    Default Why does my box think it is a pixel 5?

    Question for those who might help.

    Bought a H96 Max box from aliexpress because it had 4 Gigs of Ram as opposed to the box I have now which has 1 Gig of RAM. My brand new android tv also has 1 Gig of RAM.

    Thinking more RAM would help with the constant buffering, I bought the box and waited the 3 weeks before it arrived.

    Hooked up the box and from the get go, nothing but problems. It would hang all the time, would not play YouTube videos or Netflix movies. IPTV was just too much of a hassle.

    Seller wants proof so I uploaded video to google drive but seller says google drive is illegal can not be accessed in China. Aliexpress customer service is non existent. Hoping my credit card company will refund.

    Google also tells me that the a new pixel 5 is logged into my google account. I don't have a pixel 5. I started getting these alerts after logging into my google account from the H96 Max box. Why would it say pixel 5 is the one thing I am trying to figure out and maybe someone can help.

    Thank you.

    I would buy it but I'm thinking long term and need 4 Gigs for better performance.

    The 4900 looks great but the price is a bit much for me. Hoping for a good sale this boxing day.

    Lots of 4 gigs boxes on amazon for $60-$70 but saw a review of the Buzz boxes and I was impressed.

    Don't get too caught up in the specs.The Buzz models all work great,bottom to top models, with a decent iks service.I have 3 different Buzz models in my home:3000/3900/4500.Freezing is a rare occurance, & never the boxes fault.

    Ended up getting a box from Amazon with same setup and specs as the E2 although I must admit I did like the Buzz interface. Wonder if I can upload it on this box. I have been running the new box all day today and extremely happy with it. Performance is great, no hiccups or lag. Very snappy and responsive. I wish I had done it before buying from aliexpress. Now seller "can" not receive messages from me and my less than stellar review is nowhere to be found.

    Thank you guys for your help.
