Finally a device with the new S905X5 SoC.
Hopefully the manufacturer will be able to provide the necessary files to get CE working.
USB 2.0 ?? ( X96 X4 Amlogic S905X4 has USB 3.0) and NO DV…, not interested.
I tried posting about this on reddit yesterday and the mods there hid, and locked my post. Couldn’t even reply. What a dump.
Looking forward to discussion on it, thank you
Don’t mix up S905X5 (S6) and S905X5M (S7d).
S905X5M indeed only has USB2.0 Phy, it’s a upgraded version of S905Y5 (S7)

I was hoping for H.266 (VVC), WiFi 6 and DV but doesn’t seem to be the case with this device.
SDMC has a new device S905X5, but it’s not sold under a commercial brand yet.

Excellent news, will we have a TOX5 with cost benefit? It would be great, since probably the ucode of this box would already be 4.1, correct? CE NO more stable.
Hopefully TrustOnX go back to an Amlogic SoC.

only negative part is (DC power jack), it should be a USB type C port. But they mentioned that. (board dimensions and the locations of the connectors are identical to the ODROID-C4. Therefore, cases and most add-on boards for the C4 can be used as is.)

I simply use type C to barrel adapters, they are great.
I use one on my gateway, my laptop, and several other devices and all work flawlessly.

Ugoos am9 model on the Amlogic s905x5 processor
Estimated date of receipt: July 2025.
Ugoos am9 2025 model on new processor
A new model on a new stone from Amlogic, which according to Antutu tests surpasses the previous x4 revision, 163,122 versus 101,519 for the s905x4. This indicates high processor performance. The 4 GB LPDDR4X RAM is really very fast, in the pro version, which will appear in winter, it will be expanded to 8 GB. HDMI of the new revision HDMI 2.1b with support for the HD CEC function. The internal memory is 64 GB, but in the pro version it will be expanded to 128 GB. Three high-speed USB 3.0 ports and USB-C OTG for flashing the box using a PC.Important: The console has two USB Type C ports, they are different because the OTG port has a 5V power supply, and the port for 12V power supply. If you connect 12V power to the OTG port, the console will burn out. When selling these devices, we seal the OTG port with a warranty sticker to avoid user error.
If we compare Ugoos am9 with the previous model am8
Although the AM index implies that the console is top-end, the processor in the am9 is clearly weaker than the x928s, although it has the ability to install 8 GB of RAM. It is correct to compare it with the also new x5m model on a cut-down Amlogic s905x5 m5 processor, which has a RAM limit of 4 GB.According to the characteristics, you can see that the set-top box has a new Android 14, a new video chip. If you plan to just watch videos and will not play heavy games, then am9 will suit you. The set-top box has all the functionality and support for which Ugoos products are chosen. Wi-Fi 6 support will provide high speed over the air. If the TV supports 120 Hz, then it is better to buy sk1 or AM8. There is an optical spdif output for connecting a home theater.
If you need a set-top box with the newest processor and the latest Android 14 operating system, then you should buy Ugoos am9. You can’t expect a new operating system to appear on am8, since the OS is tied to the processor model. It is worth considering that the X and AM set-top boxes are manufactured in different factories and the components used, even with equal characteristics, differ and directly affect the service life.

so I compared against the S922x-j
no FEL but it’s faster than the AM6B+ by 36% and able to do other things.
you forgot to screenshot the top of that page that says the s905x5 info is based on rumors and speculation.

I got carried away lol
for anyone not following YadaYada has pointed towards this page
this is just a comparison of the two socs, which is secondary information . fact is you can place an order for the AM9 and expect delivery in July if you live in Russia. That’s the real news
the Russian article said “which according to Antutu tests”
meaning they didn’t test or don’t have the devices at hand.

Curious if this is the same as the also recently released Xiaomi TV Box S 3rd Gen. Looking at Aliexpress, I cannot find the Box 5.
I watched a video of @clarkss12 comparing the Xiaomi S 2nd Gen to the S 3rd Gen and there wasn’t much difference.
It would seem the S905x5, not the S905x5m, will be the one to watch when it hopefully arrives later this year.

Nope, The S 3rd device is a global ATV14 oriented box and it’s compatible with paid streaming APPS. Only it has 2GB RAM.
More like a replacement for older model S 2nd generation.
Yep, not much of a difference between those two.
The box 5 & max were just launched on 15 May, and it will probably take a bit more time to see them available on Chinese online stores.
