Unless a new processor is out, we don’t cover most TV boxes as they mostly provide the same features with little differentiation between products. But the manufacturer of A95X Max Plus TV box has decided to leverage the excellent gaming performance of Amlogic S922X processor, by bundling the device with a Wii-like motion-sensing remote control and a Bluetooth gamepad. The mechanical design is quite different from competing products as well.
A95X Max Plus TV box specifications:

The TV box/game console runs Android 9.0, and ships with an HDMI cable, an IR remote control, a power supply, a user manual, and the aforementioned Bluetooth gamepad with motion-sensing remote control.
One should always take marketing materials with a grain of salt, but it looks like it may be possible to use two sensing remote controls at the same time if the photo showing two little girls playing football together bears any resemblance to reality…
I don’t see them carrying any remote either. There’s something that looks like a red LED on top of the USB port, so I wonder if it could be a depth-sensing camera, but it’s not documented at all, and if that was the case it’s really a big omission. Another important point is that they did not list the games compatible with the motion sensor only saying “there are more motion-sensing games to discover”. I’m not even sure the football game pictured above does actually exist.
I found the new TV box while browsing Banggood new arrivals feed, and if you feel adventurous, you could purchase it on their site for $138.99 including shipping, Note that it is the pre-order price, and it will go up to $149.99 as time passes.
