Tox3 is an S905x4 product afaik made by Ugoos.
I have 2 . Both are on the latest CE NO22 nightly.
Both work as they should atm 
They do not get hot like other equivalent boxes.
I am happy to recommend them.
They do not do Dolby vision directly but not a concern to me as I use HDR10 due to having 2 Samsung 4k tvās.
Remote.config files etc are also available for CE.
example: Not sure re the seller but specs are there.
TOX stands for Trust On X, I do not believe itās owned by Ugoos

I would not buy any device with last gen S905x4
Unless it offers DV
Wait till CE starts getting sample boxes with S905x5m, and support for thos boxes start. They are actually cheaper and faster.
Depends on if you want to keep Dolby Vision Profile 7 FEL support.
If you do, stay on the current version.
If you donāt and you want the latest kernel + CE-NO + Kodi improvements, switch to NO (but lose DV P7 FEL support).
Thank you - thatās super helpful! I donāt personally need DV support since my projector doesnāt support it. Is it fair to say two things?
If so, any other tips or instructions to migrate to NO? Are the instructions in the Wiki for installing on an AMB6+ still accurate for NO?
Thank you again!
I have no experience with NO, so I couldnāt tell you 
I believe it does support DV, just not FEL, so you will lose the extra video information thatās in the Enhancement Layer.
If Iām wrong, Iām sure somebody will correct me.
If I donāt care about DV, NO is stable enough to shift to going forward?
Its alpha. You are tester?
When not, stay on the NG.
If something works great, why would you want to use anything else?
Mostly because I understand NO is the āfutureā, and I did not know whether or not there were advantages to shifting. It sounds like not, so Iāll stick with NG nightlies as suggested. Thank you all!
I have a Samsung S90D tv so I donāt care about DV. Is AM6B still my best bet or can I do with a cheaper device?
I am considering Vontar X4 for instance.
What is the best budget device for coreelec that supports HDR10+?
Welcome
If you do not care about DV and no display that is Dolby Vision compatible
No you do not need the Ugoos Am6b Plus
All Boxes support HDR10 +,lots of Boxes out there.
Define your needs, Android and CoreELEC
Grab something at least Android 11
I was thinking coreelec, any reason for insisting on Android?
I already have Nvidia Shield Pro which is great and which I will continue to use for streaming services. But I want a device for local media playback in Kodi that supports HDR10+ so that I at least have the opportunity. Nvidia Shield Pro doesnāt support HDR10+.
I guess a bonus would be if a device was great at live converting DV to HDR10+, but it probably doesnāt exist.
Your reply seem to suggest that it doesnāt matter what I choose, but surely some are better than others? I want a device working well with Kodi/coreelec, preferably cheaper than AM6B+.
Im not suggesting anything, simply replied that you probably dont need the Ugoos
Many users prefer the best of both worlds, with streaming apps in Android, then for Media Playback switch over to CoreELEC
To each his own
Good Luck
Corelec runs on top of Android.
Iām pretty new to these boxes and most of what I know of the different options is from the first post in this thread, but if I was trying to save a bit of money Iād get a HOMATICS Box R 4K Plus S905X4.
Iām happy with my X96 X10 8Gb though, and it was the cheapest S928XJ. I believe thatās the option with the fastest CPU.
Coreelec doesnāt have anything to do with android, it is a tailored Linux distribution which completely replaces android on your box
Oh ok, I stand corrected.
Am I correct in understanding that the EOL note in the OP means that 21.2 is the last Kodi version that the Ugoos AM6B+ playback device will be getting?
No, Ugoos AM6B+ is G12B SOC, still supported, even with latest CE22-NO.
Whatās EOL is the NG/NE kernel development, which will end with Kodi Omega.
For Kodi Piers you need to cross the road to NO kernel

Iām sorry, I should have been more specific, I meant while retaining FEL support, which is the main reason to buy that specific device as I understand it.
FEL is only supported by NG kernel. This is not CE decision, AML removed FEL support with newer kernels. So FEL is dead end, right.
But NO can still playback DV MEL. And Iām sure most people will not notice the difference in blind test.
CE-NO does not support DV at all.
