the Mali 450MP3 GPU is modest compared with newer SoCs.
• Advanced AV or professional audio routing features are not highlighted, so installers may find limitations for custom home theater setups.
