Top 5 Android TV Boxes

MI TV BOX S – Xiaomi or Mi is a Chinese brand, which has earned a good repute in Pakistan. Making budget-friendly, reliable household products, Xiaomi sells a variety of items, including home appliances in Pakistan. Xiaomi’s MI TV BOX S is its latest offering, and if you are looking for an Android-based streaming box without splurging a huge amount, this could be your top choice.
However, be mindful that you may not be able to use it for too many high-performance tasks and may have to put up with some bugs.
H96 Pro Plus TV Box – This is a good budget option. This box comes with 32GB internal storage and 3GB RAM. The box has two USB ports, one microSD card port and one HDMI port. The device runs on the 7.1 Android version and has Bluetooth 4.1. While unboxing this device, you’ll find a remote control, user manual, HDMI cable, and power adapter, etc.
The only con of this device is that its remote control isn’t made of the best materials and has a bland look.
A95X Max – One of the unique features of this Android-based box is that it lets you record videos and then lets you share them with friends and family. And with this box, you can use your smartphone as a remote control. Another important feature of it is Bluetooth 5.0 for super fast data transmission.

Amazon Fire TV Cube – Some call it the best Amazon streaming device. Amazon originally released Fire TV Cube in 2017, which performed impressively. The latest Fire TV Cube is an upgraded version of its predecessor with a faster processor; it also comes with Dolby Vision.
Some may be wondering why we have included an Amazon device in this list as Amazon OS is different from Android. The reason is that Amazon Fire TV Cube uses Fire TV OS, which is a variation of Android.
MXQ Pro 4K TV Box – This is perhaps the most budget-friendly option. Its price is also its biggest pro. In addition, it offers high-performance Quad Core CPU and Penta Core GPU. It is also very easy to set up.
The first con of this streaming device is that it is not the most visually appealing Android-based device. Also, it does not support Bluetooth and offers only 1GB of RAM.
