Gearbest is selling the new H96 Max Android TV box at a discount as of Sunday. The mini-computer is available for $22.50 (€20.42) in a limited quantity.
The H96 Max is only one of several products created by H96. The company, based out of Shenzhen, China, is well known for its Android TV boxes. The new 3318 model is the latest edition to the H96 Max series.
The H96 Max box runs Android 9.0—making it easy to stream content using almost any Android streaming app. The box uses an HDMI output and comes with a few additional ports, including USB 3.0. The H96 Max supports both Bluetooth and WiFi but also offers an Ethernet port for hardwired connections.
You can expect a few accessories with the mini-computer. The package includes the H96 Max TV box, a wireless remote, an HDMI cable, and a power adapter for the TV box.
You can get your hands on the H96 Max Android TV box via Gearbest. As of Sunday, the price has been set at $22.50 (€20.42), with a default price of $49.00 (€44.47). The H96 Max isn't the first Android TV box or mini-computer, but it definitely stands out against competition like the Raspberry Pi with a price this low.

Cheaper than a Rasberry Pi but also much less versatile and useful. There is nothing about it that makes it stand out from the crowd of other units using 7-year-old tech and having a low price point.
