I reviewed Ugoos AM1 TV box based on Amlogic S905 processor a few weeks ago, and while the hardware was rather good, and found the firmware lacking with some bugs such as the remote control and one USB port not port, some instability issues with Google play and Kodi, Bluetooth transfer corruption, etc… The company has now released a firmware update (v 0.0.4) that will fix most of the issues I reported, and also sent me a new remote control as the one I had was an early model, and we’ve decided to giveaway one Ugoos AM1 to one lucky winner, the same way we had done for Ugoos UT4.
The Rafflecopter form below has three options, each optional, but if you do all three you’ll get more chances to win. The contest will run for 4 days until March 16 10am (GMT+7), I’ll select the winner randomly through RaffleCopter, and expect an answer within 24 hours or I’ll select another winner. Ugoos will them ship the device to the winner free of charge, and the contest is open worldwide.
The firmware has also been updated to support both types of remote control.
Good luck!

I would test this box to it fullest potential. Especially 4k. Hop onto ReleaseHub addon and stream 4k content to my 65″ 4k 3D tv.?
I would also like to review a unit like this 🙂
Good to see another Comp, Cheers
Thank you
Good one for home entertainment 🙂
I would like to review this unit. Super Exited 🙂
UGOOS always makes interesting products and have great support.
Looks great!
love to get one 🙂
To use it as media server.
It is definitely uaeful for home media streaming
Yep, up for anything Ugoos. I want to see their take on the S905.
I like that colour 😀
I’d break it down into parts to use to repair my flying saucer and finally get back home.
Love to get one!
This could be a handy device.
This would be my first Android TV box to give a new life to my Samsung digital (but not smart) TV.
By the way, I like the simplicity of the old remote, but not the big logo. Too bad they couldn’t make this design work and had to change it completely.
Thanks for the invite
You go os, l’ami!
I’d love to play around with the firmware on this unit
Butter me Up!
I need a new box to impress my techie friends…
nice giveaway
@PuceBaboon
If you can wait a couple of lunar cycles, we can give you a tow on our way back. No point in sacrificing the AM1 to fix your saucer, it is a bit too nice for that. 🙂
Speriamo di vincere!
countmein!!
I will make it a tvheadend server for a home TV streaming.
Nice !
Kodi box definitely!
I want one 😉
Would be great device replacing my current MXIII-G.
I would put it in my bedroom 🙂
Great. Love the blue color
Let’s play!
thx for this giveaway 🙂
This would replace my petty little stick they call a “4k capable device”.
use it as my bedroom media device
The old remote looks prettier…
Thank you for this. I would use it at home
Great!
I would give it to my son.
Seems quite nice. I dont have an android box yet. Would be my test object 😀
As always, thanks for doing a giveaway. Would be a useful little device.
Create smart TV with my dumb Samsung TV…. I hope.
excellent :p
it is a good product
Yay, more competitions!
I would love to use this box for watching media files
my old device is dead, I would like to test this.
as a HTPC probably, CX-01 (Telechips) just isn’t really good enough now
Thank you for the oportunity
thanks a lot, I never win these things 🙂
Why not…
Nice box but I always loose
me too
Great device! Thank you!
cool!!!!
Haber si tengo suerte !!!. gracias
Am I feeling lucky, punk.
I’m in 🙂
I’ve had several android-sticks in the past and i would like to see if th S905 is a better option than my current android stick.
Why not, I would like to try how Kodi performs on that hardware..
I’d build a complete emulation station, from Vectrex to PSX1
I would try Ugoos Tv Box
i’m in to. Nice to be able to participate a giveaway for a reviewed cnx approved device, we exactly know what we would win.
İ will win this one 🙂
Go smart !
I want to try the Ugoos Tv Box!
why not. I’ve already written what I would be doing with such a device last time.
This will be my first ARM based embedded platform. A great hackable device to start learning low level communication protocols like UART, SPI, I2C, CAN bus etc. etc. If I get this, it will open up a whole new world to me.
Sounds interesting.
Let’s rock …
I’d like to try it too!
It seems an interesting device for watching TV, YouTube etc.
As a rockchip fan im curious how bad the amlogic 905 is 😉
I’m in
I’m in.
Thanks
I have been wanting to try a ugoos
Always looking for the next best thing
am in
nice.
I would use it as a kodi and retroarch box.
I would use it as a gaming device for me nephew
Would probably replace my s812 with it.
I love it
Interesting
Nice pretty little thing.
İ will win this one 🙂
I want one! My HTPC melted down!!!
Excited to try out an AMLogic device especially with their open source support.
one can never get enough of those toys =)
I wanna win to upgrade my tv from old tech to new tech
I would like to take it to the limits and develop some cool stuff
nice product. i want it!
Test it out, give it a spin to see how good AMLogic is. If I like it use it as my main vide player.
I could make a good use of an Android TV box – and Ugoos is one of the few brands that I prefer!
I don’t understand.
There are 84 comments (#85 is this one – not part of the competition), but 394 entries – how could this be, if each user could only havey 3 entries (or even if it is 4 – adding another one by just registering to the competition)?!
84 x 3 = 252
84 x 4 = 336
So how come there are 394 entries?!
Or maybe it’s just that people have registered to the competition, but didn’t leave a comment?
I’d watch movies on the Android TV box with occasional web surfing
Because I have ut3 and love to see how’s this working.
I would replace my aging 808B with this for streaming video however I might give it a new case with better passive cooling.
Niiice
I would like to watch kodi
I am going to give this a roll, haha. Hope I win. The device looks interesting, I’m certain it will run around my present Kodi box.
This would be a nice replacement for my ancient WDTV.
I’d love to win this to try a machine at this end of the scale. I’ve worked with Arduino, MSP 432s, and a BeagleBone, but it’d be nice to try something a bit higher up the performance scale. Good luck everyone!
I would like to get Ugoos AM1 Android TV Box.
@Ron
It’s possible people did not comment, and clicked on commented, or some other people only entered the contest using Facebook.
Am up for it 🙂
Nice
Looks great! 🙂
Nice box
Cool box
Nice replacement for my old WDTV.
giveaway!
Yes, please. This bad boy looks to be the machine that the UT3S should have been. Better body, better finish and even more power, and more power is always good
What’s even weirder? That yesterday my comments were #84 and #85 – but today they are #95 and #96… (not including this one, which is currently #114).
This could only be possible in… the twilight zone!!!
(I wonder how many of the readers are familiar with the source of my joke)
I want one ?
very nice device for kodi 😀
Thanks cnx and ugoos
@Ron
That one has an easy explanation: moderated comments. Some people commented before you, but their comments were moderated until I accept them.
To use it with Kodi as a media player 🙂
Please add me to a draw !!
Hi! I wish I could win once.
I am really interested in getting a good media player, but most of them are falsely advertised as 4k. I wonder if this one can actuality play 4k content
It will be nice to test this little piece on my LG 49 UF8507.
@Jean-Luc Aufranc (CNXSoft)
So not all comments are being moderated? (Generally speaking about this site, not just at this page)
Sometimes I do get a notice that my comment is waiting for moderation – but most of the time, I don’t.
I would enjoy perfect playback of videos, as S905 with Ugoos’ software seem to guarantee.
Another guiveaway, excelente.
Really nice prize! I am sure that Ugoos will develop one of the best firmwares for their S905 machine. I would use the AM1 to monitor and record from my home IP cameras.
Thanks!
I want to test this device.
It’s just nice blue!
A good present for my childrens.
Thanks.

Can’t wait to receive this unit 🙂
I would like to see how much lag there is compared to a RK3288 ! And, well just enjoy it 🙂
it looks awesome i hope i can win this time
I would use as home automation, voip client and media center.
for a media center.
I want to test this device.
Would love to use it for media player.
Look cool, I’m in
I need a media center like this
I would like to enter also.
That box would serve great as a media center in the living room.
I would use it as a HTPC.
Thank you
i want to try android on tv
Amlogic S905 is best socket for Android, so far.
me too
Hey, I want one if you choose me 🙂
Thanks!!
Good luck!
I would try to learn to use one of these things!
I will use it as a Kodi player 🙂
Awesome, this is great.
Review it and publish the findings
I’d like to see how the device compares to my S805 and M805 devices.
I just got rid of the monkey on my back (the evil empire, Xfinity/Comcast), as of today. This beauty would enable me to still enjoy the content that I love, with being held hostage to a monthly plan.
I’m looking from month or two for sweet Amlogic S905 device to replace my S805 ….that’s one fits 🙂
thanks count me in
thanks you
I would like to win. Looks like a good device for the media room.
I would use it to upgrade my old tv to a smarter tv so I can have a second tv.
I would use it as a Kodi box in the living room.
Love to have it
Sure, why not 🙂
Have some good use with my dumb TV.
Mother’s Day is coming, so I can use that one 🙂
I need this
Nice design, new firmware shows that Ugoos reacts on feedback from users…
I would use it as a media center in my wife’s SUV for entertainment during long trips.
I would use it to make a better recreational room
Good one. I am in.
Wonder what the orange tab coming out at the bottom of the older remote does.
Would use it in the living room
And the winner is… Ihsan!
I like to be on your RaffleCopter.
