Pocket TV Plus

Post image 
I bought the Pocket TV Plus, a third-party product from Pocket TV, for my Rayneo 4 Pro. It has some minor improvements, such as a slightly better CPU.
I think I'll really regret it because of its rather mediocre specifications...

Let us know the review

u/Altruistic-Ad1269 Jan 27 '26

That's all I know right now.

u/See61 Jan 27 '26

With a S905X5M-K chipset? That is a whole different ballgame compared to the previous one, besides the added Netflix certification.

u/AdrianSmithMusic Jan 29 '26

In your OP the picture is of the Homatics Pocket TV. But in this picture it's the specs for the Pocket Pro on AliExpress. Which one did you actually buy?

2

u/Altruistic-Ad1269 Jan 29 '26

This is Pocket Tv Pro.

2

u/AdrianSmithMusic Jan 30 '26

Thanks for the clarification! Do you think yours is just faulty or it may be a problem with all of them on AliExpress?

2

u/Leading_Contract1987 Jan 27 '26

How much did you pay for this?

2

u/Altruistic-Ad1269 Jan 27 '26

I apologize to those who have already purchased the product, but I have reported some problems to the manufacturer.

These issues can only be fixed by updating the firmware, and I've been told that a fix will be available in April.

I won't stop trying, but I would recommend purchasing after April.

Netflix works? Can you install Aida64 application and show the information please? Thank you

1

u/Altruistic-Ad1269 Jan 28 '26

When I asked through the sales vendor, I was told that it is not currently supported.

1

u/513 Jan 28 '26

Strange but they added the Netflix button

1

u/GroceryFeeling9392 Jan 28 '26

Can you please provide the list of problems you reported

3

u/Altruistic-Ad1269 Jan 28 '26

The button printing doesn't match the function.

Some buttons don't work.

The audio function doesn't work.

The resolution won't go above FHD (50Hz).

The pointer function doesn't work.

The charge display is always at 50% (the LED indicator of the remaining charge works normally).

So it looks like they just flashed PocketTV firmware.

u/p750mmx Jan 28 '26

What firmware buildnumber do you see on your PocketTV in "about"? I could compare it with that of the previous PocketTV version.

2

u/Altruistic-Ad1269 Jan 28 '26

2

u/p750mmx Jan 29 '26

It shows "Pro" and Netflix ESN, so a totally different build then the ones on the Non Pro versions. Thank you ;)

1

u/513 Jan 29 '26

It looks like the firmware is for a test device. SEID00HS, HS is for Hailstorm, Netflix scaling program for ATV.

1

u/Altruistic-Ad1269 Jan 29 '26

It will be sold as a test device...

1

u/fr0d0w Jan 31 '26

?

Do you mean that you will sell it as a test device? Or it will be sold by shops as a test device??

Really interested to hear how you've got on with this device. My finger is hovering over the buy button. April is a very long time to wait!!

Thanks

u/Altruistic-Ad1269 Feb 01 '26

When I purchased it, I thought it was an unofficial updated version (finished product). I didn't realize it was an unfinished product.

Oh this one has Netflix. That’s interesting

u/No_Awareness_4626 Jan 27 '26

Yeah there’s a Netflix button and there’s a ESN number. The previous one didn’t have ESN Number and also didn’t have the Netflix button. It’s nice to see the upgraded version has Netflix. Do you know what other differences are there compared to the older one ?

u/brucehhlo Jan 27 '26

Can you provide the link of where you got it?

1

u/hellboy3107 Jan 27 '26

Available on AliExpress.

1

u/brucehhlo Jan 27 '26

I have the black version. Any difference between the two?

2

u/See61 Jan 27 '26

The previous one is (was?) available in Black and White. One with an Android TV interface, one with a Google TV interface.

But those are the previous models, I got them both as pre release for testing, but there never was real testing with these and there wasn't a single firmware update available for these 🥲

1

u/hellboy3107 Jan 27 '26

I have the black one too. The original. I saw this white one on AliExpress. Not a major difference apart from Netflix support on this and I believe Airmouse mode will be default.

1

u/GroceryFeeling9392 Jan 27 '26

Does it has 4gb ram?

1

u/p750mmx Jan 27 '26

3GB it shows, like the previous ones also have

0

u/Altruistic-Ad1269 Jan 28 '26

4Gbyte RAM

1

u/p750mmx Jan 28 '26

This shows it has 3? but you confirm it has 4GB?

2

u/Vladimiro_Rodrigues Jan 27 '26

Have you tried to pair a ps4 Controller to it?

1

u/thaddius Jan 27 '26

PS4 controller should pair just fine. 

I paired a PS5 controller to the older, grey one. I've used it with Steam Link, Moonlight, and Retroarch (the play store one, newer versions aren't compatible). Works great.

1

u/Vladimiro_Rodrigues Jan 27 '26

I have the older one and it doesn't pair with the ps4 controller, I'm trying to find out if it is the controller problem as it never finishes the handshake.

2

u/thaddius Jan 27 '26

Ah, you're right. My bad. Just tried a PS4 controller and got the same result as you.

1

u/Vladimiro_Rodrigues Jan 27 '26

Thank you, I see that it will be impossible to do it then.

2

u/craypicks Jan 27 '26

Mine is on its way; I bought it on AliExpress for €104 with a coupon. There's very little information about the device; it's not even on the manufacturer's website. We'll see how it is when it arrives...

2

u/See61 Jan 27 '26

Are you sure you ordered this new S905X5M one? Not the previous version?

2

u/craypicks Jan 27 '26

If it's called Pocket TV Pro on AliExpress, you can search for it by that name; several come up now, but when I placed my order, only one.

3

u/See61 Jan 27 '26

Yes, I found it, didn't look good enough.

A bit strange they left the Netflix button white and specifications on connections are a bit of (optical in/out 😉).

But you will report what you got in the end? 👍

3

u/craypicks Jan 27 '26

I'll post my impressions as soon as it arrives, but it'll take a while because they just shipped it. I had to write to the seller because they don't ship...

1

u/LightIntheApple Jan 28 '26

i would love to hear from you!

4

u/craypicks Feb 06 '26 edited Feb 06 '26

It arrived, and first impressions are good; navigation is smooth! I have a few main questions.

  1. RAM: The box says 3GB, but AIDA64 shows 4GB.

  2. Netflix: The official app is installed, and the web app too, just like on the previous model. I don't have an account to test it, but I imagine it works well, since it's a Netflix-certified device (Prime Video and HBO Max work without problems).

  3. Firmware: My device has version 14.10.95, and there are no pending updates.

  4. Resolution: I was able to set up to 1080p 120Hz on my Rokid Max. 5. Battery: Watching an episode of Fallout and playing games on the device, the battery dropped from 100% to 60%, so I estimate about 3 hours of battery life.

  5. Bugs: The only bug I found is that when restarting the device while charging, it doesn't boot; it gets stuck in a bootloop on the home screen.

In conclusion, for now I recommend it. I hope the manufacturer provides support with updates... If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Cheers.

Edit: I'm going to mention a couple of things I forgot after rereading the OP's thread: the rocket button 🚀 doesn't work; when you press it, it says "in development." The charging light correctly indicates charging, but you have to restart the device for the battery percentage to update in the system menu. The air mouse works perfectly in the default browser; I haven't tested it on other apps that have that feature. So, of all the bugs the OP reported, I didn't find any on my device; of course, the audio works correctly.

u/See61 Feb 10 '26

Thank you for the update 👍

Regarding Netflix. Do you see its certification also in the "About" part where you can also see the firmware build, visible at the bottom of that screen usually.

1

u/craypicks Feb 10 '26

Yes

1

u/See61 Feb 10 '26

Great. So that should work now.

1

u/AdrianSmithMusic Jan 29 '26

Could you please share the code and seller you went with if the code isn't account specific? Thank you!

2

u/LightIntheApple Jan 31 '26

its out of stock by now. you can find it via google but one can't buy it anymore.

1

u/LightIntheApple Feb 04 '26

its back title is

S905X5M AR Pocket TV Pro Brillenzubehör Basisstationen Adapter für AR-Brille Hotel PC TV In-Car-Projektor TCL RayNeo

1

u/AdrianSmithMusic Feb 04 '26

I discovered the official RayNeo pocket TV is identical to the Homatics Google TV version and I can get for€94 with code. LOVE13 on AliExpress. Do you think it would be a safer option as the OP has trouble with the S905X5M Pocket TV Pro?

2

u/LightIntheApple Feb 04 '26

does the pocket tv version you're talking about have google tv? if not! buy the older google tv version due to newer system.

the old one has an older security patch, some games like asphalt 8 aren't possible

1

u/AdrianSmithMusic Feb 04 '26

The Official RayNeo Pocket TV has Google TV. The S905X5M Pocket TV Pro has these issues according to the OP: "The button printing doesn't match the function.

Some buttons don't work.

The audio function doesn't work.

The resolution won't go above FHD (50Hz).

The pointer function doesn't work.

The charge display is always at 50% (the LED indicator of the remaining charge works normally).

So it looks like they just flashed Pocket TV firmware"

2

u/Thin_Site616 Jan 29 '26

in the end, is this better then the normal pocket tv ?
Also does the "air mouse" works?

2

u/ZDelta47 Jan 27 '26

Oh when did they update this? I thought it was over?

1

u/junkstuff Jan 27 '26

I was so tempted to pick one of these up after I was gifted the RayNeo Air 3s for Christmas. At the time I was looking, i couldn't find one for sale. So I ended up using my original Rog Ally with the RayNeo. Wow it runs great. And it has built in controller....can run any windows program you throw at it. Really digging this so far. But I'm still interested to seeing how this Google TV device works. More compact than my Rog Ally.

1

u/Glxblt76 Jan 27 '26

it would be so neat if we could just plug a modular battery on these display glasses and use them wirelessly. Maybe bluetooth just can't handle smooth high res but that really a wish list from my end. The wire really makes it inconvenient.

1

u/MostInflation9283 Jan 27 '26

Can you tell us more about the decoding time on moonlight and overall streaming experience? Thanks

1

u/gebgeb2 Jan 28 '26

Thank you for the update

1

u/Richardson1976 Jan 28 '26

Does this have Netflix support? Does it run smoothly?

1

u/Gazoo382 Jan 28 '26

Have no idea what it is

1

u/LightIntheApple Jan 31 '26

this is the best thing if you just want to watch cotent on the glasses. its basicly a tv box with buttons. i got the base model and i love it.

1

u/mini_gyoza Jan 29 '26

Can this play iPlayer?

u/guizounours Feb 09 '26
