Smart TV box H96 MAX RK3318
The “H96 MAX RK3318” set-top box presented on “Aliexpress”, running on the “Android 9.0” OS, is a complex electronic device that enjoys great popularity among consumers. The compact-looking module contains a multifunctional media center controlled by a “powerful” processor. It also includes a “Mali-450MP” video chip, which allows you to get the perfect picture in 4K format.
Connection features and characteristics
 | The device connects to the Internet via Wi-Fi modules operating at 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz. It also provides a modern RJ-45 format interface, which guarantees high-speed information transfer. In order to connect to peripheral equipment, the set-top box has a built-in “Bluetooth” 4.0 module. The front panel has 2 USB connectors and a separate slot for a mini SD card. |
The smart set-top box is presented on the selling service “Aliexpress” in 3 different versions:
- With 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of ROM, costing about 1600 rubles.
- With 4 GB of RAM and 32 GB of ROM, respectively – about 2,000 rubles.
- With 4 GB RAM + 64 GB ROM – 2200 rubles.
Taking into account the fact that the volume of ROM is not too critical for working with a television receiver – 2 GB of RAM is clearly not enough for operating devices running on an OS such as “Android”. Experts advise to stay on the second of the proposed options (4GB + 32GB).
Additional information: It’s another matter if the task is to choose the cheapest set when buying.
In this case, the first option looks preferable (despite the relatively small RAM).

In addition to this version of the extended configuration, the seller from “Aliexpress” offers a special remote control for voice control “Google voice remote” with a built-in gyroscope.
Another suggestion is a mini keyboard, which has a built-in touchpad and has a three-color LED backlight (it is made adjustable).
The set-top box is universal in terms of installing third-party programs on it, which provides the user with ample opportunities to use the software he needs. Despite the relatively low price of the product (after all, this is a budget proposal), the characteristics declared by the manufacturer exactly correspond to what is observed in reality.
Movies recorded in the modern “FULLHD” format are loaded into the system very quickly (at the same time with high image quality). In addition to watching TV programs, it is allowed to play not very complex games on the console. The peculiarities of the product from “Aliexpress” include the fact that it is not allowed to operate at high temperatures (in poorly ventilated rooms, in particular).
