Best Android TV Boxes of 2025

"I found the setup to be easy and the design is really sleek. I love how the home page looks and the digital wall art it shows when idle."

"This device turned my old TV into a giant digital picture frame for just $30, solving my EMBY compatibility issue perfectly. I'm really impressed!"

"I was pleasantly surprised by how well this device works. I can now stream YouTube videos without any jerkiness, and it has all the standard apps I need."

"I bought this product to play Brawl Stars, but found out the game isn’t available on my device. However, it has a wide range of features that I appreciate for my tech projects. I eventually figured out how to cast the game from my iPhone without a third-party app, and the streaming is seamless. It serves my original purpose while being a versatile and powerful device. The only downside is the hardware feels cheap, but the software is impressively robust. It’s like a car that looks basic but has the power of a Mustang under the hood."

"My main issue with this product is the outdated Google apps that don't update, making it feel stuck in the 90s. Other than that, everything else is just okay. The Internet access is limited, only allowing me to access the Google homepage, which makes it frustrating to navigate. Overall, it feels like second-rate programming to me."

"I found this box to be one of the best devices I've worked with. It comes ready for developers, and adding channels or apps is a breeze. The storage is perfect for my needs. However, I did face a little challenge connecting to my WiFi, but it still does what I need. I think it might be because of my 5.8 GHz WiFi connection, as most of these devices only support 5.0 GHz."

"I found it absolutely worth the money! The channels are endless, allowing me to watch programs from other countries. Just make sure you have high-speed internet; sometimes the channels take a bit to load. Overall, I rate it 8/10."

"This Android box works great for my needs! I primarily use it for movie streaming and IPTV. It’s powerful with ample RAM and very fast. I did have a minor issue with the included keyboard's battery, but I used my own wireless keyboard. The seller was very communicative and helpful in resolving my issue."

"I had a poor experience with my first box, which only worked for a day. However, the replacement has been working perfectly since. The setup was easy, and I appreciate the fast performance of this device."

"This is the worst box Android I've ever purchased. Out of my nine boxes, two are like this one, and they really come at the bottom of the list. The remote control and box itself just don’t work well."

"La caja no es muy robusta. I find the remote control to be lacking, and the device frequently locks up, requiring resets."

"My internet connection is 400 kbs, but this box barely allows 90 kbs. Other than that, it runs quite well."

"I've tried various HDMI streaming devices, but the nVidia Shield has been a game changer. After months of use, I find it great—very stable and fast. All my streaming apps work flawlessly, with hardly a pause or freeze. Though it's pricier than alternatives, it's worth every penny for the viewing experience. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for quality."

"Having used multiple streaming devices, I can confidently say the nVidia Shield is the best. Performance is smooth and responsive, with no lag or buffering issues. I love how it integrates with my Alexa and doorbell, making things easier for me due to my handicap. The setup was a breeze, and everything works perfectly. I have zero complaints and am extremely happy with my purchase!"

"Es el mejor en calidad de audio y video. Comparado con Google Chromecast y Fire TV stick 4k, la calidad y funcionalidad del nVidia Shield son incomparables. El escalamiento por IA a 4K es impresionante. Lo he conectado a un proyector y el audio y video son impecables. Además, puedo jugar en línea con Nvidia GE Force. Definitivamente, una gran ventaja sin necesidad de una consola."

"I’m definitely going to keep getting these boxes. The newer ones that come out are great. As long as I have Internet, I can stream everything for free. I absolutely love Kodi on these boxes and no longer pay for Netflix since everything is available without charge, even movies that haven't hit theaters yet."

"The box runs Kodi perfectly and responds quickly. Setup was a breeze, and it even works well with my poor Wi-Fi connection. I found that using VLC player is necessary for some media files from my flash drive, as the default player has limited codecs."

"I really enjoy the surround sound from this box, and the picture quality is better too. However, this is the second box I’ve had because the first one caused all my hardwired connections to go offline. The Wi-Fi was still operational, but I decided to return it. This second one is doing the same, but I’ll try to troubleshoot it instead of sending it back."

"The setup was a breeze, and I noticed a big improvement over my previous device."

"Bluetooth and WiFi are working again, thanks to the latest system update. Streaming has greatly improved, although I still have issues with some YouTube videos."

"Casting from my phone is problematic; it doesn't recognize the device despite being on the same network. Plus, the quality of the materials feels cheap for the price."

"I've used three other Android TV boxes, but this one is by far the worst. The platform lacks a real Android base, and most apps are incompatible. It’s extremely slow with poor video quality. I even hesitated to factory reset it due to security concerns. I returned it to avoid the seller having access to my account. Overall, a cheap, unsecured product. I recommend staying away!"

"For me, this box was primarily for playing movies offline through VLC. I didn’t use any streaming services. It handles 1080p and 720p files surprisingly well on my old plasma TV. The mouse pointer function can be a bit frustrating at times, but I got used to it. After two months, it stopped booting up, which seems to be a common issue. However, for a $40 Android TV box, it fit my needs perfectly!"

"I found this TV box to be very easy to use and its small design makes it fit anywhere. I had a similar one before, but this one is nicer and cheaper. Overall, I'm quite happy with my purchase."

"I've really enjoyed this box so far. It’s fast and easy to use. My only issue is the lack of Hulu and Prime Video apps, but I managed to install Hulu manually."

"I’ve loved this little device for years. Great picture quality and smooth UI. My only minor complaints are the clicky remote buttons and the fact that it’s Wi-Fi only."

"I bought this thinking it could replace my Fire TV. It reads large hard drives like a champ. However, it has only one USB port. Overall, it's an impressive device."

"I bought this device to use Kodi on my 4K TV, but although the box settings show 4K resolution, it only displays in 1080p when using Kodi. My Wi-Fi is supposed to be Wi-Fi 6, but I only get 15 mbps down. Meanwhile, my laptop connected to the same gateway achieves 120 mbps. The app loading times are also frustrating; I often have to wait 5 seconds to click the next option."

"This product lacks clear instructions on how to connect and use it. I believe the company should provide better information to help users."

"Honestly, I don't think this device has Wi-Fi 6. It barely reaches 60 mbps while my other devices get 500-900 mbps from the same spot. Plus, I can't use two Bluetooth devices simultaneously without audio lag. The device is incredibly slow; streaming web videos leads to constant buffering. I would suggest buying an Android phone instead and connecting it to the TV with a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard."
