There&#8217;s no better time to buy than during the <a href=\"https:\/\/go.droix.co.uk\/black-friday\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">DroiX Black Friday Sale<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-an-android-tv-box\">What is an Android TV Box?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An Android TV Box can be considered as a hybrid device between a set-top TV box (think a Sky+ box, or a TiVo box) and an Android phone, combining the form factor and connectivity options of the former, with the functionality of the latter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are looking for a dedicated streaming device an Android TV box is an excellent bet. Due to the huge breath of IPTV and other content streaming apps available on both the Google Play Store and other third party repositories (such as Kodi), you&#8217;ll essentially be spoiled for choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on what route you go for, your Android TV Box will either run the Android TV operating system, or a slightly tweaked version of the regular Android OS (optimized for larger displays). The two are similar in function, but the latter offers a greater degree of freedom with regards to customization. And it is for that reason that we at DroiX prefer it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Android TV Boxes are also excellent as digital signage controllers, due to their ease of setting up, and relatively low power draw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">[Video] Best Android TV Boxes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We have created a short video showing some of the best Android TV boxes we have available during the DroiX Black Friday sale. Take a look below!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Best Android TV Boxes this Black Friday 2021 - Amazing bargains and discounts!\" width=\"1170\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nMF4mSQ_gyw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-gs-king-x-is-it-a-nas-is-it-an-android-tv-box\">GS King X | Is it a NAS?

A seasoned manufacturer of all computers on the small side size-wise. Taking many by surprise, the Beelink GS King X is essentially the penultimate form of the Android TV Box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first thing that will catch your eye is it&#8217;s <strong>size<\/strong>. It features a large upper cavity which, upon further inspection, allows the GS King X to support not one, but <strong>two full-sized HDDs<\/strong>. Allowing for a theoretical maximum storage of <strong>32TB<\/strong> (although we doubt most people will ever reach this cap unless they&#8217;re data hoarders).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Selling point number two of the GS King X is it&#8217;s plethora of audio output options. On top of your standard 3.5mm headphone jack, there are also dedicated left\/right RCA outputs, and left\/right BAL (balanced) outputs. This makes it a perfect fit for audio enthusiasts with non-standard setups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brain of the GS King X is the Amlogic S922X-H SoC (system-on-a-chip). This SoC utilizes six cores to achieve a maximum frequency of 2.2GHz, allowing it to not only decode high-quality 4K video without skipping a beat, but also to play games (particularly emulators) if the user wishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those who find that the built-in HDD bay isn&#8217;t enough, there are also four USB 3.0 ports as well as a microSD card slot. If you set your mind to it, the GS King X is an absolute storage powerhouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To learn more about the GS King X, we encourage you to take a look at the <a href=\"https:\/\/droix.co.uk\/product\/beelink-gs-king-x\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">store page<\/a> for the full breadth of technical specs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-beelink-gt-king-pro-the-best-high-end-box\">Beelink GT King Pro | The Best High-end Box<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"855\" height=\"575\" src=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/gt-king-pro.png\" alt=\"GT King Pro Android TV Box - Frontal Angled View\" class=\"wp-image-3733\" style=\"width:590px;height:394px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/gt-king-pro.png 855w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/gt-king-pro-300x202.png 300w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/gt-king-pro-768x516.png 768w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/gt-king-pro-370x250.png 370w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/gt-king-pro-450x303.png 450w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/gt-king-pro-780x525.png 780w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 855px) 100vw, 855px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-499968f5 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-75\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/droix.co.uk\/product\/beelink-gt-king-pro\/\" style=\"background-color:#9fb526\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Buy NOW @ DroiX<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The GT King Pro is a favourite android tv box of us here at DroiX for a number of reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First of all, its&#8217; performance. With the Amlogic S922X-H SoC (system on a chip), six cores of processing are leveraged to provide outstanding performance in both streaming and gaming applications, making this a highly versatile android box for IPTV, android games and emulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On top of the 4k display output via HDMI, the GT King Pro also supports dolby DTS sound, providing you with an immersive audio experience for your home theater setup. Hear the full range of sounds, highs, and lows with this premium android TV box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A unique feature of the GT King Pro is the presence of an RS232 port. While not really practical for the average user, it is interesting to know that the device can be connected to industrial machinery if necessary, giving it more viability in niche setups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The metal shell of the GT King Pro is also highly appealing. With a cool, matte blue finish that gives it a unique yet subdued appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for an android box that has comparable performance to the GT King Pro, but don&#8217;t want to pay extra for bells and whistles that you probably won&#8217;t use, there&#8217;s no better option than the GT King Pro as of 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To learn more about what the GT King Pro can do, check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/droix.co.uk\/product\/beelink-gt-king-pro\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">store listing<\/a> for it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-droix-x4-pro-the-best-budget-android-box\">DroiX X4 Pro | The Best Budget Android Box<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"826\" height=\"433\" src=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/x4-pro.png\" alt=\"X4 Pro Android TV Box - Frontal View\" class=\"wp-image-3732\" style=\"width:526px;height:275px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/x4-pro.png 826w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/x4-pro-300x157.png 300w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/x4-pro-768x403.png 768w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/x4-pro-450x236.png 450w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/x4-pro-780x409.png 780w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 826px) 100vw, 826px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-499968f5 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-75\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/droix.co.uk\/product\/x4-pro-digital-signage-android-box\/\" style=\"background-color:#9fb526\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Buy NOW @ DroiX<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>For those who are on a slightly tighter budget this Black Friday, the DroiX X4 Pro is sincerely worth considering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of our more recent launches, the aim behind the DroiX X4 Pro is to provide a simplified, streamlined experience when it comes to your streaming, IPTV, or digital signage needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s no real bells and whistles here.
