Ugoos AM9 coming in July

It looks like Ugoos will launch the AM9 in July and the AM9 Pro sometime later this year.

They will have the s905x5 so will be more powerful than the m model but less powerful than the s928 SK1.

A new model on a new stone from Amlogic, which surpasses the previous x4 revision in antutu tests, 163,122 against 101,519 for the s905x4. This indicates the high performance of the processor. The RAM LPDDR4X 4 GB is really very fast, in the pro version, which will appear in winter, it will be expanded to 8 GB. HDMI is a new revision of HDMI 2.1b with HD CEC support. 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.

Specs below are for the AM9 which will release first, later this year (in winter) the Pro version should have 8GB memory and 128GB storage.

So, it looks like the SK1 will remain at the top as their prestige box for a while longer. These will have Android 14 though, maybe Ugoos will update some of the current boxes like the SK1.

Seen this on the Ugoos telegram last week and it doesn’t seem to be much of an upgrade other than the android version which doesn’t really improve anything for streaming.
I think Anth mentioned that a September release date was mentioned on YouTube.

I don’t see them upgrading sk1 or am8 models because as the saying goes if it ain’t broke don’t fix it.
I just curious if someone can build a device that can play DV P7 FEL running on android and not using coreELEC.

Agree 100%. I own 2 SK1s and they are as good a streaming box as they come. I have no other needs in terms of performance beyond what I get from them.

Yeh i got a reply from ugoos.store on youtube and they said maybe in September.

There doesn’t really seem to be any upgrades on previous models apart from the one below.

Is the only advantage of the am9 the h.266?

There is also another new device coming the x5m pro which is an upgrade to the x4q.
