TESTING AND FIRST LOOK

Element Ti5 First Look
With technology constantly changing and different makes and models of Android boxes flooding the market,
how do you know which one is right for you?
My answer…..by testing it of course.
I had the pleasure of testing an Element Ti5 Android box for about a month now. There are some pros and cons just like any other android box (mostly pros though).








What is included besides the Ti5 and small instruction booklet:

What I like about this Android box:
  • Great price point
  • Great Specs
  • Kodi comes with a ton of pre-loaded add-ons
  • It is FAST
  • Many other app options besides Kodi
What I don’t like about it:
  • The standard android remote and no batteries included
  • The inaccurate instruction booklet
The Good:
Price point:
Amazon currently has this box listed for $89.99 + Free shipping with Amazon Prime while buying it directly from their website is $94.99 with Free USPS Priority shipping. I have seen this box as low as $75.99 on sale through Amazon.
The Ti5 has some impressive specs:
  • AMlogic S905 Quad-Core 64-bit Cortex-A53up to 2.0GHz
  • Penta-Core Mali-450 Up to 750Mhz+
  • 2GB RAM
  • 16GB Memory
  • Android 5.1 Lollipop
  • Bluetooth 4.0
  • 2.4/5.0GHz Dual Band WiFi
  • Up to 4k resolutions
  • LAN 10/100 RJ-45
  • USB x 2 / SD Card x 1
  • HDMI 1.4 with HDCP Support
  • SPDIF & DOLBY TrueHD and DTS HD Bypass through HDMI
Pre-Loaded Kodi 16.0:
The pre-loaded Kodi 16.0 app comes with many of today’s popular repos and add-ons. You can add or delete whatever you want with just a few short clicks.
Speed:
This device is fast. HD feeds in Kodi load quickly and I didn’t experience any buffering (I have 75mpbs internet). Live programs loaded quickly as well using IPTV related add-ons.
Other App options besides Kodi:
Although the box doesn’t come with other popular free movie and tv apps, I loaded a few to test them out. The options are truly endless. They all loaded quickly and worked fine but there was one problem (See Stock Remote).

The Not-So-Good:
The Standard Stock Remote:
The stock remotes have been a problem with most android boxes to cut costs. The stock remote is almost useless on apps other than Kodi. Its saving grace is that it has a built-in mouse toggle, but even with that, it is very difficult to navigate. The other problem I had with the remote is that batteries were NOT included. While this may be a small thing for some, my stock of spare batteries was running low (I only had 1 battery).                                                

 Bottom line, you may want to invest in a keyboard/mouse touchpad combo or an air mouse/keyboard combo.
The inaccurate instruction booklet: The instruction booklet shows an air mouse/keyboard combo, which it really needs.Testing the Element Ti5 Android TV Box
I was told they discontinued it because of bad reviews due to people not realizing they needed to plug the USB dongle in the box for it to work.
All in all, it's really a great box that is impressive. This box is good for the novice or advanced user. It is definitely affordable and DOES NOT have the limitations that the Amazon Fire Tv Box/Stick has.
