Panasonic MX950, MX650, MX610 and MX600: what they ship with and what comes off

This page closes Panasonic off, and it covers the bottom of the range. The brand's UK shop window holds five operating systems at once, and three of the five are here: the MX950 declares my Home Screen8.0, the MX650 declares Android TV (v.11), and the MX610 and the MX600 declare Smart TV (+ Foxxum AppStore).

Checked on all fourteen models: both sizes of the MX950 and all four of each of the other three series. The box does not change within a series. Almost everything else follows from those three lines, because exactly one set out of fourteen has ADB.

What Foxxum is, since Panasonic will not say#

Foxxum is a German company from Kiel. Its legal notice names it Foxxum UG, at Westring 453, 24118 Kiel, with HRB 27513 Kiel on the commercial register, and its company page says it was founded in 2011: "Foxxum was established in 2011 and quickly emerged as a pioneering developer of connected TV solutions".

What it was selling when these sets shipped is on its site from back then: "Foxxum provides operating systems for Connected TVs", and under that a Foxxum OS 4 built on RDK which, in its own press release, was going to "significantly drive the standardization of Linux-based CTVs". Linux, not Android. The commercial side of it was called "TV Store".

In August 2023, while this range was on sale, Foxxum was sold: "ZEASN Technology Private Ltd (...) announces the acquisition of Foxxum GmbH". And in the same release, the line that matters: "Whale OS 3 and Foxxum OS 4 operating systems will be merged into the new Whale OS 4". It also explains what a store like this lives on: "the unique sharing of 80% of the monetization revenue of CTV operating systems with partners".

Today, in 2026, foxxum.com no longer sells operating systems or stores: it sells app development for third parties. Your television's store is kept running by a company that changed owner and changed business while the set sat in the living room.

Panasonic, for its part, writes the word Foxxum exactly once in the whole spec sheet, in the Smart TV box, with no footnote explaining it. On the MX610 and MX600 product pages it does not appear at all: the selling line is "Smart TV with Major Streaming Apps", and nothing more.

What that means for you#

It is not Android. So there is no ADB, no pm disable-user, no package list, and nothing gets installed from outside. What there is is a closed catalogue somebody else decides, and what you can do, you do from the menus.

There is no Bluetooth either: both declare Bluetooth: N and Bluetooth Audio Link: N, and the bundled accessory is a TV Remote with no microphone. No wireless headphones, no Bluetooth remote. And there is one box worth checking if somebody in the house needs it: Voice Guidance: N. The MX950 and the MX650 declare it as Y; these two do not.

If the set is going to outlive its store's catalogue, the way out is the usual one: an external box over HDMI. It is covered in what to do with a TV that no longer gets updates.

The MX650 is the only one with ADB#

It declares Android TV (v.11), Voice Personal Assistant: Google Assistant Built-In, Mirroring: Chromecast built in and a TV Remote (Bluetooth/embedded microphone). There is a Play Store, and Panasonic's own footnote confirms it the odd way round: Web Browser reads N, and the note explains that "The Web Browser is not available as pre-installed. However, end-user can download from Google Play store".

Here the method and the vocabulary from the rest of the site apply: you enable ADB, pull the package list before touching anything, and disable what you do not use. It is Android 11, so the prefix that matters is com.google.android., and the launcher and the store are the two things you leave alone.

Watch what this one gives up along the way: Home Network: N, IP Home Control: N, Bluetooth Audio Link: N, USB-HDD Recording: N and a dash in Twin Tuner.

The MX950 is not Android either#

my Home Screen8.0 is Panasonic's own system. It is not Fire OS, not Google TV and not Android: there are no packages to list here either. In exchange it is the best equipped of the four in everything that is not software: Twin Tuner: Y, USB-HDD Recording: Y (w/ Rewind Live TV), three USB, Web Browser: Y, Alexa Built-in: Y and Works with Google Assistant: Y.

And it is genuinely Mini LED, not Mini LED by name: the Panel Technology box reads 4K LCD/Mini LED, with Local Dimming Ultra and HCX Pro AI Processor. Its Panasonic Picture Index: 2,500 is not nits, just like the 1,800 on the MX800: it is an in-house index with no unit that only ranks the brand's own sets.

The ports, which behave well here#

eARC is on input 2 across all fourteen models. No exception. Worth writing down, because in this same LED range the MX800 moves it to input 4, and it is the only Panasonic on this site that does.

How many there are does change. The MX950 declares HDMI Inputs: 4 (side: 3, rear: 1). The other three declare 2 (side), 1 (back): that is three, and with the soundbar on input 2 you have two left.

On gaming, the MX950 declares HDMI 2.1 VRR Support: Y, HDMI 2.1 HFR - 120Hz Support: Y, AMD Freesync Premium: Y and Game Mode Extreme with Game Control Board. On the MX650, the MX610 and the MX600 that section of the sheet does not exist: it is not that they say no, it is that Panasonic does not publish the box. The only thing all three declare is ALLM (All inputs).

Down below, the three series share a panel#

Put the 55-inch sheets for the MX650, the MX610 and the MX600 side by side and the picture and sound half is identical: Panel: 4K ULTRA HD, Panel Drive: 4K 1200 Hz RMR, Muti HDR Support: HDR10/HLG/Dolby Vision (three formats, no HDR10+), Contrast: High Contrast, Local Dimming: N, Advanced Video Processor/Engine: 4K Colour engine and Speaker Output: 20 W (10 W x 2), rising to 24 W (12 W x 2) on the 65-inch sets.

That 4K 1200 Hz RMR is another index, not a panel refresh rate. Across these three series Panasonic publishes no refresh rate at all.

The only two differences run the opposite way to what you would guess: the MX650 declares Adaptive Backlight Dimming: N and Surround: N, while the MX610 and MX600 declare Y and Surround Sound. Energy class does the same: the MX650 is E at 50, 55 and 65 inches and the other two are F. What the MX650 charges extra for is Android, not the picture.

The MX610 and the MX600 are the same television#

Same Smart TV box, same ports, same panel, same F class and the same declared consumption at each size: 65, 77 and 85 kWh/1000h at 50, 55 and 65 inches. The selling points on their pages are the same list of six lines, with "colours" swapped for "colors".

What does change is the foot, and that decides the furniture. At 55 inches the MX600 declares Dimension Pedestal: 942x39x266 and the MX610 declares 450x27x235: one stands nearly end to end, the other sits near the centre. At 65 inches it is 1251x39x298 against 560x32x275. Measure before you buy.

On energy, each one publishes its own half#

The MX950 declares Rated Power Consumption (240 W at 55 inches, 285 W at 65) and Standby: 0.5 W, but carries no energy class box at all. The other three declare class and consumption in kWh/1000h but leave Rated Power Consumption as a dash. And on the 43-inch MX610 and MX600 the declared consumption is literally N/A with the class set to F.

How to tell whether this page is about your television#

Here every code starts with TX-, which at Panasonic separates this generation from the TV- of Fire TV and the TB- of TiVo. The brand documents TX-55MX950B and TX-65MX950B; and at 43, 50, 55 and 65 inches, TX-43MX650B and its three siblings, TX-43MX610B and its own, and TX-43MX600B and its own. The last letters change by country.

On the MX650, Settings → Device Preferences → About gives the model and the Android version. On the other three, check the sticker on the back.

If you own one#

There is not one published app list for the Foxxum store anywhere. If you switch on an MX610 or an MX600 and write down what the store held, what the menu let you remove, and whether the set has had a single update since 2023, that is information nobody has right now. And if you pull the package list off an MX650 exactly as it comes back, the next person searching for the model finds the work already done.
