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.
