How did we choose the best TV boxes?
To be included in our rating, a console must meet several criteria. Firstly, the operating system should function without any problems. If slowdowns occur regularly, this will be mentioned in reviews of the device, which is why it will definitely not be in our selection. Secondly, the device must be created by a reputable manufacturer. There is no point in expecting anything good from a TV set-top box made by a Chinese company founded just a year ago. Thirdly, the product must reliably handle the launch of a wide variety of video formats. After all, this is precisely why they buy it almost in the first place.

The best Android TV box manufacturers
Just recently, TVs were not able to boast of smart functionality. However, now almost half of the devices on the shelves have Smart TV at their disposal. In this regard, TV boxes on Android are in less and less demand. In 2021, they are bought mainly so that it becomes possible to watch YouTube even in the kitchen, where there is a TV purchased many years ago. However, there is far more than one manufacturer in this market.
Perhaps the best brand in the world of TV set-top boxes is Xiaomi
.
The Chinese company has been busy creating smartphones, and creating a high-quality TV box for it is a matter of technology. The remaining companies are heard by a noticeably smaller number of people - these are Vontar
,
Ugoos
,
Tanix
and some others.
Some people have heard about HARPER
, but its products often suffer from weak components. But it has a low price tag.
By the way, some content providers produce their own set-top boxes with pre-installed Android. For example, such a product is offered for purchase by the online service “Smotryoshka”
. But you definitely shouldn’t expect impressive capabilities from such a device.
