Summary
The HK1 Android TV Box is a good unit for the price and will make a good basic media player.
It has no problems streaming 4K videos @60fps, along with basic gaming.
If you are a big Netflix user, it only streams at 480p since the box is rooted along with not much DRM support, which Netflix requires.
The HK1 will have no problems playing Kodi or any add-ons and will make for a good Kodi box.
There are better Android TV boxes with better hardware, but they do cost more and have a lot of features that may not be needed.
If you just need a basic Android TV box with fast WiFi that can play HD 4K videos, the HK1 is a good unit.
I am still testing the unit so far with good results and will update if anything changes.
Great review! I appreciate the detailed breakdown of the HK1 Android TV Box. The performance specs look promising, especially with the S905X3 chip. I’m curious about the user interface and app compatibility. Has anyone had any issues with streaming services?
