Assume it has the MOL3 application. But does it have SYSTEM PICKER?

@GraceWilson based on the current price of the Formuler Z11 Pro Max Android 11 (currently on Amazon) I would think that if will have to be in the neighborhood of, at least, $200.

I’m curious if what Google is planning about side loading scenarios if that will also impact this device

I’m sure if that happens Formuler will have an update shortly after.
I’ve owned the Z11 Pro Max from day one, I’m thinking over 3 years now. Formuler has always fixed problems in a reasonable time frame. Also I can’t wait until I can afford the Z12 ULTRA!

Formuler devices usually run AOSP so Google proposed changes to apps that developers don’t register as an Android developer won’t affect these devices.

Thanks for the heads up and replies. I’m a newbie with all this but savy to set up an android device and hook up family & friends.
Funny the timing of this announcement from Formuler lol, after the Google TV news. Boxes like Ugoos and Formuler will likely capitalize on that for a good long while. Not that those brands weren’t already popular in here, but they will really start to see some people switch over to them if this situation starts to get bad.

Hello! I’ve been working streaming boxes for over 10 years now and Troypoint could have saved me at least two years of research. It took that long to find this fantastic website. Of the dozens of boxes I’ve mastered the FORMULER I like best. The versatility of set up is superior to any other device I’ve worked. I can make it work very similar to a cable box. Even the remote can be highly programmable and I like the numerical keyboard on the remote.
The only problem with Z Max Pro 10 & 11 is that it’s rather difficult to master. It took a lot of trial and experimenting to get it right. So I’m going to keep an eye out looking for FORMULER issues. I’m no expert but have 5 years of FORMULER Z Pro Max experience and willing to help. I’ve received a bit of help here and now the time has come to repay the favor!

I also have tried many different brand and models of android box. I have been on Formuler Z11 Pro Max about 2 years now and it is my favorite as well. Everything about it is just a notch above.

Only the GTV has Google TV os with ads from that os on the home screen
Z12 is based on Android 12 - will get security updates but the os will remain the same if they stick to current policy.
Re MYTVOnline 3
This has had bug fixes - introduced with Z11 and a big update to launcher - see Troy’s review

The hardware / remote are the biggest update over Z11 Max pro.
What makes Formuler the nearest device to cable tv is the remote / navigating live tv
Don’t think it will - this is for Tivimate app for recording

@TROYPOINT - if you want to review USB tuner with Z12 Ultra option
